My favorite part of Christmas gift giving (and receiving) are the stockings! All those sweet little gifts overflowing from foot-shaped sacks? What could be cuter!? And I love, absolutely LOVE the “hunt” to find adorable surprises to wrap up for everyone’s stocking! Fill the stockings with these exciting stocking stuffer ideas for kids!
Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Kids
OOLY Crafts and Art Supplies
I love the fresh take on art, drawing, and crafting that OOLY takes. With their collections of stickers, pens, markers, notebooks, and other art and drawing supplies, kids will be inspired for days! Stuff their stocking with adorable “kits” like Happy Packs. A pouch with stickers, sticky tabs, and a glitter wand pen! Perfect for the budding writer or artist! And OOLY has a variety of Happy Pack sets. They also make a great stand-alone gift idea.
Scented puzzle eraser packs are a hit for kids. Try Scented Unicorn Donuts or Icy Pops. The erasers come in a nifty giftable box, and kids can pull them apart and put them back together as they draw and play at the same time!
Scratch & Scribble Mini Packs fit nicely in the stocking, or for that car ride to family dinners! It’s a treat for kids to scratch away and discover the picture and colors underneath!
OOLY has tons more ideas for stocking stuffers that range from about $3-15 to fit any budget. Check out all their creative stocking stuffer picks!
TINY Toy Sets – little toys with BIG impact
I love anything in miniature. And so do kids! That’s why these tiny sets from Smart Lab Toys will delight your kiddos.
- TINY Robots! has 15 designs to build by mixing and matching arms, legs, wheels, and gears. Kids will learn about different types of robots, and the basics of mechanical engineering and robotics. The gearbox is transparent so kids can see their robot at work, and it doubles as a carry case!
- TINY Baking! includes miniature tools and recipes to make teeny edible treats! Yes, even the recipes are tiny to make just a small portion! Cooking also gives kids valuable science, measuring, and experimental skills.
- TINY Science! is a little working lab that includes precision instruments like a funnel, petri dish, flask and more. The diminutive lab cabinet is an adorable way to store on-the-go science!

Our family's stockings have become filled with trinkets of necessity. Here is where we get our new toothbrushes, deodorants, socks, pocket tissues, lip balm, and the like. Sometimes little kitchen gadgets show up as well. My sister and I have become used to our stockings like these and speaking for myself, I would miss them if they changed.
