Stuffed animals & Christmas

ArcticFox · December 2011

If your DC wants stuffed animals for Christmas, what are you doing? Giving them what they want, or limiting how many they get?

We got DD a Doodlebear, which doesn't really count, but now she wants some Webkinz too. I don't really want any more stuffed animals in the house! But I want her to be excited about what she's getting.

I hear you! Every time someone gives a stuffed animal to the girls I groan inside. We have a huge bucket of them, any they don't really play with them.

About twice a year, we go through the toys together and give away the toys that they don't play with anymore.

DD loves her "stuffed friends", and wants more - specifically, Woody, Jessie, Stinky Pete, Buzz, etc, etc, etc (all Toy Story ones.) We got her Woody and Jessie, and that's all the stuffed animals she's getting. I know she'll be excited by them, plus I think she'll love the other stuff she's getting (that she didn't ask for). Puzzles, books, and the biggie, the loving family dollhouse.

One in, one out. I cull the herd and donate stuffed animals as I can. Usually when the kids are gone. They haven't noticed as I have been rather selective in my culling. So I might get her one or two webkinz but that is it.

We give away the same amount that we bring in. Not just for stuffed animals but all toys. It keeps our house from getting cluttered. I just go through things when the kids are out or napping. They never notice that the older toys are not around any more.

Ugh, we have way too many as is. But this post has reminded me I need to go through the playroom again before Christmas and pick out donations, before the next wave of g-parent gifts.

My DD is getting a Dora Pillow Pet, a Diego Cuddle Pillow (the thing stands straight and is big but matches the Dora one she already has thanks to my Mom) and a purple Hello Kitty that you color the skirt. She wants them all and will love them, I wish I could cut back what she has but she loves them all and would notice.
