Experiences outrank simple stuff any day of the week (or any time of the year). They tend to stick better than the latest toy trends, and they have more widespread, lasting benefits to a child. We’d like to humbly suggest that this year, you give your child something that really will keep on giving: philosophical dialogue.

Whether it’s mentally, emotionally or socially, we want our kids to be ready to make the most of their time on the world stage, and there’s no better (or more fun) way to do that then to engage them as wee philosophers.
