Over the years, I’ve done a lot of shopping (and buying)–looking for the perfect learning tools for my kids. I bet you, too, care about the gifts you give your children. You want to spend your budget wisely, finding gifts to delight your kids while still sneaking in some learning.
Learning Tools for Kids
I’ve put together a fun list of learning tools for kids for you. Because Thinking Kids covers Christian books for children, I’m including some great books too!
I love to combine educational books, learning toys, and learning tools to make fun read and play kits when I give my kids gifts. The learning tools are separated by subject to help you find just what you’re looking for.
You’ll find learning tools and books in a number of categories: Bible, history, science, geography, art, language arts, math, technology, and household skills.

Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible
You want your kids to learn and love the Bible.
You want to teach the Bible…
As parents, we deeply desire the best for our kids. We look for the right schools, we make them eat right and exercise, and we get them involved in extracurricular activities. We take our job as parents seriously.
But are we also putting our time and energy into
teaching them the Bible? Giving them the life-changing, soul-nourishing words of Scripture is not only doable, it’s an essential part of parenting kids for Jesus. And the good news is, studying God’s Word as a family doesn’t have to be difficult!
2 Timothy 2:15, ESV, says:
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
Our job, as parents who love Jesus, is to help our kids become approved workers, unashamed and rightly handling the word of truth.
The good news? Teaching the Bible isn’t hard. Your family can learn the Bible together.
…and you can!
A Crash Course in Teaching the Bible to Your Kids
Danika Cooley’s book, Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible, will give you the tools and confidence to study the Bible as a family. It will help you identify and overcome your objections and fears, give you a crash course in what the Bible is all about and how to teach it, and provide the guidance you need to set up a family Bible study habit.
You will finish this book feeling encouraged and empowered to initiate and strengthen your child’s relationship with the Lord through His Word.
Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible will equip you with everything you need to know to teach the Bible to your kids!

Love the list, thank you.
Thank you for this list !! So helpful 🙂
This would be a blessing for our family… oh my gosh I would be incredibly grateful. My husband’s pay got cut a few months back and recently our mortgage payment shot up an extra $250 a month. My daughter, Chloe’s, 8th birthday is December 18th and her emoji birthday party is the 17th. I honestly have no idea where the funds are coming from to host her bday party but I have to make it happen. I would also like to get her some educational gifts. She really wants a microscope, some book, and a keyboard this year. Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity to win. I would also be able to get my family some gifts this year if I won this prize. Right now it’s looking like the worst holiday ever. This would completely turn it all around for us. Thank you!
We would love to win the giveaway!! My husband has recently quit his job of the last ten years and it looks a little bit scary…. we would most likely use the money to buy christmas gifts for the children as well as add to our homeschool library. Thanks for providing such an opportunity.
Winning the $500 will really help my family. We have really old cars, and the $500 would go towards parts we can order online to repair our vehicle. Thanks for the chance!
This would be so awesome! We’d use it for swimming lessons for our kids!
My family would love to have many of these learning tools for our home school! Thanks for the chance to win $500!
This would be such a blessing to our family. I am always wanting to buy something fun for the kids to do during school, but because of money being tight I usually do not splurge. This would make that possible. Thank you.
I love the ‘Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers’ and all the books by Simonetta Carr! 😀There’s also so many great ideas that each of my kids would love in here!
Winning this would be a blessing for my family because due to a new job with a big pay cut money is tight for school related items. Thank you so much for this giveaway !
This would allow us to make a couple of large purchases that for our daughters that might not occur otherwise.
We would be able to bless someone close to our family that is in need this Christmas.
Would love to win this and buy some books from here 🙂 thanks for the giveaway!
I can think of several reasons that winning this giveaway would bless us (my dh is disabled & our income went from comfortable to almost nonexistent more than 10 years ago) but if I won, the money would go toward dental work for our son who broke a tooth last week.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway 🙂
This year we have decided to not exchange/give gifts at all and instead focus on spending time together and making memories. So we are planning a family trip together. But since things do not always go according to plan… we have had to take our son to a special place to help with the issues he has with reading and it’s rather expensive but his education is first and more important. This would help us be able to do both.
Hope to win. thanks for the opportunity.
Winning this giveaway would enable us to bless our children as well as others in our lives who are in need :).
This would be such a beautiful blessing for our family. We have endured hard times and this would be a perfect christmas gift for my husband.

