At Chirstmas we try to do the 4 present rule-
Something you want
Something you need (with the little ones this is usually a more educational toy like puzzles, or a talking globe with geography information)
Something to wear- generally something more fun than the basics
Something to read- or for little ones audiobooks, or music
Some ideas:
Play kitchen with food- we have had endless hours of cooking fun for years now.
Babydolls and beds, clothes, etc.
Wooden Blocks
Puzzles
Coloring or craft sets. These are a huge hit!
Dress up clothes- usually I stock up on these at a childrens resale store, after halloween sale, or a thrift store. Think sequins and feather boas and tutus.
In California we don’t have to worry much about cold and snow, so we often do a bike, scooter, etc. In MN, you might think sled, or maybe if you have space an indoor trampoline. They have them with handlebars and enclosures for indoors as well as out.
