Never in a million years would I have guessed that my family would be addicted to a Pokemon app on the phone. My kids have never even seen the TV show (and neither have I) but we downloaded the game (Pokemon Go!) to see what all the fuss was about and… we love it. Most electronic games tend to isolate individuals but we have found that our family has bonded over hunting for Pokemon. We have visited many parks and attractions in our city and have walked more than usual! My 6-year old son will talk your ear off about Pokemon Go! if you will let him. I have never seen him so passionate about something, lol. I am thinking we might have to dress up as Pokemon for Halloween, haha!
Thinking ahead to back-to-school shopping, birthday gifts, and holidays, I already have some Pokemon-related gift ideas for my kids. I added some of these things to my Amazon Store. Take a peek if you also have a Pokemon fanatic in your life! Here are some of the items I’m considering purchasing:
Pokemon Colored Pencils, 24-Pack
We have some other colored pencils by Showa Note and they are very high-quality (much better than the generic kinds you find in the stores here!). They come in a durable tin container.
Pokemon Furikake (rice seasoning)
My kids LOVE furikake on their rice. I love these individual-sized packs. They’re perfect for including in bento lunches.
I use these every year for labeling all my kids’ back-to-school supplies. They’re great for pencil boxes, water bottles, notebooks, etc.
This game will teach children hantai-kotoba (opposites), in Japanese. Looks cute! I need all the help I can get in the teaching-vocabulary department.
Pokemon Chopsticks-Spoon-Fork Set
I love these things. They are the perfect size for little kids. No more using disposable utensils for lunch boxes! And at just $5, a great price.
Pokemon Deluxe Essential Handbook
I know my son would eat this book right up.
Pokemon Japanese-Style Pencil Box
I loved these pencil boxes when I was little. They have a magnetic closure and hold pencils, erasers, etc securely inside.
Just cute for your Pokemon-lover!
Lots MORE Pokemon gift ideas at my store!

Thank you for sharing! I think I will look for those opposites flash cards the next time I’m at the pokemon store. 🙂
