Omano JuniorScope Microscope Science Kits for Kids
This is the HOT STEM gift for kids, ages 8 and up, this holiday season! The JuniorScope is a high-quality, easy-to-use microscope with precision glass optics, giving a crystal clear image of what is on the slide. It’s perfect for any budding scientist!
Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet
Benjamin received this for Christmas two years ago and he uses it nearly every day. There are so many awesome apps, games, and books available for kids but this can really be a gift for the entire family. I like that you can create multiple profiles. I’ve even got one for myself, that allows me to store books to read on the go. You don’t have to worry about slippery kid hands, with the child-proof case! Ours has been drop (and even thrown *real talk*) countless times, without a crack. Choose from yellow, pink, or blue.
Note: Be sure to get an additional SD card, so your little one never has to worry about space on the Kindle! We like this one.

![It’s a privilege to spend this time with him. 🌻
I’m reading this book, “Memory Making Mom”, and it’s helping change my outlook and my priorities. Nothing [in life] has changed, but my heart is changing. I’m more... available. Intentional. Grateful. I look forward to him being able to go back to school, eventually, because that’s what works for our family, but I also feel grateful for this time together. Though the days are long, these childhood years are so short. I want them to fill Benjamin’s heart (and mine) with beautiful memories to build on. 💗](https://www.lovejoleen.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
