Top Stocking Stuffers for Under $10
Tuesday, December 7, 2010 
While Santa has been making his list and checking it twice - we have been too. Here is our list of Top Stocking Stuffers for under 10 dollars. Hope it helps!

1. Rory's Story Cubes
Roll the story cubes for infinite inspiration! Simply roll the 9 story cubes and begin with the image that catches your eye first. Start each tale with, "once upon a time..." and then let your imagination run wild. Great for solitary play or to use with others!

2. Shrinky Dinks
Shrinky Dinks have been and always will be awesome. Just color the special Shrinky Dink paper and stick it in the oven or microwave. Watch them shrink into much smaller, thick, plastic charms that you can use as jewelery, attach to magnets or just to keep around because they're cool.

3. Hexbug Nano
Kids love bugs; parents don't. Hexbug Nanos are the best of both worlds. They're bugs, but they're not disgusting! Kids love to watch them scurry around, just like real bugs. Watch them run into walls, change direction, and flip themselves over if they get stuck on their backs.

4. Ugly Doll Clips
Ugly Doll clips add gobs of character to anything you clip them to. Hang them from your belt loops, your back pack, your keys - or anything else for that matter! They make great collections because each Ugly comes complete with their own stories explaining their quirky, unique personalities.

5. Holiday Smencils
Made from recycled newpapers and stored in biodegradable Eco-corn tubes, Smencils are a huge hit with school kids and adults alike. Memory is closely linked with the olfactory sensory system, so they'll be sure to remember the warmth of the holidays when they take a whiff while writing.

6. Jacob's Ladder
Jacob's Ladder is the classic optical illusion toy that's been around for ages. Hold the top block and flip it over to watch the other blocks click and clack and appear to cascade downward. It's been delighting children and adults for centuries!

7. Tangle
This awesome sensory toy is great for twisting, snapping and tangling together. Tangles come in different colors, sizes and textures, which are sure to keep any fidgety hands busy.

8. ALEX Undercover Rearview Spy Glasses
Every good spy needs to be able to see what's going on behind them. Help your kid be a good spy by putting these in their stocking. They're a guaranteed win.

9. Yomega Yo-Yo
Tricks are great. Yomega yo-yos are great for learning all kinds of tricks. Many of them have metal bearings, which allow for maximum spinning speed.

10. Splashimals
We LOVE splashimals. They are floating playing cards that double as stickers for bathtub walls. Play them as a matching game, create your own weird animal combos or use them as a learning tool for animal and word recognition. They also make for great fun at the beach or in the pool!
