As a parent with an active kid, I’m constantly looking for something to wear him out without wearing me out. It’s much easier at bedtime when he’s tired, easier to homeschool when he doesn’t need to be up and moving, and easier to work when he wants to rest. So I hit up Amazon for some of their most active toys for active kids and built this gift guide. We owe a few of these toys and some of them are on our wishlist.

Kidzlane Floor Piano Mat for Kids and Toddlers
Music is a huge part of growing up for me. I loved playing the piano and trying to learn the guitar and flute. I believe kids need music but not all can handle the finesse of using a real instrument.
