What are you getting your LOs for their bday?

[john5111]

I need some ideas for LO. He turns 2 next Friday and I have no idea what to get him for his bday.  He has so many toys.  So far I know hes getting for his bday from other people are a sandbox and toy golf set.  He has a wagon, trike, tball toy set and lawnmower for outside.  Looking for some ideas as I am running out of time. Thanks!

We're getting him a trike, his grandparents are making a fort/clubhouse thing out of cloth and PVC pipe with the idea that it can be an indoor/outdoor type thing. They swear it's only 4' by 4' by 4' and it'll fit in my dining room, but we shall see.

Daycare just got a "new" car ramp/tower thingy that was a major hit this morning so it might go on our list; I think it's meant for little people type cars, but they were using match box cars and it was fine. We got Bud a Little Tikes First Slide www.amazon.com/Little-Tikes-First-Slide-Blue/dp/B008MH5H4M/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1429283581&sr=1-1&keywords=little+tikes+slide for Christmas and put it in the play room; that's still a hit. Every toy he owns has gone down that slide, but currently he likes to race his cars down it.

Wast the car thing this one?

We got him a trike, a little girl thing(it might end up going to my nephew though), a Thomas the train hat, book, and train, I think he has an outfit in there too. I kind of went overboard I think. I'm trying to start early since we have 3 birthdays 2 weeks apart and a new baby coming in early July.

What about a baby pool and some water toys?
Train tracks and set?
Tool bench?
Activity table and chairs?

I honestly don't think we are getting her anything because she will get so much from others. But I am going to work on an Amazon wish list for the grandparents/aunts/uncles. So watching for suggestions. Anyone want to recommend a trike? That's on my (mental) wish list but I haven't researched it yet.

mamamd- we have the radio flyer 3 in 1 trike and LO loves it!!!

We are thinking a small kiddie pool and toys. Will be watching for other ideas here though.

We thought about toddler type bike, art easel, books, I have others on my wish list for dd.

We are getting DD a Barbie Quad (3-6yrs) but I wanted something she could grow into. She loves the power wheel that the neighbor has and wouldn't get off the smaller quad at Walmart a couple of weeks ago...

But grandparents are getting her a desk (b/c she loves to color), and great grandma got her a picnic table for outside (though we already received it, and its not made it outside yet)...

[sudokufan]

john5111, not, it's not that one but that looks amazing! I kinda want to play with it.

[sudokufan]

My husband has decided to get him this:


Ok by me, it's a classic for a reason, but I had to laugh since he objected to the price of the modern ones. "Vintage" ain't cheap either.

[mamamd]

sudokufan, That is awesome! We had tons of "little people" stuff growing up and I want to get LO some too. But I haven't really found any "modern" ones I love. I had this idea in my head that the old ones were better and now I see they really were! Never thought to look for a vintage set. Genius!

She needs some summer clothes. Not fun, but I'll get her some kind of toy, too. Not sure what yet, though.

[Shoe Crazy Me]

We got LO a Strider Balance Bike. The first and only thing he has ever asked for (toys) is a bike.

john5111, sudokufan, We got E that skyway toy for Christmas and he loves it. He plays with it a lot. They sell additional cars for it separately too. My nephew has one too and he's 3 and a half and still plays with it.

We are getting him the radio flyer 3 in 1 and a sandbox for the back yard.

I also highly recommend the 3 or 5 sports in 1 sets. He happened to get two of them for Christmas but we kept one at Grandma's and he loves them. www.amazon.com/Having-Ball-5--Sports-Zone/dp/B009IWHGSK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430324907&sr=8-1&keywords=5+in+one+sports+zone

I'm late to the post, but my mom has gotten some "vintage" toys on ebay - a sit n spin (love) and the little people parking garage (also a hit). She read somewhere that the older sit n spins are better lol

We are getting him the rody horse and either the little people barn or the Thomas train set.

We got DS a toddler recliner and a tool bench with a ton of tools.
