Secret Message Decoder Makes a Great Gift for Kids

This post may contain affiliate links.

I love how secret messages and codes get my kids writing! Maybe not paragraphs but the important thing is they are having fun and writing.

Which is why I fell in love with this wooden secret decoder disk from The Wooden Toy Shop on Etsy. We’ve been having tons of family fun laughs writing each other weird and silly notes — as you can see below.

This secret decoder disk uses a Caesar Cipher to encrypt and decrypt your secret messages which is the same technique Julias Caesar used to send important messages to his armies. Pretty neat, huh?
