Build Your Own Christmas Gifts For Kids

With just a few shopping days left before Christmas

I wanted to share some present ideas for children who like to build things

We were recently sent a Build Your Own Marble Run to review

From BYO Kits

And that is what has inspires this collection of gift ideas

BYO Kits are great fun and they are super eco friendly

As they are all made from paper and cardboard

Their range of kits is amazing

They have a BYO Telescope, BYO Microscope, and a BYO Plane Launcher

All alongside the Marble Run Kit that we have recently tested

You can read our review below

We think this would be a super gift idea

As an alternative to Lego

For children who like to build

Families who like to follow instructions to create things together

Do have a read of our review

Here are some other build your own kits that have caught our eye

BUILD YOUR OWN HISTORY MUSEUM

I have bought this for William for Christmas

He loves history and I think that he will enjoy

Building and researching the historical artefacts

Among the treasures to display are an Egyptian sarcophagus

A Greek temple and a Chinese Terracotta Army

It looks fun, interactive and with lots of facts to discover

MY MINIATURE LIBRARY

This I have bought for Esther for Christmas

She loves making little books and these are definitely little

A complete collection of tiny books that you can really read!

With stories ranging from illustrated fairytales

To well-loved nonsense rhymes and books of butterflies, birds and flowers

Plus blank books that Esther can write in herself

Everything you need to make a little library of beautifully illustrated books

I cannot wait to see how her library comes together

And … I have bought Bea the fairy library which looks just as exciting!

Both sets are illustrated by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini

The incredible illustrator of Where Snow Angels Go

So I know that they are going to be beautiful

HARRY POTTER – DIAGON ALLEY 3D PUZZLE

This looks amazing!

I wish I had known about this sooner

As Esther would absolutely adore this

Containing intricately detailed 3D puzzles of four of the most famous buildings in Diagon Alley

This impressive set makes the perfect gift

For any fan wishing to create their own wizarding world

This 4-in-1 3D Puzzle Set features

Fred and George Weasley’s famous Joke Shop, Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes

Olivanders Wand Shop

Quality Quidditch Supplies store and the famous Gringotts Bank

This would be such fun to build together as a family

And I think Esther would play with it for hours

And display it proudly in her bedroom

A fab gift idea for young witches and wizards

MECHANICAL TREASURE BOX

This amazing treasure box is a project to build

With 123 wooden pieces

Work your way through the process to slot everything together

Everything you need to complete the project is included and once built

You can set your own codes to keep your deepest secrets inside the treasure box

This looks like a great festive challenge for older children

PRESS OUT PAPER TOWN

This is lovely from Usborne Books

And I have bought it for Esther for Christmas

She loves making small worlds and street scenes

This will be perfect for her love of crafting and imaginative play

MAKE AND PLAY SAFARI

I have bought Edie a few of these books for Christmas

You press out the characters

They are made of thick sturdy cardboard

And are perfect for imaginative play

I know Edie is going to love acting out scenes with these creatures

We have the Nativity book which the children build and play with through advent

A great way to let Edie make and play alongside her older siblings

KIDZLABS ROBOTIC HAND

I have bought this for William this Christmas

His advent calendar this year

Was building a retro radio from scratch

I think that he will enjoy this and I am hoping it will make him

Want to create more designs of his own using the knowledge and skills he learns

THE BRITISH WOODLAND DEN KIT

My mum has bought William a den kit for Christmas

And my aunty has bought one for the girls to share

Build Your Own does not have to be inside

Why not head out into the wild and build your own shelter?

This kit provides the tools to create your very own shelter amongst the trees

With a beautifully illustrated identification and fact sheet

To help expand your knowledge of our native, living heritage

Plus the equipment you need to grow your own sapling

I love everything about The Den Kit Company

And lots of their products will be arriving in our house this Christmas

Ready for a new year filled with adventure

Even if it is only in our back garden for a while

I hope that this gift guide has been helpful

What will you and yours be building this Christmas?

We would love to know x
