It’s the most wonderful time of the year! If you follow me over on Instagram, you know that I started Christmas shopping early this year, and I’m dying for Christmas morning to see the kids faces when they unwrap their presents (and before you get after me, yes I know that Christmas isn’t about presents, but they’re fun to give).
Today, I’m going to share some of the items that are on my kids wishlists, as well as some of their favorites. If you’re new to the world of open-ended/wooden toys, you might also want to check out the Getting Started with Open-Ended Toys post. A few of these toys also make good family gifts, so if you are trying to limit the amount of toys in your home, they’re a great option.
one // two // three // four // five // six // seven // eight // nine // ten // eleven // twelve
Around here, we usually try and stick to the 4 gift rule.
- A Want
- A Need
- A Wear
- A Read
This year, we’re spoiling them a little and giving them 2 wants, instead of a need because I just finish selling 75% of their toys. Most of the toys will build upon the items we currently have for small world play (houses, trees, bridges, cars, etc), as well as items to build marble runs.
Hopefully, this has given you a few good ideas for Christmas shopping this year! I also plan on putting together a list of stocking stuffers, so be on the look out for that. Fair warning, I tend to go overboard with stockings. Anyone else?
