Apocalyptic Beardsgaard Gift Guide: The Resistance

No school, no one cares if you’re covered in mud all day, you’re learning about knives and what you can eat right out of the ground. Sure, every so often we play scream tag and high stakes hide and seek, but other than that, life has been pretty neat lately.

Or that might be them in another timeline. For the next few months they’ll more likely be lovingly working your very last nerve in some objectively adorable ways. We hope this collection helps.

For the creative, curious, colorful ragamuffins and moppets  in your life, this collection is inspired by the littles, and designed to keep them flipping occupied for a minute:

1. Copernicus Toys: Crystal Growing Seasons • These are so cool – growing crystals in the colors of the four seasons on little trees. Science!
2. Huckleberry Toys: Pocket Knife • Gotta learn proper blade handling skills sometime, and with these pocket knives made just for small people, they’ll be shaving kindling bundles like pros in no time.
3. Pop Colors: Stranger Colors Pencils • Coloring and cleverness – because Friends Don’t Lilac.
4. Crayon Rocks: 8 Colors • Even more coloring with the most sensorially-appealing little rock shaped crayons you ever did hold.
