My kids love to laugh and to make me laugh. A day doesn’t go by that they aren’t doing something goofy or telling a knock-knock joke. They also love to learn and read. Take those two combinations and you have the perfect holiday gifts for kids from Uncle John’s who brought you the Bathroom Readers which I fondly remember buying my husband for a gift about ten years ago!
First launched in 2002, the Uncle John’s For Kids Only series is designed for young trivia fans, infomaniacs and reluctant readers. The latest installment in this series is TOTALLY QUACKED (ages 8+) — 288 pages packed with strange science, weird news, obscure history, odd sports, and the interesting origins of everyday things. Special to this edition: amazing animal quack-ups, history’s biggest quacks, ducky weather, fine feathered friends, quacky fashion, and things that are “Just Ducky” (which could mean really good or…soaking wet). It’s also perfectly sized to make an excellent stocking stuffer:).
And now, two MUST-HAVES for keeping hungry young diners from gnawing off the table legs at those extra long holiday meals…feed their brains with Uncle John’s Riddle Me Timbers! and Magic Cupcake Placemats (ages 6+). Each cleverly themed tear-off sheet in these 36-page placemat pads is filled with brain-building activities: a “Ship Shape” puzzler, a “Fairy Pie” maze, brainteasers, jokes, and weird facts, noodle-while-you-doodle activities and even Polly-Wanna-Doku and Wand-Doku (Sudoku with pictures!).
Buy Magic Cupcake Placemats, Riddle Me Timbers! Placemats, and Totally Quacked on Amazon!

My kid’s don’t have a fave joke! LOL We really don’t say a lot- I think my 7 year old’s is the repeating “knock knock,” and “orange” and “orange you glad I didn’t say banana!” we need to get çrackin’ on jokes in our house!
My kids favorite joke is why is 9 scared of 7 because 7 ate 9
Well this is for my kids and our entire family. When someone blows a stinky we always yell out loud TOUCH WOOD. Whoever gets to the wood last has to eat the stinky. That is like the worst ever thing to say to the boys. Especially the youngest one, since he will usually get to the wood last. Well when my husband was in an accident this summer he got hurt really bad and when I got a chance to see him awake after surgery, we joked about the stinkiness that he was making and how our youngest would be so upset to touch the wood last. I was able to bring a smile to his face even though he was half way out of it from the medicine and brain surgery 😀 TOUCH WOOD!
Lol! I’m glad he was able to laugh too. 🙂
my favorite silly thing and cute thing is when my little niece she’s me and she says hi uncle it is so adorable