Thanks for the great list and the opportunity to win some Christmas cash! I’ve been looking for a list like this for a while now!
We are on a tight one income budget and this money would be such a blessing to help out with homeschool curriculum and learning materials for next year.
These are some great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Winner my would be a huge blessing to me because I am a single mom with very little income right now. If I won I would be able to get my truck fixed so I won’t have to worry about driving in the snow and cold and be able to get my boys a few Christmas presents and snow boots and coats.
This giveaway is a great idea. Right now there isn’t any extra money for Christmas so this would be a huge blessing to our family.
It would be a huge blessing to get educational games so both kids can learn,but have fun doing it. Both my kids are visual & hands on learners and my daughter wants”more fun in school”.

Spending for the holidays and birthdays has dropped significantly, as well as our charitable giving. We would love a little more wiggle room!

Also, the PayPal giveaways will truly bless 2 families. Our finances are tight and unexpected bills have made them even tighter. If we happen to be one of the chosen winners, the giveaway would help us bless our children with some necessities and creative gifts this year.
This od such a generous offer from you and your fellow partners, thank you for it! I’m sure winners will be very blessed. We are a one income family, so the money would help us in various areas, from winter shoes to some postponed dental work to some boost of our saving account.
Thank you for doing the giveaway! This would bless my family and my church family! I would use the money to purchases needed supplies for my homeschool kids. I would also buy some much needed supplies and treats for my sunday school class and my wednesday night class!

This would be a huge blessing to our family, as we currently getting ready to renovate several rooms in our house.
Wow! What a generous giveaway! Though the Lord always provides for our needs, such a gift would bless us to be able to get some more sophisticated science equipment that my husband has been looking into. And to finally replace our old (hand-me-down) laptop that is limping along.
This list looks great! I love the little people Nativity and the microscope 🙁
What a great list!! You just made my Christmas shopping soo much easier!! We just finished your Martin Luther Book and loved it!! Please write more!!

This would almost completely pay for Christmas!

Wow! All the learning tools are so cool! I feel that history is where I need the most help, but I love it all. I’d love to have some $to buy some of the learning tools for my kids
With me going back to school and almost everything in our house breaking down one by one ( including the car..) this would help a little with all the expenses.
it would bless my family because when you have 3 kids, you’re always looking for a way to build your family up with blessings. 🙂 and this year we want to share blessings with some special people in our lives!
I’m really loving this blog! It has so many great resources that make it easy to find informational and educational products…plus Amazon is my favorite way to shop, so I love the handy links! Thank you!

This giveaway would bless my family by enabling us to buy creative learning gifts for our children (whom we homeschool) as well as other family members! I LOVE some of the great things you have listed. I don’t have time to totally explore them right now….but plan to later tonight or tomorrow!!! You have some great ideas there! Thank you!
Our medical bills have been overwhelming this year. The $500 prize would really help us pay some of that off. I’m so glad you had this contest because I didn’t know you had so many awesome homeschool items, even some for my high schoolers. Thanks for your encouragement to us homeschool moms.
The giveaway would bless our family by making finances a little less tight
We would use the money to purchase Christmas presents for our kids with, as well as other household items that we need. Thank you so much for the privilege of entering this contest.
Such a great list!
Wow, what a great post of ideas.
Also, I love that it’s a giveaway that anyone outside the US can enter. As I live in Australia I am unable to enter most competitions because they are from the US and generally physical giveaways and I can’t enter.
So thanks for the opportunity to enter. 😀
Oh, I just wanted to add that winning this would be a blessing, because many good (digital) home ed/Christian living resources are in the US, so having the opportunity to win the money would be great, because I could purchases some fantastic resources without having to worry so much about the conversion rate. 🙂
This money would help get Christmas gifts for our 5 children….and could get some great homeschool reading for them. Always a struggle having good reading in our home library assortment. The library doesn’t always carry some of these titles…
I enjoyed perusing through your list. Great ideas!
So many great resources, and gift ideas! Thank you!

