To take DDs toys away?

[WhenSantaGotStuckUpACunnyFunt]

And wrap them up to give to her for christmas? She'll only be 18mo. We're a bit skint this year so she's got a couple of main presents and that's it off us. Someone has given her a gorgeous stocking and we haven't got much to put in it. So would it be terrible to take away a few of her smaller toys and put them in her stocking?

Hiding toys then getting them out again - toy rotation - is often done as children play with something then can ignore it for months.

Whilst you have a stocking do you need to use it? Does she know what santa is?

Surely a couple of main presents is enough for a baby?

Not sure about you, but I have no memories whatsoever of being 18 months old.

Well no, I don't remember being 18mo, but I just thought that we have the stocking, we may as well use it. I like the idea of her coming into our bed on christmas morning to open her stocking

I've done that . It's about the opening at that age. Hide some now so she hasn't got them for a couple of weeks.

Yes, it's fine! Hide a few bits now.

Can't wait for christmas day now, "Ooh what's that DD? Oh a rainmaker! Lovely, you had one just like it, I haven't seen it for a while, have you DP?"
