Tried & True Toddler Gifts

With P's 2nd birthday in a month family and friends are beginning to ask me what P would like for her birthday. As a mama who doesn't want one more toy - because she has about 800 she doesn't play with - these are all presents that are actually useful and will get a ton of use. So please put down that stuffed animal and try this list out for any toddler in your life instead!

Crayola Sidewalk Chalk (48 count)

There are smaller boxes of chalk but at $4.99 you can't really go wrong with 48 different colors. P can play with chalk forever and it's always nice to have some spare pieces laying around. It also keeps her from using her crayons all over the wall. Win for P, win for mom.

Melissa & Doug Water Wow Books

We discovered these after P swiped it from our friends house and was instantly hooked. What is so great about it is you fill the brush with water and "paint" the pictures. Once the water dries you can color the picture all over again. I especially like to get these for plane flights!

Colorforms

Oh I can still remember these as a child! P is loving stickers lately and these are a great option to make sure they don't stick anywhere you don't want them too. Like the inside of a car window....I never understand those people.

Fubbles No Spill Mini Bubbles

P is adamant that she holds her own bubble bottle and without fail every single time it's all over the ground and her shirt in minutes. We have the larger version of this but the mini one is where it's at. Also bubble solution is always a good gift!

Lush Bubble Bar

Bath time is a favorite in our household and getting to add a nicely scented, fun bubble bar to the water makes everyone happy. I love these big round ones because you can cut them into pieces for multiple baths. Plus I can use it if I want too also!

Reuseable Sticker Pad

Same concept as Colorforms (minus the childhood nostalgia) I know my little lady would squeal over this present. I like that it's contained in one book too, great for traveling.

Etsy Gift Card

I love to shop small and do a lot of my purchases on Etsy from hair bows to outfits. This would be a unique and fun option for any toddler mom! Plus fun to see what they would pick out since the options are endless!
