Month of the Military Child: 11 Cute Gifts Military Kids Will Love

April is Month of the Military Child, and in order to show the special kids in our lives how awesome, strong, and resilient they are we have a list of gifts that military kids will love. Some are for the littlest warriors and some are for the big kids, but either way we wanted to showcase some special military spouse-, veteran-, and civilian owned companies that want to honor military kids in a special way (and psst- there may be some discount codes, too!)

Gifts for Military Babies

TushBaby

Month Of The Military Child: 11 Cute Gifts Military Kids Will Love

TushBaby is a new kind of toddler carrier. Say goodbye to complicated straps, bulky carriers, and squirmy toddlers that want “uppies” and then “down” and then “uppies” again. TushBaby gives your little one the perfect little seat that helps to save your arms and hips from carrying them for long periods of time. It is also easy to let them climb up and down without completely unbuckling and re-wrapping traditional baby carriers. And when you’re out an about, TushBaby acts as a diaper bag, too- it has several pockets inside and out that carry your phone, diapers, wipes, snacks, and more. It comes in black, grey, and camo but we are a bit partial to the camo.

Busy Baby Mat

Month Of The Military Child: 11 Cute Gifts Military Kids Will Love

Created by a ten-year Army veteran and mom, this unique baby mat ensures that no more plates end up on the floor during meal time, and that toy throwing is kept to a minimum. It is made of high-grade silicone and comes in spearmint or pewter and is easy to clean after each meal. It is great for PCS season – think about those restaurant tables or airplane seat trays – and helps to make sure your baby’s food is clean and safe. It also eliminates the awkward conversation with the stranger behind you when toys end up in their lap.

Older kids who don’t want to be in a booster, but still need one love the seat and the color options it comes in. The Bubblebum makes carpool and PCSing even easier!

Military kids are tough, resilient, and strong and they don’t even know it. Military life is all they have ever known, so to them this is just life. But we see how hard it can be and we know that this life isn’t easy. That’s why for all of April we are celebrating military kids everywhere, and these gifts are a simple way to say, “Hey, you’re pretty awesome.”
