The connectors for Duplo and Brio are amazing!
Kinetic sand
I’m getting my little girl dress up stuff for her birthday. So a rail with costumes and then a box with accessories like hats etc And a painting easel with paints, brushes etc. For Xmas I have a peppa pig wooden house and sets/figures. And doing dolls stuff for her. Would he like a wee play kitchen or even a dolls buggy? Art stuff? Play doh, trampoline, bike or scooter. What about a shared thing for the garden like play house. Or while young enough do some activity vouchers so days out or a wee holiday to look forward to
at Christmas I will have a 3 year old and 18 month old. We are doing a joint gift of superspace tiles - I know a bit old for our youngest but it will grow with them. My parents are getting them matching scooters with a basket and bell (2 girls and argue over everything already 🤦🏼♀️) Other smaller bits I have on the list are: hungry hippos/kerplunk game, a umbrella, Wooden birthday cake, hobbycraft cardboard drawing house, fluffy onsie (great for after swimming) Im finding it harder for our youngest than oldest as have lots of age appropriate toys for her already
I also have a nearly 3 and a one year old boy so i understand😂 I find it hard as a lot of toys marketed towards 3 year olds, my 1 year old will just put it all in their mouth🥲 They love their play kitchen so I will be getting some more items for them to play with and a little hoover as he loves to help me clean. My oldest has loved exploring nature during our walks so I want to get him a little nature kit, things like binoculars/ magnifying glasses.
Have they summer toys for the garden. We’re getting swing and slide set
I already plan on getting a play kitchen, and a bike with stabilisers on it for the 3 year old. We haven't got our own permanent garden etc yet so I can't buy anything big like a play house, slide etc until we have somewhere to put it
Magnetic tiles are super. Small world play figurines.
