Christmas Toys

[blane12]

How do you guys keep all your arts and crafts stuff organized? I feel like it just gets thrown together and gets all disorganized.

I want to Get B some fun things to work on his fine motor skills too. C will probably get some Mickey Mouse things as he's into that too. I got one of the new hatchimals pre ordered that an be for both of them.

Was thinking about getting the big paw patrol lookout tower as a joint gift, but idk if I want something that big in our house. My MIL got the hot wheel ultimate garage for the kids last year and it's so big.

The girls' sitter has the lookout tower and it's massive! They love it though!

Has anyone had something like this?  I want a ramp thing that H can run cars down, park cars, etc that won't easily fall apart but I can't find much that looks sturdy.  We have had two V-Tech Smart Wheels things but they both fall apart the second he touches them.

That looks cool
Who makes that

I randomly bought fingerlings because they were affordable and I heard they'd be hot. I figure if anything I'll give them as gifts to someone else?

Me too! Lol.

Ari wants lots of dumb crap he sees on tv like the snuggie tails blankets. Corinne only want what Ari wants. But she does seem a little obsessed with the new my little pony stuff.

I keep it in the bottom of our hutch near the kitchen.  I bought several metal shelves to hold paper and coloring books.  Then I also bought plastic things with drawers that pull out to store the crayons, markers, etc.  It is not perfect but better than the massive pile it was in before.

That Paw Patrol tower looks awesome, but so expensive!  Why is plastic $100?!

So we have decided, I think, that H’s big gift will be the Thomas coaster. Anyone have one like this? Is it good?

Our friend has a similar one and G and C both think it’s the best thing ever. So expect A to want to do it just as much!

That's good to know!  If figured A would want to ride it but wasn't sure if it'd hold her.

We have that coaster too and 3 years later it is still a lot of fun

Anyone have any fun ideas for craft/art based gifts? A is super into coloring and drawing now and really any crafts. I would prefer not a million small pieces, but I can't think of anything other than play doh and markers which we already have.

I have a loop loom on A’s list as well as this thing www.amazon.com/dp/B0736L9YFQ/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I145TNWOI4LXII&colid=2UKYJDTXUNW2K

So I randomly asked Macy what she's going to ask Santa for for Christmas bc I have gotten her a few things already that I found on sale...she says the Hello Dreamhouse. It is a talking Barbie Dreamhouse like Alexa for Barbie. It's $300! Now I need to figure out how to get her on something else before Christmas...she keeps saying I can't wait to see my hello Dreamhouse. Santa's on a budget lol

We do read, want, need, wear plus stocking stuffers. PJs & a Christmas book on Christmas Eve.
Wear: new swim stuff
Read: I already bought some books on sale awhile ago.

Magnatiles (Picasso) for Elliot so they both "have" a set, and because they're both always building with them and some extra pieces would be nice. I still need to think of a need for him.

We bought a desk for B's room so he has his own area to write, color, do Legos etc. He'll probably get that and some Legos, markers, paper, and other craft stuff for his desk.

The boys don’t know what they want yet. Eleanor wants this:

🙄 She’s been terrified of Santa the last few years, but is SURE she can ask him for this damn tiger this year. I guess I’ll be watching for a BF sale, lol.

we also do something you need, want, wear, read plus Santa gift
as of this week he says
Santa- puppets
Want- some crazy lego set from the lego catalog
Wear- probably a dress up outfit (hopefully i can get halloween sales)
need-? maybe new snow pants
read- ill pick up something

in this case Alex will get the same but duplo instead of lego
