Over the next ten Mondays, I am going to introduce an exceptional gift idea your tween will love. Just in time for the holidays, I have reviewed numerous products to bring you the very best. All the products were tested by me and my children. They all run under $40 and are available online. Today's product wins the prize for creativity, imagination, and downright fun.
If you have ever had a special connection with an animal, you are going to love the Manadoob Secret Connection Kit. Based on the work of documentary filmmaker June Salin, her book, Manadoob, Mystery of the Moobia Stones, introduces several make-believe animals who are misfits in their own right. Wella, a sensitive young girl, gets invited into the secret world of the Manadoob by her most trusted companion, her dog Cruz. Her experiences take her on an extraordinary journey in which she learns her most valuable possession is the belief she has in herself.
The kit itself has 16 rune-like stones, a cloth pouch, and a guide book. For hours of endless imagination your 8+-year-old will love this kit (Retail $34.95)! There's even a Manadoob Web site to connect with the characters beyond the book itself.
