Our Favourite STEM toys, games, and tech for families for the holidays

We are coming down to the wire with holiday gifts—especially since we're mostly shopping online these days. To avoid delays and disapointments get hustling! This is not the year to be last minute shopping on Christmas Eve. Over the past few months we've explored some fun items to add to our gift guide. Of course if we can double up learning AND fun? We can make proudly high-five ourselves and claim the title of 'Parent of the Year'. STEM toys (or STEAM) for kids still continue to wow us and of course, our eyes turn to what games are out there. Here are some of our favourite gift ideas this holiday season from STEM toys, games and tech for families.

Battle bedtime fears with Boon Glo smart night light

Want to make bedtime a bit more fun and less scary for the kiddies? Here’s a good Christmas stocking stuffer. The Boon Glo light is a three-pronged night light that can be taken out of its base and can change colors. The phosphorescent spheres do not get hot and do not contain electronics, so your little child can hold the lights in their hands. After 30 minutes, the lights from the ball will eventually fade, so it won’t keep the kids up at night. Amazon.ca is selling the Boon Glo for $69.99 and it will be available at Toys ‘R Us and Sears as well.
