8 Screen-Free Gifts Kids Age 2-8 Actually Want To Do.
The plastic toy is under the couch by February. The pajamas they colored themselves get worn until the sleeves are too short. That is the whole idea behind our Colorable Collection.

Why a colorable gift outlasts the rest of the pile
Helps reduce screen time on the days you need it most.
By the afternoon of the 25th there are more toys than floor. What's missing from that pile is something to do, and a colorable gift buys you twenty quiet minutes while they do it.
Most gifts for this age are finished when you hand them over. A colorable one is not. There is an hour of work in it before it becomes theirs, and that hour is why it doesn't get abandoned.
We are not going to tell you it replaces screen time forever. It doesn't. What it does is give you one quiet activity and something with their handwriting on it.
"I thought my kids would color my entire house - turns out this teaches them to ONLY color their pajamas! My 4 year old is obsessed!"

Pick their thing
Dinosaurs, mermaids, princesses, construction, rockets, Big Bro and Big Sis. The print does the work of knowing the kid.
Hand them markers
Fabric markers on the apparel, crayons on the paper goods.
It stays
No washing out, no fading. What they drew on Saturday is still there after a month of laundry.
Colorable Personalized Pillow Case — $38
Their name goes across the top in outline letters and they fill the whole thing in with fabric markers. It doesn't wash out, so the drawing they did in December is still there in the spring, on the thing they sleep on every night.

Colorable Personalized Tote Bag — $28
