Gifts for on the go kiddos?
I have no clue what to get ds1 & ds2; 3 1/2 & 18 months for Christmas. They are busy; constantly climbing! They'd rather bang on things or climb than sit & play. If we build with their big cardboard blocks I have to help. Ds2 still won't play alone.
Grandma will be getting them those bouncing bulls. I've been considering the lily pad trampoline; but we are in a small two bedroom apartment with no balcony. Meaning- we would have to give up our dining table for it (which I don't mind) but I will have no where to "hide" it when they get rediculous about using it. :/ ds1 has a trike. They love being outside... I'm at a loss! I'd love something to keep their attention for a bit.... (Ds1 will play my iPhone all day; so I know he'd live a leap pad, but I do not want him playing it all day; & he'll tantrum if he can't, so I want to minimize on that...) Any ideas?! Oh- or suggestions for hotwheels ramps? He loves his car but the one pricy set we bought did not hold up at all!

Re: Gifts for on the go kiddos?
My 18 month old's favorites right now are her bouncy rody horse, and the sit & spin. Both easy and physical to get her moving. If I had the space for it I would love a mini trampoline, and a hanging swing.
One thing I got inspired by Play At Home Moms to get was a small 48" inflatable pool. I got a huge set of ball pit balls on craigslist for $10 that I can fill it with. I also picked up 2 bags of wood pellets from the animal store for $10 to fill that sucker up for digging/jumping/playing. I also want to use it for a place to do our messy activities like dumping/pouring water inside since it's too cold outside. Just a fun way to burn off some energy but stay indoors. |

Re: Gifts for on the go kiddos?
Make a box house or fort for them out of appliance boxes; they can run and crawl through them and peek out. When they don't want to play with it, just collapse it and stand it against a wall or put it under a bed until the next play time. What about mommy and me classes? Might be a good holiday gift for you. Don't know what else; thinking hurts right now.
