2yr olds - Needing "big gift" ideas for the bday girl.

in Toddlers: 24 Months+

I was going to get DD a water/sand table but have had second thoughts, figuring a separate sandbox would be better.  She already has pools, so the thought of a water table might be ruled out.

With ruling the sand/water table out, I am WAAAAY over thinking this.  I just want to know what your 2+ year old has loved.  Of course different personalities = different gifts, but I am looking for 1 "big" gift.  She already has a trike/bike, so that's out.  Not looking to spend a TON of $ as we're on a budget (max $150).

 

TIA!

    We got a trampoline for my son and it's really nice because we have it in the house, so he can burn off some energy when it's hot outside :)  My dad also made him a sandbox that he loves!

    that's what we did for dd2's 2nd bday. I bought it through little tykes website, I think I paid $75. I regret not having bought one sooner since both my girls love it.  

     

    See?? This is why I love you moms.  Never even thought of a trampoline.  Thanks ladies!

    We bought DD1 a water table when she was 1 and she still loves to play with it and she is 5, DD2 also loves to play with it.  For DD1 for her 2nd birthday we bought her the Step 2 Extreme Coaster and everyone loves it.  DD2 is getting a grill for her 2nd birthday and a remote control car.

    Both of my girls love the water table.  We have a sandbox and my 2.5 year old asks to play in it everytime we go outside.  We bought the crabbie sandbox which is a bit bigger and probably is close to your budgeted amount.  Both of my girls also love their kitchen and the cozy coupe.

    A play kitchen or a wagon would be great gifts.

    If you don't have one, the play kitchen is a big hit here!

    Play kitchen.  My son loves his and plays with it every single day.  We got this one:

    https://www.amazon.com/KidKraft-53208-Vintage-Kitchen-White/dp/B004A2QTRC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1373500399&sr=8-3&keywords=kidcraft+kitchen 

    And free shipping!  Took about 3 hours to put together, so make sure you give yourself the time the night before if you get this one :)  It's very well made.

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

    My DD got a play tent that we set up inside the house. She LOVES it and still plays in it all the time, she is almost 3 now.

    I got a small trampoline for my DS when he turned 2.  He loves it and it was only about $30 on Amazon!  For his first birthday, my father-in-law got him a wagon.  That's another good idea.  He loves it.  Hope those ideas helped :)
