Those resilient, inquisitive kids are pretty darn great, but they can be hard to shop for! Here is a list of Advent Calendars that will keep your gritty kid engaged as they count down to Christmas!

I’ve never heard the term “Gritty Kid” until I came across the “Logic Workbook for Gritty Kids” series of puzzle and riddle books. My son absolutely fell in love with these. He finished two of them while on a 13-hour flight to Europe when he was 7 years old. I highly recommend this series! It is engaging and fun, and doesn’t require any screens or technology—just a pen or pencil!

We love these erasable pens for our child! Makes him feel like a grown-up, but they erase any mistakes and trial-and-error. We also invested in refillable mechanical pencils. These are so good, and you can refill the lead and the eraser, too!
