The Multiples makes unique multiplication-themed dishware that inspires children to learn while they eat. Each of the BPA-free melamine plates and cups has a wide eyed animal friend with adorable name containing easy to read times tables along with helpful number counters that artfully line the lip of each piece. Our 6 year old test child loves when dinner is served on these plates and happily counts by 6s, 8s, or whatever the evenings chosen number is as she eats, showing off her new found knowledge. This is one time her mother is happy she is playing at dinnertime. The constant exposure to the number patterns in a fun, unassuming way is allowing her to learn without feeling the pressure of memorization.

If you are looking for a game that’s fun for family and even more fun after a couple drinks this holiday season, consider Think Geek’s Hover Kraft. It can take a couple minutes to get used to, but the game is pretty much like Jenga on a floating platform of magnets. We tested this one out with a large group and everyone from the kids who thought it was magic, to the grandparents who thought it was weird, all had a great time with it.

The same company that makes the runphones also makes special headphones for sleeping. There’s a lot of people who can’t fall asleep without music. Sadly, the people with whom they share a bed do not always want extra sound while they are dreaming. This bluetooth version of the sleep headphones allow you to have a comfy little band with the headphones built right in. It’s remarkably comfortable to sleep in. As an added benefit, you can also buy a super soft plush sheep and put the headphones inside of it. Because it is a straight bluetooth connection from your phone, you can also pre-record messages for your baby. This is especially great if one of the parents has to travel a lot or is stationed over seas in the military.

There are a few things out there that are timeless and ageless. They’ll be just as great a gift for a kid as they are for a grown up with a good sense of humor. That’s why we wanted to point out some of the Celebriducks to you. They are cute rubber duckies that are very reminiscent of some of your favorite TV shows, movies, and celebrities. Some of our favorites included The Quacking Dead, Mister Squawk, Breaking Bath, and Spa Wars (He looks like Yoda and he glows in the dark). They are all fully functional and will look awesome sticking out of someone’s stocking this Christmas. Check out even more on their website.

While most of the world is talking about Disney Infinity and Battlefront when it comes to Star Wars games this holiday season, we are talking about Wonder Forge. They’ve brought all the fun of family game night to the Star Wars franchise and created a line of games are a hell of a lot of fun. Some of our favorites include Galaxy Hunt, which tests your dexterity and luck while you remove pieces from the board, ever fearful of launching a First Order assault that wipes the game clean, and Force grab, which will keep the whole family laughing, while also testing your memory and how fast you can grab the game pieces.
