Do you think this is A good amount of Christmas Presents for a 2yr old?

We Answered:

I think with your money situation, these are great toys. When my children were little, they would have been happy with 40 toys from the dollar store instead of expensive toys.

I know too how money problems can affect Christmas. We have not bought anyone's Christmas presents yet. I normally buy between $70 and $100 for each of my two children (I don't know if this is normal.)

Plus, I don't know if you do this but I buy a bunch of toys throughout the year. Then, when Christmas comes, they have sooo many toys I can't put away their new toys.

Also, I am sure you will have family buying him toys for Christmas too. This will help too. Also, since it sounds like you spend a lot of time playing with your child, I am sure the stuff you bought will be greatly appreciated. I am pretty sure your little one with think the world of you getting on the floor and playing with the fake food and the Little People.

Good Luck and it sounds like you are a wonderful mother.

Best toy for a 3 year old boy? In England?

We Answered:

I commend you on your efforts to use toys as learning tools. Children are such sponges when they are young and need proper equipment to help them along. I wrote an article about useful and budget-friendly gifts for children in this age group. Hope it helps.

Do you think toddlers need lots of educational toys?

We Answered:

I think Toddlers need an equal amount of educational toys and independent environmental experiences. It's amazing the things you can entertain a toddler with! At 16 months they love to dance to music (maybe educational songs), musical instruments, Playdough, they love to read, Puzzles are great, bubbles, beanbags, crayons. Anything that stimulates motor skills at this age is appropriate. They should be learning how to color, kick, attempting to jump, rocking on a toy horse, the idea of balance (bean bags on head), throw a ball/bounce a ball, using a spoon to eat, just to name a few.
I use to work with one year old's in a pre-school environment. We would also use our imaginations a lot. Imagine what you can do with a box. Pretend your rowing a boat, racing a car, Puppet shows.
Exploring outdoors is most important, this is where they learn about the world, sun, sky, grass. Magnifying glasses are neat, any outdoor exploring toys, or just a bird feeder, so they can watch/explore birds. Just some ideas, hope it helps.
Good Luck,
