Best Architectural Gift Ideas for Kids
We have 10 shopping days left until Christmas. I have been looking for some design related gifts for my kids. You see, both my husband and I are in the Architectural profession, so naturally our children are exposed to this fascinating field that provides endless opportunities for creativity. Our flair for Architectural design has rubbed off on them a little. Our five-year-old daughter has decided she wants to be an artist when she grows up and our two-year-old son has an affinity for building blocks, the best part of which is. . .demolition!
Here are a few items that ended up on my. . .I mean, their. . .Christmas wish lists:
