1 Kid-friendly Gadgets
I know we have all been a victim of the all too familiar question, "Do you have a game on your phone?" Well I have absolutely banned my tots from my phone. It's my personal opinion but my device is far too expensive to be in the sticky little hands of my 3 and 4 year olds, so this is one of my favorite gift ideas for toddlers. My little monkeys have their very on Nabi Jr. Tablets. These Android market supported, technology driven devices are perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, offering a host of educational apps and games as well as movies and music. Visit nabitablet.com for more information, pricing and where to buy.
Frequently asked questions
2 Tickets
YAY! Elmo and the Sesame Street gang are coming to town! Pick up a set of tickets so your little ones can join in with the live, in real time action. The circus is a good show for toddlers to see as well. This is fun for the entire family.
3 Musical Instruments
Give your pots and pans a break and buy him/her a set of mini drums. Getting them in tune with music may spark a serious interest early on. They are so cute with their itty bitty guitars and drums. Even try out a few lessons if you think your child has the attention span to sit through it. Rock on baby, rock on!

Movies on Blu-ray and new books for reading, Bright colored crayons and paper for scribbling, Chocolate cupcakes with extra icing, These are a few of my favorite things, Yellow toy dump trucks and pink princess tutu, Footballs and baseballs and fluffy toy poodles, Airplanes that fly with a star on the wings, These are a few of my favorite things... Okay, you get where I’m going with this little "song." Toddlers are creatures of habit and when they like something, they want it ALL of the time. So pick up some of their favorite things and they will love it!
5 Go Some Place New
So you have a list of places you would like to take your toddlers but you just haven’t gotten around to planning the outing yet. Well get those plans made and take them to the zoo, the aquarium, the Children’s Museum or the crayon factory just to name a few. There are tons of toddler friendly outings just pick one and go for it. Their little minds will be in awe of all the new things they will see.
6 A New Car!
Just kidding! Not a real car, but the battery powered riding toys. As a child I LOVED driving around in my Fisher Price Power Wheel Barbie Jeep! Now with a variety of styles, sizes and features there is sure to be a vehicle just for your tot. Vroom vroom baby!
7 A Pet
This is a great age to introduce pets to children. Children that are raised in a home with a pet are less likely to be afraid of animals and this offers a great companionship for them as well. This gift takes a bit of researching to ensure that the pet you choose is compatible with your lifestyle as well as your child. You don’t want to have a pet that doesn’t work out with your schedules and such. So visit a local pet shelter and get informed before making a selection.
So, I hope that this gets you thinking about some gift ideas for your little people. What items are on the gift list for the kiddos this year?
