I'm thinking of getting the Melissa and Doug fold and play castle for my 2.5 year old

[thatstoast]

I'm going to add kinetic sand to my list.

[RatOnnaStick]

Oops. Also a periscope and some cars 2 stuff.

[RatOnnaStick]

Rather specific but ds2 is getting a sand excavator.

[MeredithShepherd]

2 year old DS is getting a teepee as his main present. Then he's got pop up pirate, playmobil crane and cement mixer. Happyland castle and village from grandparents and a man u kit from my brother (poor child)

[Clickclickclick]

[TooTweeOrNotTooTwee]

Thank you everyone for ideas. He loves dressing up but I'm not massively keen on the superhero outfits which is all most shops seem to have!

[Whereareyousleep]

Imaginext is popular here he has lots of the superhero ones. Also
Costumes
Figures
Lego
Leapstart
Paw patrol

[FixItUpChappie]

thing my 3 yr old already has that I recommend.....

-Busytown - Eye Found It game - really awesome, still great for my 6yr old
-Doctor kit
-tool box - can add all kinds of bits. Last year we added a Learning and Resource wind up measuring tape which sounds boring but has longevity
-mine has a bouncy horse - rubber horse he can bounce around the house on
-costumes
-musical instruments
-Magformers/magnatiles

[MoonDuke]

Play mobile fire engine
Fireman Sam garage
Fireman Sam towel
Fireman book
Placemat
Paw patrol cars
Ice age DVD
Nameplate for his door
Socks
Jumper

[FixItUpChappie]

well my 3 yr old is on the later end of 3 but he is getting....

-Playmobil ladder truck and station
-a new sled
-Haba ball run for the tub
-Melissa and Doug discovery magic set
-a die cast car track (fast lane airport track)
-a magnet play construction book
-Alex water flutes
-Melissa and Doug create a mask kit
-Lady and the Tramp DVD
-probably something new for his kitchen

He is also sharing a hex bug game with his older brother - "Buggaloop"- which he is going to LOVE

[Juanbablo]

We've got our 2yr old a play kitchen. The early learning centre one. It was 60% off a few weeks ago.

Aside from that he is getting playmobil, blaze car, Skye in her helicopter, pants, socks, bath bomb, bouncy ball.

[TooTweeOrNotTooTwee]

Some good tips here thank you. Didn't realise playmobil was suited for this ahi, will look into that. Also liking the idea of tools : tool bench.

Won't get too many dolls / prams etc as he has an older sister so plenty of that type of thing around already - he does love playing with dolls!

I'm tempted by a (reasonably priced??) piano for both DC - very unmusical myself but love the idea of them learning an instrument.

[originaldoozy]

Oh and an aquadoodle mat

[originaldoozy]

Scooter
Lots and lots of books
Puzzles
'My first calendar' fabric one to hang on the wall
More bits for the kitchen he already has
Brio train stuff

Stocking fillers:
Dinosaur projection torch
3d christmas glasses
bath bomb
matchbox cars (to add to his already vast collection - his Dads from the 70s)

I think that is all.

[Fueledwithfairydustandgin]

DS loves his kinetic sand. Primark have some green stuff in a bucket for £2.50 which is even more popular then the real stuff. He also loves all the Bruder and Schleich stuff

Tool belt

Grandparents buying brushwood farm , bubble exhaust and car that you fix with tools plus even more books

[SimplyNigella]

DS is 3 just after Christmas and the things he's getting that your DS doesn't already have are:

• Kukkia Oekaki wooden drawing house (he loves the cheap plastic drawing boards but they break so quickly he will be really pleased to have a nicer one)
  
• Viga dolls house and furniture with additional dolls, pets and playground set. He loves small world play and it was nice to find a dolls house that isn't pink and girlie
  
• IKEA wooden balance beam
  
• More wooden food for his kitchen
  
• Olli and Ella pull along basket on wheels
  

He also has and loves:

• wooden farm
  
• Play-Doh
  
• kinetic sand

[Parker231]

[wobblywonderwoman]

I have a two and a three year old (both had recent birthdays). They love the brio and garage

Farm
Duplo - it is a nice set - build fire engine/cars etc
ride on tractors for outside

pound shop bits and pieces (magnet trains, sticker books, toy animals)
