Toddler toys?




love_my_fa


What is a good thing to buy for a 21m old? I'm always looking for something that will hold her attention because she's at home all day (except when I take her to the park) and she gets bored. She already has legos, trains, a kitchen, books, the usual. I'm thinking either a play tent or a little people playset. Any ideas?


Answer
My daugher is 21 months old (and I have a 3-year-old daughter as well). My older daughter LOVED her Little People at that age and still does. My older daughter has/had a much greater attention span than my younger daughter, so she tends to play with things for longer periods and always has.

Some other things that my daughters like(d) to play at that age...

- Wooden puzzles
- Reading books
- Dancing to music
- Toy kitchen
- Musical instruments (harmonica, drum, tambourine, bells, xylophone, flutophone, etc.)
- Dolls
- Play-doh
- Crayons
- Paint with water
- Bubbles
- Helping with easy housework -- mopping floor, dusting
- Pretending to be a dog/cat/elephant/etc.
- Drawing with chalk on the sidewalk
- Chasing me or her sister around the house
- Pulling a toy for the cats to chase

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I can think of off-hand. Hope it gives you a few more ideas!

Toddler toys for Christmas?

Looking for ideas for my two year old son for Christmas. I feel like he has everything
in the store. 10 points most informative



Answer
Honestly, at that age they are more excited about opening and tearing the wrapping paper than anything else. What I did was saved things he needed anyway like new clothes, socks, pull ups, bubble bath, etc. and wrapped it. I also bought him things like art supplies, a kids apron, and good things that occupy his time. I also got kind of lucky that my sons birthday is in November, we stash away some of the toys from his birthday and re-wrap them for Christmas. I am pretty sure this is the last year we can do this. But honestly, there are very few toys out there that are truly good for a 2 year olds development.
