Here’s a run down of the best Christmas gifts for 8-10 year olds
Christmas is just around the corner. With the wealth of toys and games to choose from, I thought I’d compile a list of the best Christmas gifts for 8-10 year olds this year.
The gifts cover all budgets as in such uncertain times, there is no need, and should be no pressure, for you to break the bank. While I’ve included links below, there is always the option of shopping for second hand gifts which is not only affordable, but also sustainable.
Whatever you decide, remember that Christmas is about family and love. It’s about sharing special times, sharing laughter and making memories. It’s not just about the gifts and certainly shouldn’t be about how much you spend.

Gnomes at Night: This is a unique take on a maze game. It’s fun for the whole family as you work together to escape the maze. Think of it as a really fun at-home escape room quest. Ages 6+ (although the younger ones will need extra help).

- THE MAZES: The maze paths are different on each side of the board. You may move your mover only along the paths on your side of the board. You cannot move your mover through a wall in the maze, but the player on the other side of the board CAN move your mover through walls. That's how you can help each other reach a treasure!
- TOYS THAT TEACH: Gnomes at Night is a great way to develop effective communication skills. Players race to identify the treasure as shown on the card to determine which side of the board that treasure is located on. Players work together maneuvering through the maze, sometimes you will be able to move easily toward the treasure, sometimes you will need to back track. Using descriptive language like left, right, up and down will help your teammate better assist you in collecting that treasure.
