Best Educational Toys Christmas Gift Guide Plus Your Chance to win a Cleverstuff $150 Gift Voucher

Whether we are ready or not, it seems that the countdown to Christmas has begun.

Festive memes have started popping up in my Facebook newsfeed, friends have told me of their relief at finally finishing their Christmas shopping, confessing that they were a little disorganised this year – how shameful to have only just wrapped and hidden all the Christmas presents in October!

And then the panic sets in. EVERYONE else has finished their Christmas shopping, and I haven’t even thought about starting mine, and NOBODY in their right mind leaves shopping until the last minute when the shops are so busy with other last-minute panic buyers that it is a complete nightmare. Nobody else but me that is! And I can feel my blood pressure going up just thinking about it and…and…*takes deep breathes*

This year I’m getting organised! I’m starting now, and I’m doing the bulk of it online – leaving plenty of time for the delivery of parcels that can be hidden away while the kids are at school/kinder. Stress-free shopping from my living room!

One of my personal favourite places to shop (for my own children and my niece and nephews) is Cleverstuff.

Cleverstuff is an Australian owned store that prides itself on offering high quality, eco-friendly toys at an affordable price. You know those annoying, repetitive, noisy toys, that drive you crazy, and the plastic stuff that ends up at the bottom of the toy box broken and forgotten after a week? You won’t find any of that at Cleverstuff.

Cleverstuff stock an extensive range of toys that are designed to improve gross motor development, spatial awareness, early maths and literacy; toys that expand children’s imaginations, and encourage language and social skills; and they are so much fun kids will have no idea that they are learning!
The Cleverstuff website is extremely user friendly, and allows shoppers to search according to age (newborn to teens and all the in betweens),price of category (e.g. wooden toys, magnetic toys, art and craft etc). This makes for an enjoyable and time efficient shopping experience.

What’s more, now is a great time to bag a bargain in their Pre-Christmas sale.

Here are my top ten favourite gift ideas from Cleverstuff this Christmas:

Jolene enjoys writing, sharing and connecting with other like-minded women online – it also gives her the perfect excuse to ignore Mount-Washmore until it threatens to bury her family in an avalanche of Skylander T-shirts and Frozen Pyjama pants. (No one ever knows where the matching top is!) Likes: Reading, cooking, sketching, dancing (preferably with a Sav Blanc in one hand), social media, and sitting down on a toilet seat that one of her children hasn’t dripped, splashed or sprayed on. Dislikes: Writing pretentious crap about herself in online bio’s and refereeing arguments amongst her offspring.
