Each two to three year old has their own preference when it comes to… well pretty much everything. Their curiosity about the world around them is only growing and their desire to take part in new and exciting activities opens up new and adventurous worlds to explore, whether that be digging in the muddy garden, jumping in puddles, or being your right hand man in the kitchen. Here are some Christmas gift ideas for toddlers which are sure to appeal to your little one’s stage of development, imagination and curiosity and to offer hours of uninterrupted fun while you put your feet up and have a hot toddy by the fire.
Doll house
So, I’m not an affiliate for studio.co.uk but just stumbled across their Personalised Holly Tree Wooden Doll Mansion with furniture set which has been reduced to under £30!! I’ve been searching for one of these kinds of dollhouses for a while and they all seemed either a bit on the expensive side or too small. This one’s a good size for the price tag and even comes with furniture and the option to add your little one’s name to the outside! This is the perfect toy for letting your little one’s imagination run wild. I bought it for my own daughter and I think it’s not only reasonably priced but adorable too. Keeping in mind it’s on sale now in the winter of 2021 so catch it while you can!
Toniebox
If you haven’t heard of these yet, you’re in for a treat. Tonie boxes are child-friendly, wireless audio box speakers which come with different creative, miniature characters for you to place on top of the box in order to activate the audiobooks in that range. Listen to relaxing stories and songs before bed-time or during you little one’s play sessions – a welcome break from the TV set and an accessible way to bring a fresh, fun approach to educational learning and entertainment. Choose from a variety of characters and stories to expand your story collections with characters such as Peter Rabbit, Winnie the Pooh, The Gruffalo, Moana and more!
Trike
Toddlers love to be on the move and trikes are the perfect gift to get them moving and fill their day with fun! This trike, also available in pink, is made to last, with wheels durable enough for cycling outside and a covered storage compartment in the back where your toddler can keep their must haves – such as teddies and toys! I like that the seat has three adjustable positions to cater to the length of your child’s legs as they grow and the tassels are a nice touch for what could be your child’s first ever trike!
Swan Lake Music Box
I think when it comes to getting gifts for our children, there is something heart warming about passing on traditions and items that we once treasured when we were children. Whether that’s decorating the Christmas tree together, making a gingerbread house or passing on an adored trinket, there’s lots of options out there. For me, that treasured item was a swan lake music box. This adorable Jewellery Storage Box with its ballerina that twirls to the tune of Swan Lake brings back pleasant childhood memories for many and is the perfect gift for a toddler to store all of their favourite items, bracelets and accessories.
2-in-1 Chalkboard and white board
Let your toddler’s creative juices run riot with their own personal chalkboard and white board which is designed to meet your toddler’s height just right. Let’s face it, give your little one a pen and its easily excusable to assume that they might venture out and redesign your wall interiors so replace that pen with a piece of chalk and hey presto! They get to draw to their heart’s content and you can rest in the knowledge that if you walk away for 5 minutes and things go awry, the clean-up won’t be so heart-braking.
Simba Keyboard
Buttons! If your toddler is anything like mine, they’ll loooove pressing buttons – whether that’s on the telephone, the remote or the light switches in your home. This keyboard brings together a variety of animal sounds and tunes for your child to enjoy and a recording option to capture their very first musical recitals! It’s sure to bring a lot of joy and dancing into the house and comes in bright, attractive colours.
Toy Kitchen
Next on the list of gift ideas for toddlers is this miniature, wooden kitchen which comes in a range of beautiful shades and is perfect for imaginary play. If your little one is always keen to help you out when you’re cooking, this adorable kitchen set is sure to bring a smile to their face and potentially keep them busy for a good while. This is the kind of toy that toddlers love to return to over and over again so it’s sure to get a lot of use over the years! It’s the perfect height for young ones from 12 months and up according to the reviews and comes with a cute set of utensils, temperature dials to turn and food to cook! Bon Apetit!
Teepee
Research shows that toddlers love to retreat to enclosed, secure spaces where they feel encompassed and safe. Teepees have picked up a lot of popularity when it comes to toddler room decor and they’re the perfect addition to a reading corner or private bedroom den for your little one to relax, read books, nap or have a tea party in! With fairy lights, a carry case and floor mat included this foldable tent playhouse is easy to put together and move around the house and creates a nice, magical little nook which, to be honest, makes me want to invest in one for myself.
Hope you enjoyed these gift ideas flor toddlers, wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
