2 year old birthday gift ideas..

LindseyH033 · June 2014

DD1 turns 2 this Sunday and I have no idea what to get her. I feel like she has everything! Any recommendations, input or ideas??

agree that a museum/nature center/zoo membership would be great. my vote is always for experience over stuff. that said, some things my DS has and likes or would like:

water table
toddler-size basketball hoop
little tikes pillow racer (don't get it on amazon, their prices are inflated- i've seen them in tj maxx/marshall's)
magna doodle
kitchen helper (the special step stool so kids can help at counter height)
books!
art supplies of any kind- sidewalk chalk, finger paint, washable crayons and markers, stamping pens, stickers, paper on a roll

i think we will get him a water table for his 2nd birthday. the kitchen helper i would love to have, but they're kind of pricey, so i'm trying to find one second-hand somewhere.

What about a wagon? DD loves hers instead of the stroller now.

A wagon is a great idea! DD1 throws a fit when I try to put her in the stroller, I bet she would love a wagon! Thank you!!

I love the experience over things gifts too, mostly because there are some toys that DD has literally played with once that everyone thought she would love... I hate to see things go to waste. Her uncle gave her a membership to the children's museum in our city for Christmas last year, and that's been great. Would also love if someone wanted to pay for a session of swimming lessons for her

A highlights magazine subscription would be fun (and they switch to the next membership level at 2 years old). I've also been exploring the kiwi crate website and was thinking about doing something like this at Christmas time for her (which is also around her 2nd birthday).

The Highlights magazine is a great idea! I had that as a child and loved it. I like the idea of swimming lessons too. She loves the pool! Thank you!
