What will your kids get for Christmas this year? Consider some educational gifts
that are (dare I say it) quite fun.
I love how Sonlight Consultant Jill encourages parents to give tools, not toys. As she
says, tools encourage imagination, development and productive activity. Toys tend
to simply entertain. I’ve compiled a short list of inspiring gifts (mainly “tools”) to
consider for your children, nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends.
Many of these gifts are discounted now in our special Christmas sale; but for any
gift, just click the sonlight.com beside the picture to learn more and order.
God bless you and your family in this season,
Tim Heil

“Most kids would turn on
cartoons while eating breakfast. Nope, not my 7-yearold son. He pours a bowl of
cereal and starts up MathTacular. Thanks for making
math fun!” —Hoffies5
For more serious scientific inquiry,
your homeschool could use a quality
microscope. This is not a toy—it’s a
legitimate scientific tool that regularly
stuns our customers with how easy it is
to use ... and how much better it is than
cheap microscopes. Ages 8–18
($230 $199: sonlight.com)
“We are delighted with this
microscope. We bought it for
our daughter who has a strong
interest in microbiology. She is
thrilled, and I am very pleased
with the quality of the instrument. The mechanical stage is
especially great at this price.
Thank you Sonlight!”
