Christmas is by far my favorite holiday, and being a parent adds a completely different level of magic to the fun. Reagan will be a few months shy of 2 years old this Christmas and she’s starting to enjoy the process of unwrapping gifts. (Or so I’ve learned watching her try to open other people’s gifts at parties and baby showers…)
We are quickly approaching the big day, and although my gift shopping was just about done this year by Thanksgiving, (I know, who am I??) I tend to leave stockings more until the last minute.
In order to help you get a better jump on it, I put together a list of fun little items that I think a toddler would love to pull out of their stockings on Christmas morning! Hit up the Dollar Spot at Target, the Dollar Store, Walmart, or Amazon if you’d rather stay in PJ’s on your couch.
You know better than I do where your child is developmentally, so some may be more age specific than others…just use your best judgement to determine which are most appropriate. This list is meant to offer inspiration.
