A 2 year old who seems to have everything?

My third child has inherited his siblings' toys so has plenty of stuff. However, his siblings are young enough that he still needs to get a stocking with stuff from Santa, and a few things from us so that they don't think it's strange/he doesn't feel left out.

Now he's 2 there's nothing that's been away for long enough to wrap up and give to him (we did this with baby toys previously but now he mostly plays with stuff that's not outgrown by the others or only outgrown recently).

We have loads of Fisher Price Little People, wooden blocks and shapes, loads of wooden train track, Playmobil, fuzzy felt, stickle bricks, balls of all types, loads of dress up, loads of Duplo, a million soft toys, lots of farm stuff, loads of cars, loads of dinosaurs, loads of other hard animals, lots of orchard toys games, millions of books, loads of jigsaws, shape sorters, doll stuff and pushchairs etc, play kitchen, play ice-cream truck, loads of play food, sink, plates etc, toy till and trolley, easel, loads of craft stuff, tent and tunnel, loads of garden toys (ride ons, football goal, mini trampoline, hoops, rackets and balls, outside chalk etc), loads of playdough and different stuff, remote control cars, dolls house and contents, loads of bath toys.

Can anyone think of anything he doesn't have that I could get him?! I can think of some small things like stickers, bath stuff for the stocking but otherwise I'm a bit stumped.

If you think he's spoilt and has too much already, you're probably right, but no need to post as I do need to have something to wrap up!

@themoonismadeofcheese similar concept I think. Magformers have a hole in the middle and magformers are a complete tile. Great username by the way!

What about the Orchard postbox game OP? That went down well with my lively 2 year old a few years ago. Oh and Monkey Around, it's like a first board game with a soft banana and physical tasks to do. It's great for getting some energy out and my DD still plays it.

Oooh that monkey around game sounds fun. Do you think it would be fun to play at Christmas, it will be all adults and a 3 year old?

Just wrap up one of his existing toys. At this age Christmas is more about the wrapping paper anyway

Monkey Around

Here you are! Or I'm pretty sure it's on Amazon. It's made by Peaceable Kingdom

Thanks so much.

Yeah definitely! We play it as a family and it's a good laugh. And it lets the little ones have the experience of playing a game and being successful at it, which has built our DD's confidence.

This is good for 2 year olds. Keeps them entertained for ages. Haven't seen kinetic sand mentioned yet either.
