Liberty friendly Christmas gifts for kids?
- Thread starter Reason
- Start date
Something small that set me up to be a libertarian from a young age was that I was taught that America was a "free country". If you put this in kids minds than it really protects them from becoming statists.

While most kids get or play the traditional Monopoly board game....
How about the (original) Anti-Monopoly board game? The original game's premise was to convert an existing monopolistic system based on the structure of the game board to a free enterprise system. (sadly the original game's premise was discontinued because it was conceptually too difficult for the average person to grasp and was revamped into a more traditional Monopoly-ish format involving monopolies vs. competitors.
You can't get more liberty-friendly than this:

The Animatrix (2003) comes to mind....(though it's PG-13).
An older movie that's liberty friendly is "Shenandoah" with Jimmy Stewart (1965)

The people in Hawai'i that put out "The Philosophy of Liberty" have some kids' materials geared for home schoolers. Also, if the 10 yr old is a good reader, Peter Schiff's book (or even the original version by his dad, Irwin) can be fun. Two of my study hall students always want to borrow my copy to read. And they're about 11-12 yrs old (7th grade).
My dealer says that an inexpensive way to get into coin collecting is to do a "type" collection. They can pick a year famous for something and get one of each type of coin minted that year.
One year, I gave my older niece an electronics educational set where she could learn all about electricity and wiring while setting up increasingly complex systems.
