2 year old birthday gift?!
hey all...here is a post without drama! yay!
I just have a question for anyone with toddlers....what do 2 year old girls like/want? my friend's kiddo is turning two and I won't be able to be there for the party but wanted to maybe send something for her? any suggestions? THANKS!
Re: 2 year old birthday gift?!
I suggest a savings bond.
How much stuff do 2 year olds need? A savings bond is much more useful than a stuffed animal or some other toy.
If she's like my 2 year old, she has more gifts than she can play with. A card and a check with a note "for college fund" would be perfect.
Dress up clothes. Keep it simple at that age (just a tutu type skirt, purse, etc) b/c although they LOVE dress up at that age, they aren't capable of dressing themselves and lots of dresses are too long.
Also a big hit (for boys and girls) - step stools with their name in a puzzle. Kids that age love puzzles and they will eventually need a step stool to brush their teeth, wash their hands, etc.
I like to give savings bonds too, but always include a gift the kids can open.
Low cost options:
puzzles (wooden, not anything they can rip apart),
umbrella
tote bag for ballet things or library books
My daughter's favorite gift was this kicka$$ bath toy. It's like a mini fountain with different sprinkler tops. I'll try to find it online and post a link. It rocks!!
Yay! Found it!

I was going to suggest this too. My dd got two of these on her second birthday and she just loves them. She can sit and play with them for an hour at a time.
