2nd birthday present

[RambleOn]

It's my DDs 2nd birthday at the beginning of Oct and I am completely stumped for a present idea.

She already seems to have any obvious contenders - pop-up tent/trike/wheelybug/dolls pushchair/sandpit etc.

Help. Doesn't have to be 'big' or expensive, just something that she'll enjoy.

Craft box? My DS loves sitting and painting, cutting, drawing, sticking, etc..

bubble machine from ELC

Great idea mishy - but I've looked for these before and they all seemed to have small bits in them. She still can't be relied upon not to eat things at the speed of light.

Any idea where I could get a safe one. I suppose I could get a box with compartments in and make up my own.

DS just turned two.

His favourtie presents -

1. large aqua draw - spent hours on it.
2. elc kitchen

Bubble machine's a good one too, but she already got one for Easter. My friends and family are just far too generous

A dog that flips over and barks volia

A tea set

A train set

Blocks (mega or duplo)

A kite

A set of diggers/trucks

A set of baby animals

A garage with ramp for whizzing cars down

An easel with finger paint set

A postbox and letters

A kitchen with food and plates (ELC do a good wooden one)

I second the kitchen - DS loves the one at his nursery more than anything else in the world!

Aqua draw? What's that then?

Kitchen good - does it have a sink? She is constantly harassing me to sit on our draining board and pour water everywhere

Yip - make your own! I bought one of those plastic containers with lids and then went to ELC and bought stuff that was suitable.

Also, a Playdoh set is great fun!

Oh no Slur - she has nearly everything on your list. She's spoilt isn't she

Easel - doesn't have one of these.

V gd, DD plays with it a lot

Yes - Aquadraw is brilliant! look here

Set me straight on the Playdoh thing - it says on the packaging that it's washable.
Is this true?

I am usually not house proud enough to spoil her fun, but the house is shortly going on the market and could do without playdoh in the carpet

Easel is gd, if you get one try and get one where you can hang a roll of lining paper from it.

Nope not the easiest thing to get out of a carpet but we sit at the dining room table which is covered and he has to play on a plastic tray!

That Aquadraw looks great.

Thanks everyone. Have an outline xmas list as well now

kitchen does have a sink, and at the moment is on offer in elc and get a free pot & pan set.

Think someone else explained aqua drwer. they are great and no mess!

the other pressie he loved was a postman pat set, think about £20 from woolies, was for 3 plus but has a van, postman pat, police car etc, and he loves it.

Just had another thought - what about a trolley and groceries?

Dressing up box?

A kitchen sink AND pots and pans!

Trolley and groceries!

Wow - I'm excited now. I'll She'll have great fun with those.

I wish I was 2 again

Arrgh - dressing up box. Great one. She loves prancing around with handbags/glasses/hats.

This is helping me with my Christmas list as well ! Thinking of buying DS a dressing up box!

Just posted this idea on another thread. How about this kitchen?
