Visit our Sibling Rivalry Help Center for more sibling resources.
I’m always looking for gifts for siblings that will help foster a loving relationship. I love practical gifts that do much more than add to the giant pile of clutter we find in our kids’ rooms. I want adventure, exploration, and meaning.
Gifts should add to kids lives …
not take away or overstuff them!
The best gifts educate…
stimulate their minds…
and grow them into amazing adults.
THE BEST GIFTS COMPEL, INSPIRE, AND CULTIVATE.
So when it comes to your children, why not buy gifts for siblings that will encourage and cultivate a relationship full of brother and sister love? Let’s face it, conquering sibling fighting can be a daunting task and as parents, we need all of the tools we can get. Gifts are a great way to help!
Here are some of my favorite gifts for siblings!
Gifts for Siblings: Ideas that Grow Sibling Relationships
#1 Sibling Challenge Journal
The Sibling Challenge Journal is a favorite of our family! The goal of this journal is to help kids apply the things they are learning about sibling relationships.
There are 5 sections: My Job as a Sibling, Sibling Scripture, Journaling pages to help kids process their struggles, the Sibling Challenge section and the Resource pages.
Once kids have reviewed their job as a sibling, they are challenged each week to commit acts of kindness toward their siblings. The Sibling Challenge section has 36 weekly checklists chocked full of ideas. It also gives kids space to journal about the week.
You’ll love both the teaching and accountability of this super fun gift!
#2 Sibling Bible Study
By far our most beloved product, My Brother’s Keeper is a 4-week in-depth Bible study on the subject of sibling relationships. We explore the stories of 10 different siblings from the Bible, some with beautiful stories and some with ugly ones. Through the stories of these siblings and the pages of Scripture, your children will learn God’s true purpose for siblings and families, the issues that siblings face, the responsibilities that they have as siblings, and practical tools for resolving the inevitable conflicts.
My Brother’s Keeper is part of our Relationships Bible Study Series which contains 5 Bible studies on the various relationships in our kids’ lives, including siblings! God has intentionally placed your kids in the life they have, including their family and friends. Through studying God’s Word, your kids will learn God’s plan for how they view and treat others as well as how to build solid relationships that bring them closer to Christ.
#3 Books of the Bible Game
If your kids enjoy playing card games, they will LOVE our Books of the Bible Game. With this specially designed deck of cards, your kids will have the opportunity to play not 1, but 13 different games and learn about the Bible while they do!
This deck of cards is intentionally designed with one card for every book of the Bible. Each card includes fun facts that help your kids understand the genre, time period, main people, and important dates in each book. With this game, your kids can build sibling camaraderie AND Bible knowledge while having fun together!
#4 Sibling Challenge Game
The Sibling Challenge Game is the perfect tool to help your kids learn to love their siblings and intentionally build healthy relationships.
We all know sibling relationships are hard. Anytime we live closely with someone our own desires, opinions, and ideas will cause friction in that relationship.
But we can’t give up! With God’s help, we can use tools like this one to help us love well. This game will serve as a tool to help challenge your kids to serve, love, give, encourage, share, and more.
Coupled with the sibling Bible study, the sibling challenge journal, and the sibling conflict chart, this makes a super fun gift. Of course, you create your own sibling bundle here to help you save money, too!
#5 Walkie-Talkies
If you have younger kids, Walkie-Talkies are the perfect gifts for siblings! Kids love to communicate with one another from another room. This set has great reviews raving about their reception and durability, making it the perfect pair.
Walkie-Talkies are a super fun way to foster good communication between siblings when they don’t even realize you’re doing it!
#6 Sibling Necklaces
When I saw these sibling necklaces I was instantly smitten. What girl doesn’t love a necklace she can share with someone she loves? I remember adoring these as a little girl and sharing them with many friends. While friends are important, our siblings should be at the top of the list.
Have more or less than 3 kids? You’ll also find sibling bracelets and necklaces in different combinations! The more you send the message of how important the sibling relationship is, the more your kids will begin to adopt it. I think jewelry is a beautiful way to do that!
#7 Beat the Parents board game
When I first saw this game I was reminded of the time I took the kids for our first ever laser tag game. As soon as the lights went down, it was 7 very long minutes of torture. I felt like I was under constant attack and couldn’t do anything to win. Every second my “shield was down” because someone else had hit me.
After the game was over the kids confessed to ganging up on me in an effort to beat me. They had been planning it for days. It was a good laugh and one for the memory books for sure. Although my super competitive spirit was wounded, I was proud of their teamwork and camaraderie.
Beat the Parents promises that same experience. Kids have no choice but to find a way to get along so they can beat their parents. It’s a win-win for everyone. Of course, any board game is a great gift for siblings, but this one is a favorite.
#8 Play Fort
My fondest memory of my sister is playing school bus. She would find all of the chairs in the house and line them up in rows so we could all ride. Sitting next to a teddy bear, I’d “bounce” along as she pressed and punched the buttons on her cardboard box bus.
There’s just something about building things and exploring with your imagination that bonds siblings together. That’s what I love about the Play Fort. You get both of those in a kit. (It’s like pressing the easy button, but still getting the same benefits!)
Imagine the places your kiddos will explore together in this ever-changing fort set-up!
