It’s the most wonderful time of the year; time for tinsel, mistletoe, christmas cookies, and eggnog. It’s also time to buy wonderful gifts for those you love the most. If you have homeschoolers this is a great time to buy some of those coveted educational items that make awesome Christmas gifts for homeschool kids the whole family will love.
Ya’ll, I can’t count how many times have my kids gotten a toy only to play with it for a few days, then it’s thrown in the toy box not to be seen again until we clean out the toys in the spring. It’s not their fault. That’s just in their nature. I need to be more diligent in my choice of gifts and what I suggest family buys for them.
Educational Christmas gifts for your homeschoolers are the gifts that keep on giving until they’re completely wore out. I’m looking into this method this year and as I do I’m passing it on to you.
As I did my research, I checked the reviews on each product and considered the price. I never recommend something I wouldn’t buy myself. I also decided that these need to be something the whole family will love or benefit from and not just annoy.
Educational Christmas Gifts
Audiobooks and Book Set Gifts
Our kids love audiobooks and yours will too. I bought each of our kids their own portable cd player with a set of audio cds a couple of years back and they still use them to this day. It was money well spent.
You can get great deals on Amazon audiobooks without the Audible Subscription. To find out read Amazon Audiobooks: How to get them without a subscription. I’ve also got a great list of audiobooks on this post.

Thanks. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. That’s something I’ve considered asking for the kids instead of toys and more stuff. That would be a great christmas gift for homeschoolers.
