For that build-it-yourself kind of kid—this tin can robot kit ($18.99 at the Maryland Science Center) will not only encourage your children to recycle, but also teach them the scientific fundamentals of robotics (but honestly, they'll just think it's pretty darn neat). Visit the Science Store at the Maryland Science Center to have an educational family fun day while checking off some names from that holiday list—multitasking is always great (especially this time of year).
