It’s true that some people are hard to shop for, but when it comes to kids, I usually have the opposite problem. I have to narrow my list down to a few of the many great gifts ideas to help my kiddos explore the world.
I imagine little fingers unwrapping gifts, and then turning pages, or grasping crayons to color all the exciting places in the world in their new coloring books. I can almost hear little voices asking grandpa and grandma if they know why the the Tower of Pisa is leaning. And I just savor it, because I know the childhood hourglass is ticking.
To help us both, I created this gift guide for little world explorers. I divided the list into 4 main sections:
- Games
- Books
- Maps, Globes, Stickers, & Coloring Books
- Little Passports: a fun subscription plan to help kids explore the world

Fantastic list! I really like the look of the Passport to Culture game. I’m going to have a look to see if I can get it over here in the UK.
I hope it’s available in the UK Crystal. Thanks for checking out this list.
I love the look of the Brain Box! We have the inflatable globe and it’s a great, fun way to teach kids about geography when they ask the “where is ____” kind of questions.
Great list!
Hi Jill! I think the Brain Box looks fun too. And I hear you on the “where is….” questions. I used to think I’d remember the answers to lots of questions and now that my memory is not what it used to be, resources are the way to go. : )
That Passport To Culture Game looks like it would be super fun and educational. Thanks for the suggestion.
My daughter is super into learning about other cultures (this makes me a happy mommy!), and she would love this stuff, especially the books. Thanks for sharing these great ideas!
That is awesome that your daughter enjoys learning about other cultures. Keep encouraging her!!
