Last Minute Gifts for Kids – Family Games:

Big Potato Games Sketchy Tales – Disney EditionThis Disney Game for kids game is all about silly drawings and ridiculous guesses. To start, each player takes a Disney Card and an Action Card. which they keep secret.

Decide which character you want to draw and which action you want them to perform. On the blank side of your backboard, sketch your Disney character performing their action. There’s only one rule: no words allowed.

Once everyone has finished their masterpieces, they pass them face down to the player on their left. Everyone looks at the new drawing in front of them, takes a blank Sketchy Card and clips it over the illustration.

They write down in words what the drawing was about, who was in it and what they were doing. Once you’ve done that, pass the boards to the left again. Read the new description before you all.  Now clip a fresh Sketchy Card over the words and draw what you’ve just read. Then pass it to the left.

Continue this sequence of drawing, passing, describing and passing, until your original backboards come back to you. Then Take it in turns to reveal the strange story that your Disney character went on by laying out your Sketchy Cards in order.

The owner of this story now picks their favorite drawing or written guess and awards a point to the player responsible. The game ends when a player collects two more points than the number of people playing.

I hope these are good starters for you! Again – you can’t go wrong with stuffies (as we call them), family games and baby toys. These are great items to gift to the kids in your life. What I love about stuffed animals is that you can never (let’s be honest!) have enough.

When it comes to family games, take it from me – PERFECT GIFT. We love games and adding to our collection because it’s just a great bonding thing to do. Even with teens, we still do family night! Make sure you keep this in mind when you’re thinking of last minute gifts for kids.

And for the babies? It’s always good to get toys and items that are interactive and they can actually touch, feel and play. I think it’s just a wonderful thing to gift because you can never have enough toys for babies that capture their attention (take it from a mom of 5!).
