Struggling to come up with anything and wanting to get started this week. Decided im going to get everything in and sorted by end of November as ive 4 kids and after the shit show of last year id like to be able to enjoy this december.
I have twin boys, they will be 2.5 at christmas. My parents have already went and bought them trikes. So no bikes etc as they already have scuttlebugs.
One is obssessed with the hoover so i might get him the dyson one i saw on smyths website.
Thinking some books, maybe some percussion instruments, other than that im not sure. Any ideas?

They have some toot toot drivers and they like playing with them, but the put together set to play with them on gets wrecked within minutes of set upGrin
Will check out some of the other suggestions there, might work.

Ds6 got the toy Dyson when he was 2 and he still occasionally plays with it. My youngest is 2.5 loves it too. The Melissa & Doug fire dress up is loved as the workbench and toolkit. The Playmobil 123 farm is now enjoyed by the youngest. Duplo. He is really enjoying trains and marble run and is getting some bits to go with his brothers old Duplo train set and some Hubelino bits.
