What are you getting your 2.5 yr old for Christmas?

I am starting a wishlist for Jack and have no idea what to get.

I'm so over all of these toys that the thought of more makes my head spin!

Re: What are you getting your 2.5 yr old for Christmas?

I have been thinking about the same thing.

I think I might upgrade Sabrina's dollhouse and get one that is geared more toward 3 and up. I am also looking into some Barbie stuff.

As far as unisex stuff, I am thinking of looking at Land of Nod for some fun things.

We had bought DS the Imaginarium train table but I don't remember if you bought that for Jack.

I have no idea what I am going to get DD.

They play with things for a few minutes and literally toss it. Not to mention I still have toys for previous christmas that I forgot was in the basement.

Re: What are you getting your 2.5 yr old for Christmas?

I feel the same way. DS still has toys from his birthday we have not opened yet.

DS Chat Icon musical instruments and has been asking for a violin. He uses his guitar as a violin ever since he saw one a month ago, so I think we are going to get him a violin. He plays his guitar every day.

So far I have purchased three thomas trains, well actually the construction vehicles for thomas.
Chutes and Ladders
Twister
Melissa and Doug Lacing puzzle
K'nex super grover
Play Dough Lego R2D2 shape maker kit

I think the rest of his list for us and various family members to get him is:
- vaccume
- hess truck or fire truck
- trampoline
- violin
- vehicle that can transport cars and cars for vehicle
- table and chair set

- a sled
- a watch (she loves them - from my mom)
- a charm for her bracelet
- a few toys that I picked up when Kay-Bee went out of business
- hopefully a babydoll stroller (Secret Santa)

And I too am over the ton of toys. I refuse to get anything else.

What kind of a violin are you planning to get him?

My DS is obsessed with guitars (and basically just loves musical instruments). He has 2 child sized guitars and a ukulele. He saw a violin in a music store and he's been talking about that as well. He would probably prefer something more "real" but they're expensive so we'll probably end up with a toy one.
