Hello all, in the spirit of Black Friday coming up, this weeks posts will be dedicated to holiday gift guides. There will be a separate guide for toddlers, preschoolers, and a combined guide for husbands and wives. The gift guides will feature some items that the boys already own, as well as items that we plan to purchase for them this Christmas. The items are in no special order, they are all gifts that I find interesting and think the kids will enjoy playing with. Please feel free to add items to the list in the comment section, or if you already own a particular item, share your experience with it. I hope you enjoy, talk to you soon.
Fisher-Price Handy Manny’s Repair Shop - What boy doesn’t want a cool tool bench? With all the included tools and sounds, your child will be repairing things (or making them worse) just like Dad does
Mega Bloks Build ‘n Go Table - Building blocks is a favorite past time for any child, with this table the toddlers creativity and projects can soar to new heights
Imaginarium Giant Bead Maze Cube - You usually see these at doctors offices and day care centers, but one thing I’ve always noticed is that they can hold a childs attention for a very long time. I don’t know what it is about this toy, but kids love it.
Baby Farm Friends Bowling - Bowling is fun for kids of all ages, this set includes different farm animals which toddlers also enjoy learning about
Fisher-Price Mickey Mouse’s Magic Choo Choo Train Set - Train sets are awesome, but for a toddler, they may be a bit complex. Mickey comes in to solve that issue with the magic choo choo train which lays its own tracks. Sounds like a winner to me.
Vtech Jungle Gym Ride and Learn Giraffe Bike - So maybe your little one isn’t quite ready for a real bike yet, but this stationary one is sure to put them on the right track. Throw in some simple learning games for them to do while peddling and you’ve got a winner.
Fisher-Price The Original Tickle Me Elmo - Kids love Elmo, do I have to say any more?
Elefun – The Butterfly Catchin’ Game - I think this one may be a tad bit out of a young toddlers age group, but can definitely see them growing into it quickly. I can imagine this game providing tons of exercise and entertainment.
Tonka Toughest Mighty Dump Truck - Construction vehicles always excite children, I don’t know if it’s their large size, the noises they make, or the activities they perform, whatever the case, kids love them so they’ll love replicating their actions at home.
Playskool Tonka Bounce Back Racer - Ah, the first remote control car. This one looks simple enough to control and have some fun with. At this age, we can’t give them the keys to the car just yet, so why not settle for the next best thing
I highly recommend Elefun! My 3-year-old daughter LOVES it. Lots of fun for toddlers and parents alike! The toddler flips a switch, and little butterflies shoot out of the trunk, and you guys try to see who can catch the most in your butterfly nets!

Here’s a list of CD’s, I didn’t put links, because you are limited in the number of links that you can provide in a single answer. A simple Google or even Amazon search of any or all of these will return plenty of results. The best thing about kid’s music, is it’s much cheaper than teen music, LOL

Although I would love to see Austins stuffed kitten with the flame thrower ……It wouldn’t promote many cognitive abilities. All of us who work with infants/toddlers and preschoolers know that this, without a doubt , is the time of the little scientist. I use to love water play and saw its profundity as I began to teach. I think that I would like to see something that has clear tubes and sits in a tub of sorts where many children at once can not only pour, feel, see the water but actually engage in some problem solving watching the water go to and from different places. I would like this to have exits and openings that can be manipulated by the children. This could work with sand also for more texture…but having taught I know the mayhem that would ensue with large numbers. I think if the tub was not that tall that the children could actually take off shoes and stand or sit in the water.
