Joint gift for 2 and 5 year old

[Lonestar1988]

Hello,

I think I am pretty much sorted in terms of individual gifts for my children but I am looking to get them a joint gift that they can share together. They already have mud kitchen/outdoor toys etc so I was thinking maybe an indoor den building kit. I have had a quick look online and they look quite flimsy. Does anyone have any recommendations? Or ideas of something that they can enjoy together.
Thank you 🎄

Things that our kids both played with for years (and were also very popular with visiting friends):
Indoor teepee e.g. https://www.gltc.co.uk/products/play-teepee-blue-stripe
Ikea kitchen
A puppet theatre/market stall e.g. https://amzn.eu/d/3OfwZVH

Thank you so much I hadn’t thought of a teepee but thats a great idea.

Not sure if they still do it but DS loved his circus ring indoor pop up tent from IKEA

A game that they can play together, like giant jenga or 3d snakes and ladders

My kids also loved their teepee.

Just seen that Asda have a small circus tent on BF fir less than £15

Funny bunny game or twister

Mine are older, but for joint presents, in addition to a couple of board games, I've got them the Casdon Build a Bear stuffing station:

Stuffing station

It comes with two bears and you can buy replacement sets.

I’ve bought my 2 (nearly 3) and 5 year olds a gymnastics bar and mat as a joint present. They’re also both getting extra Connetix magnetic tiles as they both use them so much and we need more to avoid arguments, so that’s an option.

Thank you so much for the brilliant ideas. My kids would love a gymnastics bar. I am just working out where I could store it x

I’ve got mine (same ages) hot wheels kits from Facebook marketplace with the idea being the hot wheels can be a joint collection of toys moving forward rather than something just one or the other has that they have to share. Then the cars for stocking fillers.

A massive box of magnatiles. Or playdoh. . Air dry clay kits. Toy robot. Walkie talkies (though youngest might be too small for these). Lego.
den building kits can be tricky as you need to follow the instructions carefully and put the poles in the right lettered hole. Needs a lot of adult help

Mine (1.5 and just turned 5) are getting a wooden ice cream shop playset as an addition to their kitchen. The kitchen is the item they play with the most :)

Another vote for magnetic tiles. Or more magnetic tiles, if you already have some. We may have been around this circle a few times now (some were individual birthday gifts), and they still are getting more this year as their joint gift at 6 and almost 4.

If you have some already, if you can get some of the bigger squares and triangles, that lets you build much bigger structures. I know Connetix and Magnatiles do these, not sure about other brands.
