Little House has had what some would call a cult following.
It made its debut as a book in 1931 and the same for the series that first aired in 1974.
Some are firmly book fans, some fans of the show and there are those that are in both camps.
I loved both and enjoyed comparing the differences and seeing what was repeated faithfully in the television series.
All these years later and they are both still popular, there is not much you can still say about that.
Even though pioneer life was hard there is an appeal in the simplicity and the hard work families had to put in to survive in those days.
The love and affection seemed so natural in the Ingalls family.
So for your pioneer loving pleasure here are 12 fabulous Little House on The Prairie Gift Ideas for you, the child, or family in your life who just can’t get enough of prairie life from inspired by gifts to toys, cook books, and wearable items.

You’ll love some of these ideas for the Little House on the Prairie enthusiasts in your life.
If they don’t already have it the first thing to put on your gift list is the entire The Little House Series. I poured over these stories as a child and even as an adult I will happily pick up a book and read it with just as much joy. They are a lovely gift for reading aloud or independent reading as well
Any little girl that loves to pretend to be Laura and Mary helping ma churn butter or gather vegetables from the garden would adore this Pioneer Girl Costume for dramatic play, theme day at co-op, or field trips to Walmart.
The Little House Cookbook is filled with recipes for mas cracklings, maple candy, and corn dodgers. Recipes from the whole series with wonderful background information and ideal for elementary aged and on up to adults
They may not be specifically little house themed but boys or girls will enjoy recreating the log cabin that the family lived in in the Big Woods or like the one that the Wilders occupied in Mansfield South Dakota. “Toys” like this are great for busy hands while reading aloud.
These outfits fit any 18” doll like American girl or even the less expensive Walmart and Target versions. Allowing them to turn their favorite doll into a beloved literary
character to play alongside of them8
Just like the ones Ma cut out for the girls along with clothes to dress them up in. This is a simple gift that is wonderful for playing quietly and using their imagination.
For an older child or adult this coloring book is filled with pretty images and quotes from the entire series of books that can be colored with colored pencils or gel pens-don’t forget to include something to color with as well.
I think this book is perfect for adult fans of the series and especially as a housewarming present for the woman who grew up loving these books. It also makes a fun coffee table book
Little House Hoodie- Something to show off their passion for pioneer days gone by with a modern twist, a cozy hoodie for cool days and nights. Although I am sure Nellie fans may disagree, specially in those later days of the show when she blossomed
This is a nostalgic but useful kitchen gift to recreate homemade churned butter with a much smaller footprint. I think this is a new and thoughtful spin on an old-fashioned idea for those who want to simplify but aren't quite ready to give up their electricity.
Chances are good if they are a fan of Little House, they adore the whole idea of heading west and this classic game is a great choice.It gives an idea of what it was like and how hard it is to travel in the settled east out towards the wilds of the mostly unexplored west.
Finally, this is more of if you liked Little House, you will love… type of recommendation. It is the story of a little girl and her family taking place shortly after Laura Ingalls Wilder's books were published and she treasures these books, especially as her family embarks on an adventure in Alaska to become pioneers as part of President Roosevelt's Palmer Colony project.