Thank you for the opportunity to win and thank you for Bible Road Trip! We love it!!!
This list is full of wonderful resources! thank you for the opportunity to win. It would be a real blessing to our family! I gave birth to our son at 26 weeks gestation this year, right after my husband lost his father suddenly. I had to leave my job to care for our son’s many medical needs. It’s been a rough year for our family.
Financially this has been a harder year so to win this would be great thing for us. I’d love to invest in some of these great products for the kids as a gift (but secretly for learning purposes).
Praise the Lord for resources that give our minds the opportunity to worship the God who gave us minds to create! May we be stretched for HIS GLORY! Thank you!!!
I’m in it to win it!!
This is a fantastic list. Great ideas for gifts that will help with learning and feel fun at the same time.
Our family would be blessed by this giveaway as unexpected medical bills have wiped out our savings we planned to use to pay for hubby’s school. Thanks for your generosity!
Great list! Winning would mean I could plan ahead and pick out wonderful things for our kids. Not last minute local shopping only. 🙂
Wonderful list! This would allow us to buy our homeschool books for next year, especially with a highschooler for the first time.
What a comprehensive list. Our school budget for 4 children is small; I always want to include more fun activities and games but often have to stick to the basics. Winning this wonderful gift would enable us to afford the extras on our school supply list!
Christmas with a little more buffer & including more people in our celebrations!
This would be such a blessing to our family as we are expecting our 3rd child soon after Christmas and just moved into a new home that needs some work done on it and funds are low.
$500 would bless our family so much, my husband has been unable to work for 2 years due to an injury and we were blessed with twins during that time bringing us up to 6 children. With $500 we would be able to get ready for next years homeschool.
Thank you for sharing. Such a great list of wonderful products and an awesome give away!
We’ve been going through a lean time for a little over a year, and winning this would be another way that God has provided in unexpected ways.

Wow! I m a homeschooler mum of 8 in Italy and this list is going to help me so much as I try to get always fun stuff. So many families are starting homeschooling here in Italy and they also like to learn english. Since I m part of a group that supports other homeschooling families I found this list a very cool way to get some material helping me with the process of supporting others. Thank you so so much for sharing!!!
I would like one of everything! Awesome list!
This would be such a blessing to our family as the medical bills this year have been massive for this one income family. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after many dr visits and learning to control it and let go of stress has been difficult. We would use it to make Christmas a bit more special for our kids who wonder why their mom is fatigued all the time.
This is a great list! Thank you for the generous giveaway!

This is an amazing list of resources and like so many homeschooling families, the $500 prize would bless us as we stretch our budget to provide for our children physically, spiritually, and academically.
This would bless my family plus we would also use it to bless someone else as well.
So excited to read “When Lightning Struck!: The Story of Martin Luther”. Thank you.
Wow that is a great list of resources. We are researching homeschooling for our 3 kids, so this information is just really great!
What a great list of ideas! I’m very excited about the $500 giveaway. How very generous!!
We have intentionally been cutting back at Christmas in order to bless others, have less stuff and save towards a vacation to the Creation Museum and Ark. This would help us accomplish more towards those goals.
Happy Thanksgiving! It is such a blessing to know others following a similar path.
We just arrived in America and just started homeschooling! We are slowly exploring the library and our new home in Cincinnati, and a $500 would enable to buy some resources and an annual pass to a museum/aquarium!
Any one of these items would be a blessing to me and my family.
Thank you for hosting the giveaway! We are trying to stretch the most out of every penny of our small Christmas budget this year to creatively bless our children and loved ones as we celebrate the Savior’s birth.
My husband is a pastor and we are homeschooling our daughter, who has learning disabilities. Due to our church salary, I am unable to purchase extras for our school, so winning this would be a huge blessing for Christmas and for our school.
Thank you for a great giveaway!
I love this list! So many products I didn’t know existed!
This giveaway would be amazing to win! It would allow us to provide christmas gifts for our 6 kiddos, debt free.
What a blessing it would be to be able to purchase books, games, and/or tools for creative learning, plus pay off a couple outstanding bills. ❤️
It would be such a blessing to have a little cash to help off-set the debt we have had to go into the last several months.
To win this would would be such a blessing. Our home flooded in 2016 and we are happy to be back in our house, we homeschool, and we are hoping to adopt pur sweet foster son soon. This money would really help with Christmas for our 4 kids and our daughter’s birthday on Dec 30!
This would be used to get caught up on bills and fix our bathroom, which is currently out of commission.
