2.5 year old boy with older brother

[oustedbymymate]

Help! Need ideas for our 2.5 year old who had a four year old brother so we already have lots of stuff.

Already have
Duplo
Train sets
Magnatiles
Bike
Scooter
Books
Eisle
Play doh.

He's quite boisterous but does like trains etc.

Help me. Thanks

Hobbycraft’s large colour-in cardboard playhouses are great fun for that age and very good value.

This play mat was a big hit with my DS https://www.amazon.co.uk/Childrens-Village-Farm-City-Rug/dp/B07G2MZXC7

We have a nearly 3 year old with a 6 year old brother so are in a similar predicament! He has the following on his list:
The new Julia Donaldson book
A cat squishmallow
A recorder (because clearly, I hate myself, my husband and our neighbours)
Bath bombs
Play parachute
Asda have PJs with all the Julia Donaldson characters on, so he has a couple of those on his list
Paint sticks
A new backpack for nursery - he's requested a baby shark one
A toy till
Some magnetic games from the early learning centre
A bat warmie
A toy hairdressing set
Some bath toys
Some practical things like a new coat, puddlesuits, wellies, etc.

We've also asked for joint things for our boys as well. Specifically, stuff to build forts with and vouchers for days out.
But yes. It's so much harder with the second one. And really all they want to do is play with what the older one has anyway 😂🤦‍♀️

Ive just ordered boxing gloves and pads for my 3 and 5 year old! They love wearing my boxing gloves and play fighting.

@InnerPlop A RECORDER???! You are a far better person than me.

@oustedbymymate 😂😂😂 I feel like there'll be severe regrets come boxing day. But his big bro is learning at school so he wants to copy.
DH is also concerned! Lols!

Kitchen (or a mud kitchen)
Play house
Dressing up things
Ride on something or other
Push chair and baby
Hobby horse

We brought my LB the Vtech marble rush starter for his 2nd birthday and he loves it, so we’re gonna expand it with one of the bigger sets for Christmas.

Also he has a train set but it’s pretty basic so again we’re gonna buy some bits to make this more exciting

@DoublePasta yes I was thinking baby. Any recommendations for a nice one? Maybe a soft one not fully plastic?

There's Baby Stella.
