The only thing more fun than shopping for myself is shopping for my toddler. Here are things we are loving and are on our Christmas list this year.
1. PLAY COUCH:
This is a hot ticket item this year and for good reason. It inspires hours of endless creative play. And bonus, it gets out their energy on wintery days. I can’t wait for Christmas to come and for our toddler to get his hands on his. I have done lots of research and we went with the Roo and You couch, the Joey. It has great reviews, stands up to forts, includes waterproof covers (as not an additional purchase), and has great add-ons.
2. HOT WHEELS:
These are by far our most played with toy right now. I love seeing his imagination as he builds cities and adventures for his cars.
3: PLAYDOUGH:
A great, creative hands-on activity!
4. WOODEN RAINBOW:
This toy is a 100% imaginative toy. Perfect to spark creativity.
5. STRIDER BIKE:
This was our big gift to our toddler one year and has been one of the best purchases we’ve ever made. It encourages outdoor time. He likes to bike ride with his friends out front. And it has made going on family walks easier because he loves to bring his bike. Watching him progress has been amazing!
6. PUZZLES:
We love puzzles in our house. We started small and have worked our way up to bigger puzzles. These Melissa and Doug ones are our favorite.
I think these are the most fun building tool! Great for fine motor skills, logic, creativity, and imagination.
8. ART SUPPLIES:
This is a great option for the kid who has everything because it’s a consumable product so even if they have it, they could use more. Get creative and include anything from markers to paint to pom poms to stickers. For the ultimate art gift, give this gift of an easel!
9. WOODEN TRAIN SET:
While this is an investment, it has been our most played-with toy this year. The wooden tracks are WAY easier than the plastic ones for the littles to manipulate and build tracks with. I love watching his imagination when he’s playing with his wooden tracks.
10. PARKING GARAGE:
Similar to the train set, little cars have been a big hit and inspire hours of play. Whether he’s in the garage or playing on his floor car mat his imagination is going wild. It’s also easy to add to the collection of matchbox cars either in stockings or as presents anytime.
11. BOOKS:
I couldn’t not include books. We try to encourage reading as much as possible and giving books can spark the excitement. A few of our favorites right now are The Very Cranky Bear, The Pout Pout Fish, and A Pizza My Heart.
12. YOTO
This is one of our big presents to our son this year and another hot ticket item. It’s a great way to engage them screen-free.
13. TODDLER CAMERA:
A toddler favorite every year!
14. RUBBLE AND CREW CRANE TOWER:
I think almost all toddlers go through a paw patrol phase and we’ve been in it for almost 2 years. The paw patrol toys have been a sure hit and the toys we come back to time and time again. Rubble and Crew is new to us and I have no doubt this tower will be a hit!
15. LEGO KIT:
Lego is a great gift for toddlers for many reasons. It can inspire hours of play and imagination. I think bulk Lego is great, but we have also been loving the Lego kits. My toddler can follow the step-by-step books completely on his own. It’s also fun when you can find themed ones like Paw Patrol or Cars to play into their interests. Our almost 4 year old plays with both Megablocks and regular lego.
Stocking Stuffers
And of course I couldn’t forget stocking stuffers! Stockings are one of my favorite parts of Christmas morning. I love looking for little trinkets and inexpensive things that I can fill the stocking with.
Pro Stocking Tip! When you grab things that have multiples (for example a playdough pack or a book collection) break it apart and wrap each item individually.
Here are some things I am grabbing this year…
Art Supplies
Toys
- Mini Flashlight
- Hot Wheels
- Books (my son LOVES these Paw Patrol books and you could easily take them out of the box and wrap them individually)
- Individual Playdough Pots
- Suction Spinner
- Bath Crayons
- Pop It
Practical Stuffers
Happy Christmas Shopping!
