plain jane Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I need to place an order with RR and am once again looking to fill it with some ideas that will keep my 2yo boy interested and occupied while we do school when things start up again. Anybody have a 2-3yo child who got something for Christmas that they just can't put down? I need to know what it is they got! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto10blessings Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Tractor and airplane (green toys from rr) He also loves the chubbies vehicles from rr Wood puzzles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 My three-year-old stepdaughter got a plastic toy set in which each figure is a different stage in the life cycle of a frog. We knew she'd like it, since she's all about the animal baby-parent pair right now, but we did not expect her to choose to play with it rather than the trampoline, zip line, and kid-sized hamster ball we gave as group presents to the whole family. Very small children are funny, particular creatures, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 A new toy kitchen, the game "Gone Fishin,'" and a truck that carries cars. The kitchen, play food, etc. are great lesson-time distractions. DS cooks for us while we do lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'smom Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I gave both my kids boxes full of craft supplies. My 3 year old has been thrilled. She's cutting and gluing to her hearts content. She's already used up an entire glue stick. My dh had rolled his eyes before Christmas when I wanted to do this, but it's definitely been a hit for her. She especially likes gluing the googly eyes onto things. It is a mess though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 this was a previous year, but it was one of the best presents I ever gave one of my kids. dudeling (18 - 24 months at the time) loved the fisher price lawn mower. BEST. $15. I. ever. spent. on a toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plink Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 My little one is 4, but she and her younger cousins have spent the last several days giggling with their storytelling cards. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FYH1UC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001FYH1UC&linkCode=as2&tag=libhilhou-20 Sorry for the ugly link and affiliate code - posting from my iPad and I don't feel like taking the time to figure out how to make it pretty.

T'smom Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Oh, we didn't do this for Christmas but one thing that can keep my 3 yo occupied for awhile is that play food with velcro that you can "cut" with a knife. We also have a pizza set that has Velcro on top and little pepperonis, peppers and mushrooms that you can stick to it. She likes to take people's orders and bring them their pizza. I think my nephew has a sandwich set and a grilling set that uses Velcro. It's a pretty big hit with kids who come to visit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocelotmom Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 A bunch of cheap plastic horses (cheap plastic animals tend to be a big hit in general), a Cabbage Patch knockoff baby doll in a bird costume that I suspect came from a dollar store, and Duplos. The markers were a big hit that I can't really recommend. The balance bike she got last year turned into a big hit at around 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Lots of the above are huge hits here, but the surprise hit is a remote control car made for 3 and up. It lights up, flips, really can't get stuck anywhere. It is the toy our little one won't put down. She's not quite 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
