Toddler/preschool stocking fillers

[maamalady]

I have two DDs aged 3 and 18 months, and am starting to think about stockings. So far my list is totally uninspired with chocolate coins, satsuma, and a magic flannel each.

What are you putting in stockings this year?

DS will be almost 4 and across this year and last he has had/will have:

• bouncy ball
• fun toothbrush (character or flashing)
• fun cutlery set
• cup with straw
• bath crayons
• mini stamps with washable ink
• prawn crackers (his favourite food in the world)
• mini cereal variety pack
• Brio Santa sleigh and Rudolph for his train set
• Christmas issue of favourite magazine
• sticker book
• magnetic racing car
• Mash'em or similar blind box toy
• Kinder Surprise
• bath colour changing tablets or bath bomb
• dynamo torch

We are planning on doing not too many toys but I was thinking of getting the in the night garden value play set from Argos and wrapping the characters individually.

DD will be 3, so far she's getting:

-Safety scissors
-Crown
-DVD
-Tractor Ted notebook
-Bubble bath
-Character socks
-Hot chocolate
-Play Doh tubs
-As well as obligatory tangerine, choc pennies etc.

Magic flannel, noted ;) thanks!

DD last year (3) had:

small (fake) my little pony
nail varnish
a sweetie
an orange
a magazine
a tube of magic snow
a small torch

Last year DS1 (just 4) got Lego, Xmas socks, character pants, personalised Nutella, choc orange, chocolate coins, a book, a magazine, magic flannel, character bubble bath.

A box of band aids and a roll of selotape. Keeps mine occupied for 2-3 hours. Get the scotchgard selotape as it comes off without damaging the walls.

Yy toothbrush, satsuma, chocolate coins.

We put a comic in - makes the stocking a lovely big plump stocking shape and slows them down a bit looking at the pictures and wrestling the tat off the front.

Schleich animals and Hot Wheels cars are good for stockings.

Glow sticks.

New slipper socks.

Our 3 DC have to have nominally identical stockings. It's the law. Can have three different toothbrushes but can't do one having a toothbrush and another having a face cloth.

They LOVED bath bombs last year, come to think of it. Will add to my list while I remember!

Tattoos - my DS(3) would cover his whole body with them given half a chance (DP and I, and no family members have tattoos - so I don't know why)

yes, to glowsticks, hotwheels, kinder, choc coins, bath bombs, small plastic animals - all loved by older brother and younger.

Small paint set (if child so inclined), crackers.

I'd be careful on the magic flannel etc. if (like mine) they'll be in the stocking without supervision - DS2 is generally pretty good, but I think that a magic flannel would at least be licked as it's sweet sized, and could be dangerous

DD is nearly 5 and will be getting:

satsuma
chocolate coins
penguin lollipop
mini Kinder house with several chocolate items in
tube of Smarties
mini robin soft toy
mini butterfly kite
growing dino egg
glitter bouncy ball
Snowman and snow dog bath fizzers
sparkly hair clips and hair bands
Cath Kidston mini purse
pencil with unicorn topper
brightly coloured wooden bracelet
curly novelty straw
a magazine (Charlie and Lola if I can find one)
paper laser
mini bag of marbles
light up bath fish

Get thee to a flying Tigers shop. Brilliant for stocking fillers!! Hand held disco wand, 3 each, a little pretend shell with fossil inside and little mini 🔨 too crack it open. Pretend moustaches, And load of quirky little bits. some schleich fantasy figures, popo figures, chocolate And we are done.

DTD's will be just gone 4 at Christmas and I've got the following on my stockings list (They won't necessarily get all of this, these are just my ideas at the moment).

Playdoh and cutters
Knickers
Chocolate buttons
Bubbles
Stickers
Hair clips
Mashems
Notebook & pen
Book
Bath toys
CBeebies magazine
Crayola twistables
Plasters
Peppa Pig keyring

Silly Christmas socks
Novelty/character t-shirt
Magic face cloth
Chocolate coins

Have added for DD 4:
Pez
Olaf multi coloured pen
Frozen "diary" (lockable notepad)
Cheap kids CD for the car

Ah, some great ideas here! I shall get shopping - Schleich animals is a good idea for both mine, as is going to Tiger and buying everything I can see

Ooh some good ideas on here!

Over the past few years, ours have included:-
Schleich animals/ dinosaurs
Hot wheels or small wooden cars
Trains for the Brio set
Projector torch
Wind-up animal torch
Big magnet
Kaleidoscope
Small instruments - Hand bells, clackers etc

I stupidly made my DCs enormous stockings out of their old baby clothes so I always try and put in a big magazine or soft back picture book.
Orange in the toe, think we'll be getting socks, pants, toothbrush, they like that kind of thing thankfully! Plus chocolate coins, probably bubbles, playdough.

Kaleidoscope

Oh, sorry already been beaten with that suggestion.
