Stocking fillers for toddlers

[PlumpShady]

Hi! Could anyone with toddlers please share what’s going in their Christmas stocking?

So far all I’ve got is chocolate and a little box of Peppa card games (snap, happy families type thing).

Keen not to stuff it full of tat that she will play with once and forget about!

No toddlers here, but how about

Bubbles
Playdoh
Cutlery set
Water bottle
Books

Socks, bath bombs, crayons, post it notes.

Mine has:
schleich dino
mini playmobil quad bike set
Tonie figure
card Game - Dino like dobble
card game snap - digger version
kid baking spatula
dinosaur cookie cutter

Mines almost two. I've just got him cheap bits from tiktok shop like a card matching game, a puzzle set, a dinosaur sorting game.

So far I was thinking:

Tangerine
Little bag of popcorn
Little bag of chocolate coins
Bath bomb
Slipper socks
Mini pot of PlayDoh
MatchBox car

Son has just turned three for context.

In DS3's I've got:

• Chocolate
• PlayDoh
• Small packet of trucks/toy cars
• Stickers
• Pack of bath toys
• Finger puppets
• Bubbles (my 3yo is obsessed although this can be seen as tat)
• Paint sticks
• Plastic dinosaurs

I have a 3 and 1 year old and I’m getting

• tooth brush
• new novelty flannel (prob frozen 🙄)
• fuzzy or character socks
• chocolate coins
• satsuma
• pack of stickers for 3 year old and the reusable bigger gel stickers for the 1 year old
• small Christmassy teddy (reindeer/penguin etc)
• crayons
• bubbles/bubble wand
• new camelback cups each
• hair bows/bands
• a tonie each
• probably some small piece of tat that they’ll love despite being from the cheapo shop and they’ll play with that for days instead of the large dolls house I’ve got them as their main gift.

they’ve got the dolls house and accessories as their main gifts, jigsaw/puzzle each, book each, another tonie each, craft set each, little one is inheriting her sisters first dolls pram and eldest is inheriting a cousins scooter, Christmas Day dresses each and a Disney doll

Also. I will just put anything small sized in the stocking. So for example the tonie is a gift from granny, but she’s happy for it to go in stocking.

All of my kids (6yr old, just turned 4yr old at Xmas, and just turned 2yr old at Xmas) will be getting:

Chocolate coins
Gingerbread treat
Bath bombs

They will also get a coupl small toys each that they have asked father Christmas for (well my oldest decided what little toy her baby sister would like from father Christmas)

i got my almost two year old silly string one year, as well as glow sticks, stickers and some other random poundland bits i can't remember now. was our cheapest year!

-paint sticks

I'm putting together my 2 year old's first stocking. My ideas are,

• Tangerine/ easy peeler
• Haribo
• Chocolate santa
• A small fairy tin with chocolate coins inside from b&m
• A cardboard glider
• A mini spinning top and pull back car from etsy
• tub of playdoh
• a cbeebies magazine
• a 'my little pony' style toy from the pound shop

Flannel (the novelty ones that are solid that go normal once in the water)
Tiny puzzle/Lego build
Snap
Crayons
Stickers
Pencils
Bubbles
Bouncy ball

Oh and paint sticks are brilliant.

If your toddler is pretty good, they can draw on pvc doors and glass. My toddler draws all over our back doors and then uses a spray bottle and cloth to clean and repeat. He absolutely loves it and I just properly wipe is down once he's finished 😃

They can also obviously be used on paper etc.

I'm wondering how big some of these stockings are! 😂 I sewed all of ours and thought they were quite big at the time but I definitely couldn't fit half of this stuff in 😅
