10 Best Educational Toys Under $25
Staying in a budget is so important! That’s why I’ve put this list of the 10 best educational toys UNDER $25! Some are individual toys while some are types of toys, so I hope you find it helpful as you do your Christmas shopping! I am using affiliate links so please read the full disclosure policy.
1. Cool Circuits or Cool Circuits Jr.
Have you seen this game? It’s super cool once you connect the circuit — the game lights up and plays a tune!
2. Science Kits
These are all under $12, so you can pick up two and stay in your $25 budget!
Magic Science Kit
Tasty Science Kit
Crime Catchers Science Kit
My First Mind Blowing Science Kit
Lip Balm Lab Kit
Ice Cream Science
Weather Station
Smithsonian Rock and Gem Kit
Bubble Gum Lab
Potato Clock
3. 7 Pack of Brain Teasers
These would make GREAT stocking stuffers! And they are only $12 for all of them! So you could still pick up a science kit or something else!
4. Mobi Math Game + Bananagrams
They are both tile games, one for math and one for reading/spelling. I’ll be honest, this one might go a TINY bit over budget. Mobi is $19.99 and Bananagrams is $12.95. If you really can’t go a few dollars over, just get one of the two games and you will still be on budget! 🙂
5. Snap Circuits Jr.
Learn all about electronics! This would be great for a tinkerer like my son. Go here to see even more gift ideas for a kid that loves to tinker.

8. True to Life Human X-rays
These are so neat! Take playing doctor up a notch! You can arrange the 18 pieces together to reproduce the entire body of a young adult 5 foot tall.
9. Cipher Wheel
Create awesome treasure hunts! With this easy to use but hard to decode cipher wheel!
10. 3D puzzles
