Gift Idea for 8 and 9 year olds

November 23, 2015 by mybookboost

I have to credit my sister for thinking of a great gift idea last year for my 8-year old son.

Stocking Stuffer for Kids

A joke book.

Stocking Stuffer for Kids

He has really gotten a lot of use out of it and it’s a great way to develop reading fluency. It’d be a nice stocking stuffer or gift for kids ranging from ages 7-11, especially.

Some of the jokes in the book are unique and clever and do make you laugh out loud. Overall, the book has a good mix of regular jokes as well as a section of knock knock jokes.

Here’s an example of a joke from the book:

What are some other fun and educational stocking stuffers you are giving?

    I like giving fun journals with prompts. It is a fun way for kids to practice writing.

    I’ve given joke books in stockings when my kids were younger. 🙂 I loved going to Barnes and Noble and checking out all of their little books to give as stocking stuffers. Thanks for linking up with Literacy Musing Mondays!

    We have that same joke book; it’s so much fun! My boys are aged 9, 10 & 12 and they just love it.
