So what's on your 2 yo's list?

[readyin07]

We have so many random toys from my older boys. I have bought DS2 some Paw Patrol stuff, but he needs a few more things to open. Anything you're looking forward to giving?

[Velar Fricative]

Yes, she too has so much from her big sister. Plus she has lots of aunts and uncles and grandparents who will get her stuff. She hasn't expressed wanting anything in particular so these are all our ideas:

1) Radio Flyer tricycle (she just started refusing her stroller and this has a push handle so we can use this instead)
2) Books
3) Frozen stuff (slippers, dolls, dress-up stuff, etc.)
4) Clothes and PJs

We also got both our girls each a Kids Kindle Fire in late October for a long car trip and told them it was an early Christmas present so we'll probably just stick them under the tree anyway too lol.

His big (exciting) toy to open is a Paw Patrol tower thing. Other smaller stuff includes a movie, books, playdoh trucks, 2 big floor puzzles of Thomas and a firetruck, magnetic train cars, and a LeapFrog learning toy.

Besides the hot dog and beer?

Blocks
Easel
Big boy bedding
Pillow
Elmo stuffed animal
Stickers
Wool socks
Trucks
Life jacket

Do you have Duplos? They have a new Duplo train set that is app-operated. You can make the train go forward/backward, turn on the lights, make a train sound, etc. Both my boys (5 and almost 2) love it!

Also - anything active. Our small jumpy house is one of the best toys I’ve ever gotten.

Green toy vehicles are amazing. My DS (3.5) still plays with his car carrier daily. He received it for a birthday present 1.5 years ago.

My almost 2 year old is getting Green Toys vehicles. This set was $10 when I got it, at $15 it's still reasonably priced: www.walmart.com/ip/Construction-Trucks-3-Vehicle-Gift-Set/54885303 I've seen a lot of good deals on different sites for Green Toys stuff. We love them because they're super durable.

I got DD a play kitchen and the IKEA easel - those are her favorite toys at daycare so I hope she’ll like them at home.

I also got her a bunch of books, and a Melissa and Doug shoe tying toy since she’s always poking at our shoes. And I scored some brand new Sesame Street dolls off FB Marketplace for a few bucks.

I’d like to get some new clothes for her, and MH said he will probably look for some things.

My sister got her play food for the kitchen, my mom got her a Radio Flyer wagon, and I’m sure they will give her lots more on Christmas Day. We’re visiting extended family this weekend and on 12/26 as well, so she’ll get a bunch of stuff from them, I’m sure.

[sunflower17]

She’ll be 2 in January so some maybe saves for birthday.
Bath books
Easel
Baby doll
Dora the Explorer stuff -books, backpack
Some small toy cars
Crayons and coloring books
A Melissa and Doug pretend cleaning set
Play food
Pretend makeup so she stops stealing my real stuff when I’m getting ready

[melsbels]

My 2.5 year old boys are getting the following:

Leapfrog ABC Smart House
Stack & Spin Gear Set
Design & Drill Robots
Books
Bath Toys
Melissa & Doug Vet Set

They’ll share all of the above but I did order two Little People airplanes since that’s what they said Santa should bring them lol

I’m most excited about the robots. They come apart and have toddler sized screw drivers to put them back together. They’re quite into “fixing” things these days, so it should be fun

DS is firstborn so ignore anything you already had from older kids, but here is what I know he is getting (or got last year/for his birthday and still loves) between us and grandparents.

Play kitchen
Step 2 slide
Magnetic easel w magnetic letters/numbers
Green toy farm set
Radio flyer wagon (much preferred to the stroller for around the neighborhood)
Vtech phone
Fisher price “tablet”
Mini tool bench
Little people toys (preferably ones that don’t make noise for my sanity)
Melissa and Doug bowling set
Blocks
Cars of any kind

He is getting it this Christmas so we haven’t actually used it yet, but this is the one he’s getting: www.amazon.com/GINMIC-Whiteboard-Chalkboard-Classroom-Education/dp/B07TC4RLYT/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=ginmic+magnetic+letters+and+numbers&qid=1576208437&sprefix=ginmic&sr=8-3

[isabel]

DS2 (2yo) is getting:

-A book with his name in it (it's about a square whose name is Sam)
-An expansion pack of Brio tracks (Santa gift)
-2 little Lego car kits
-Spot It Jr. (this is a joint gift for both kids)
-HA pajamas
-Stocking stuffers: bath bombs, a bath toy, and a new color magic coloring book with markers

I have no idea what grandparents are getting him. He hasn't really asked for anything for Christmas. I'm not sure he entirely gets the concept this year.

Oh, yes, I sort of forgot about this since we have so many of them. I bought the car carrier for a wishlist kid who is 2.

I will never forget DS1's reaction the year he got that Green Toys car carrier from Santa. He was 2 at the time and his reaction was so over the top amazed and overjoyed. It was the best.

Anyway, ditto Green Toys trucks and vehicles. We have planes, helicopters, car carrier with little cars, construction vehicles, and a firetruck. All get played with regularly. I love those toys more than any of our other ones.

[krystee]

His Santa gift is the Little Tikes food truck. I am a little worried he will outgrow it fast, but it was on a huge sale, so oh well.

He is also getting a Vtech cash register, a bunch of puzzles, blocks, a Toy Story Little People set, and matching Wizard of Oz PJs with his brother from Hanna Anderson.

[ny96]

DS2 is getting a Melissa and Doug Ice Cream set, a construction worker costume, a radio controlled car (he may be a bit little for this, but his brother is getting one too so the thrill is more in that), and one more thing which I purchased online and sent directly to my in laws that I can’t remember.

This list makes me wonder...

Is my kid the only one not super into toys? He plays with his kitchen, will do a puzzle, or maybe push around a car. Is that normal? I'm not complaining because he really loves books and puttering outside, I'm just curious if he is weird or just hasn't gotten into them yet (25m).

[Waffles]

DD is getting books, an easel and markers/paints, duplo blocks, a helicopter, a microphone, bath toys and pjs.

My kids aren’t really into toys. The magnatiles get the most use and legos and duplos are pulled out occasionally. Actually, the thing that the boys play with most consistently is the plastic sword from a Roman soldier costume DS got when we were in Italy a few years ago. I just don’t know what else, other than toys, to get them at this age.

My now DS3 is into toys, but my oldest never really was. He liked to be outside and collect crap and "putter" as you say. He had a train table and a kitchen and little people sets and on and on, but nothing that really grabbed him. He was so hard to shop for (and still is). DS3 is into Paw Patrol so his Christmas is basically the Paw Patroller and five of the cars/figures.

Mine wasn’t until she was about 3, and now she is very much a toy kid.
