Thanks for dropping by for Part 2: 1-2 year olds!
This is such a fun age and there are some so many great items for this age category it can be a little overwhelming.. here as a momma, are my top 10!
Starting off, this age group is all about exploration and learning new skills and being involved in everything!!
My first item would be an annual pass or monthly pass to somewhere new and exciting like a science centre, the one in Calgary has an amazing tot-zone. A local zoo, swimming classes, gymboree...whatever will get them into new environments learning and socializing.
Another top choice for this age group are items like a great step stool, this can serve as a chair or more-but you better believe that by year 2, it will be used daily from hand washing to helping momma!
There are some great ones out there at many price points.
An activity tree like this Tree top adventure from Manhattan toys, is a bit of a splurge, but it does so much your babe will be enjoying it for longer than you think...
Interactive books with music and lights are a huge hit at this age and get littles interested in reading! These are great for car rides and in mommas purse- you can never have enough, this is a great go to gift!
Practical gifts are always welcomed by parents- sure it might not be as fun for baby- but practicality has its silver lining too.. a few toys that would fit into that category are fresh and new sippy cups- soon baby will be onto the next step in its foody career so new cups with straws or push and release tops are great for baby to learn new skills..
Another one that can always be used is bath toys, simple but they get gross so quick - its nice to have new and fresh ones at the ready.
Activity and exploration toys like a sand/water table or small ball bit are great fun and offer hours of baby-tainment! These can be found at most local toy stores or of course, amazon.
From personal experience, shopping carts are like crack for littles, so metal, plastic, wood or whatever- its going to be loved!
Same goes for a sneaky place to hide out, wind down, play, read, snuggle... there are lots of options for tent like play structures so just keep in mind child's interests and space when you are choosing something like this..
Hope you enjoyed Part 2- Final part 3 will be up later this week! Happy shopping!!!!
