All these vary in how electronic they are, but all are sure to entertain your kids a great deal.
Board Games
Another category that is making a comeback in 2009 for Christmas gifts for children and everyone else is board games. The recessionary times led many toy manufacturers to make more board games this year. The results of their labor include the Giraffalaff Limbo Game, Bop It Game, Monopoly City Edition, Clue Secrets and Spies, and the Connect Four By Four. All these games offer kids a chance to play games most parents should be somewhat familiar with. However, don't be surprised to see many of these games tweaked with new technology. For example, Clue Secrets and Spies uses text messaging.
Stuffed Animals
