Top Gifts for Tweens
‘Tis the season for tweens to make expansive wish lists. I’ve compiled top gifts for tweens of the 2015 season, and a craft that kids are sure to love! Being a mom to a tween (or almost tween depending on who you ask) I know how hard it is to find gifts and seasonal crafts for this in between age. Not quite little kids, not yet teens, they hover somewhere in-between, but don’t worry, there are plenty of fun gifts and seasonal activities for this age range!
I’ve teamed up with my blogger friends to give you a 12 Days of Christmas Series hosted by EmmaOwl. Be sure to check out the link at the bottom of this post!
