Holiday toy suggestions

My anal brother has asked me for a list of gifts for Jacob for Christmas.  I know that my mom and MIL will be asking for suggestions too.

Jacob will be 21 months at the holidays and his birthday is just 3 months away.  I was thinking about researching toys for 2 year olds since he will be so close to that age.

I would LOVE to get him a train set, but I don't think we have the space right now in our townhouse.  We're probably moving late next year or just before his 3rd birthday, so it could be a good gift then.

Can you make suggestions for good 2 year old toys?

  • We ordered Nolan an art easel on Walmart.com (free shipping site to store) because he is in to coloring/painting. There is also a black and Decker tool bench that is pretty cool. Nolan and Lincoln are in to play power tools.

  • I also got them easels-they are really into coloring all of a sudden. A play McDonald's kitchen (they loved their cousins). I got this at a consignment sale cheap-looks brand new..

    Those are the big things. Othen than that I plan on getting them a few little things each-books, trucks-since they love them, a sit n spin. Not going overboard like I did last year-they have so much sstuff and they dont' knwo the difference!!!

  • I try to ask for stuff that isn't going to take up a lot of room... so like art/craft kinda stuff (Color Wonder, Play Doh etc).  PJ's, sheets with his favorite character on them, a book with his name in the story, a membership to the zoo or childrens museum (people can go in together on it), tickets to Elmo Live or something similar, dress up clothes (fireman outfit?), alphabet flash cards, wooden puzzles

    OMG, we just discovered this today at the Fisher-Price Playtime Tour. There were about 20 toys to try, and this is the only thing DS wanted to play with.

  • I haven't thought too much about it, but I would really like to get him some kind of ride on toy, maybe like this: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Tikes-Deluxe-Cozy-Convertible/dp/B00004SCWA/ref=pd_sbs_t_1

  • We got an easel already for Christmas.  Does Jacob have a play tunnel?  If not, I recommend both from Ikea.  Cheap and awesome.  I've heard a lot of moms say AquaDoodle is big around 2.  It's fun and not messy and the mat just rolls up when you're not using it.  I'm also thinking of a workbench.  Little People sets are always good, I think.  Oh, I'm also making a trunk of dress-up clothes for them.  The boy stuff is going to be outfits/accessories for a pirate, fireman, superhero (cape), doctor, and police officer.  My kids are a month older than yours, but we're also going with all 2+ toys for Christmas too, FWIW.
