Hello, homeschool and gameschool moms and dads! Are you looking for the best educational stocking stuffers for your holiday season? Would you love to sneak in some learning? Are you a play-based learning fanatic? Well, you’ve come to the right place.
I don’t know about you guys, but I cannot stand those plastic stocking stuffers that take up space in my house and end up broken or lost in a matter of weeks.
As a school psychologist, book lover, and board game enthusiast, I am forever on the lookout for the best play-based educational resources and materials.
One of our all-time favorite stocking stuffers are these handy little pocket microscopes. We pack them on hikes all the time! Click here to read an article I wrote about how to explore your own backyard using these fantastic pocket microscopes!

Geography Stocking Stuffers:
We have two new geography favorites of late. The first is this dry-erase map of the United States. I don’t know about you guys, but I remember facts when I actually write them down.

Another favorite is this scratch-off map of the world:
This year, we added Universal Yums to our geography study and family routine. The kids are having an absolute blast traveling the world via their tastebuds! A friend suggested adding this scratch-off world map to our Universal Yums evening routine and it has taken our learning to the next level.
