Beverly Mitchell of Seventh Heaven fame gave herself this challenge… “Every year we try to find gifts that challenge their mind, they expand their knowledge. Toys that use to create, to learn, to engage. That is why I am such a big fan of Learning Resources, it is such a great website that has toys for every kind of kid, at every age. Whether your kids is a tinkerer, or a scientist, a baker, mathematician, or spelling champ, they have toys for your kid.Coding Critters Rumble & Bumble

Holly Bennett, better known as the creator of the @bennetttriplets, had this to say about gifting to multiples (and her guidance applies to any siblings!):
“The truth is that while my triplets have similarities, they are also very different. One of my sons is currently very scientific-minded. He was just toddling when he first fixated and really understood how magnets work. My daughter has always been into helping me in the kitchen, never missing a chance to bake up something delicious. My other son has such diverse interests, but he is currently fixated on his school work and is constantly building and constructing things, so I see the little engineer in him coming out.”
