These are great gift ideas! I love it! 🙂 I'd like to get that Vtech Innotab electronic for the kids.
Thank you for stopping by. I currently have a giveaway open for the Vtech Innotab.
I know a preschooler who would love a lot of these gifts too! Great choices!
Great list! Malone would love a few of these things!
Blocks and musical instruments are at the top of our list!
The Little People Wheelies looks like lots of fun. Of course being a very good great aunt I would probably go for the musical instruments—my niece would want to kill me-just like my friend did when I bought her son a xylophone many moons ago. She still reminds me of it!!
My youngest actually got the V-tech drum set last Christmas and it is one of his favorite toys. It isn’t as long as I thought it would be and it is educational too.
Can you believe the toys today vs. when the ones of the 70’s when I was growing up? My, my, my…I want some of this stuff so I can play with it!
Yes, I really want one of those tablets to play with. I agree the toys have changed over the years and there is some cool stuff on the toy shelves for them. 😉
Great gift ideas! I know little boys and girls would love to receive these for Christmas.
I hope that this guide is helpful for parents with toddlers. Thank you for visiting.
I am all about simplicity…It scares me- that 2 years old..have to have such toys- that will interact with them somehow. I would prefer simple blocks, sticks, paints and crayons…so they imagination and different ‘survival’ skills can develop at that age..
Patricia, I like a variety of toys for my youngest son to play with. I do love the pretend play ideas as well because it does enhance their creativity.
The VTech InnoTab is a slam dunk in the kid-friendly tech gift department. We had the opportunity to review the InnoTab last year and loved it! I would probably stay away from the musical instrument type gifts, only because while fun for kids, I know that they would drive parents out of their minds!
Wow, what a usrful tips? Thank you so much for sharing this my dear. This is the ideas what I’m looking for. Now I had a ideas for my three little angels.
I love the innova tablet for my two kids and the house toy for my daughter. Now I need to start to save a money for those toys.
