Toddler Gift Ideas - Train Table
I know a few friends getting their sons TRAIN Tables this year and I am one of them. I think the investment is worth all the free time it will allow me. :) I will post a pic when we put it together. I know there's a Thomas the Train and Pottery Barn one. There's usually some on Craigslist.com as well.
Toddler Gift Idea - Easel from Ikea
This is a GREAT gift and is only $14.99 at Ikea. My son already has this and LOVES it. One side is a chalkboard and the other is a dry erase or you can buy paper for it at Ikea as well. (appr $5)
This is a MUST for hours of fun and great gift for under the tree with a BOW or Hanakah gift. Your kid will love it!! All my friends have it. :)
**You can buy paints and brushes at Lakeshore or Michaels.
Toddler Gift Idea - Ice Cream Parlor Set by Melissa and Doug
Another great gift idea. My son can play with this at Lakeshore for hours. The scoop has a magnet to pick up all the flavors and place them on the cone. So many things they can learn with this. LOVE IT!!!
This retails for $29.99.
*If you have reviews for any of these toys, please comment below. :)
Toddler GIft Idea - Pizza Party by Melissa and Doug
I had to share this with other parents before the holidays. This Pizza Party, I have heard from SEVERAL people, is such a great gift. The kids seem to LOVE IT and play with it for more than 10 minutes. Of course you can get it at Lakeshore for full retail price or the book stores. I just found one at Ross for $15. I AM SO HAPPY!!!
