ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS TODDLER GIFT GUIDE (2-3 Years Old) 2022 ✨🎁 | HomeWithShan

[@justcallmejen2]

My top gifts for 2 year olds.... Magnetic tiles, Lego Duplo, magnets of any kind i.e. books with magnetic pieces, play doh and kinetic sand (if passed the eating everything stage 😉), jigsaw puzzles (4, 8, 12, 16ish piece packs). These things kept us going with our 2 year old during lockdown! And our second son who was born Sept 2020 is now enjoying these things too 🙂xxx

[@rebeccahall3884]

You can't go wrong with playdough sets, kinetic sand, Fort building kit, playmags and a scooter! Play kitchens are great too. And role play toys like dolls, dress up, doctors kit, vet kit. All very loved by my nearly 3 year old. Orchard games do little board games for ages 2 plus as well and my little girl likes puzzles too! 🙂

[@HomeWithShan]

These are all such GREAT ideas! Thank you so much 🤎

[@kimberleyjones2980]

I would recommend a wooden kitchen too, I know George has one but it’s a fab present idea and can pick them up cheap from places like Asda and Aldi, my little one has one and we always buy a new accessory for it on occasions, like a toaster, tea set, biscuit box etc Aldi does fab wooden bits for play food too xxxx

Brio is the ones that designed the trian-track-system that most wooden train-sets use now adays. IKEA also has tracks that fits the brio system. I played with Brio all my childhood, my 15y older brothers kids have played with the same tracks plus some additional ones and now my 2y old son is absolutely loving them! So they last generations and tons of use. We have enough to build through our whole apartment, but I've still got some new tunnels on his wishlist. He played with a simple setup since he was 1y. You can get endless sets/parts for it. Our son also loves his Vtech TootToot drivers cars and garage. But his most loved toys are from the playkits from Lovevery, so thats what he got for his bday and will get for Christmas from us. Lastly our son loves his playkitchen + coffee maker (we get 'coffee' from him every day), his pushbike, playsand/kinetic sand, books and balance toys like bObles DK. Ps we're litterally looking at adding the same books as you mentioned, and our sons are about the same age ;)

This video has been so helpful! My little girl is 18 months old, we’ve just got her a balance bike for christmas too! I’ve got her lots of role play wooden food play sets ❤

[@Elleburtonlife]

My little boy was 2 at the end of August and he’s absolutely obsessed with hot wheels! Loves building the tracks and making tracks with loops etc in. He’s also not the gentlest of toddlers but they with stand🤣 also the way to play road is such a good investment- it goes literally everywhere!xx

[@amymocsari3775]

I definitely recommend the lego duplo train sets, they are so easy to put together and come with loads of extras to make it even bigger and more exciting. The trains have lights and sounds too and can be controlled by an app. My son got it for his 3rd birthday and still plays with them now he's 5. Xx

[@georginakenna2428]

Thanks, already finished my shopping for my toddler but so helpful for ideas to give others when they ask!

[@mailarps]

I think kitchen sets are also good gifts, it keeps him occupied for hrs, my son loves playing with blenders, and to imitate cutting vegetables.

[@charlotteerwin8360]

Thank you! I was on the fence about the toot toot garage but I'm sold now 😁

[@lizzycooper7536]

Thank you for such lovely ideas,my 2 grandchild will love lots of these things, 20 month and 21months .

[@shahrzadvos4376]

Thanks for your gift guide! I'll buy a garage and the cars for my toddler

[@AnniSpanni]

Love this! Loads of good ideas. Thank you! Brio do starter sets for younger children, which are still fully connectable to the sets for older children, so you can expand with the more intricate stuff later. They are such amazing sets. My boy will be 2 in December and I’m going to get him the younger toddler starter set for his birthday.

[@HomeWithShan]

Aw amazing! Maybe I will have another look at the brio sets! Thank you ♥️

[@melann6791]

Toot toot drivers are amazing. Magnetic tiles and animal figurines are firm favourites in our household for the past few years

[@thechloeturnbull]

Needed to see this video. Great ideas ordered the tablet, garage and mega block train for a 13 month old little boy for Xmas. Thank you xx

[@HomeWithShan]

Aw amazing! So glad you liked it! ♥️

[@Smoe1234]

Aldi have some lovely train sets in store and online at the moment, only £15

[@Jess-ti6dl]

Monkey Puzzle is my fave Julia Donaldson book ever! I've got my 18 month old some Toot Toot drivers and a wooden train set, hoping he loves them as much as George does 🤞🏻 off to order the writing tablet now!x

[@HomeWithShan]

Aww I hope he loves them too! 🥹🤎

[@LifeWithTheLovedays]

Awesome gift ideas!! Got some ideas for my 3 year old!

[@simplethings7557]

You can also get some of the Julia Donaldson books like the gruffalo and room on the broom as flap / push & pull slider books. My LO also recently turned 2. We have a mix of both but he still loves books that do things or are touch ones. Definitely agree with all the rest on the trains set as well. We got one last year (mostly because me and my sister wanted an excuse to play) but he’s just starting to get really into the trains now as well 🚂😊

[@shelleyj210]

I echo using FB Marketplace. I’d say 70% of my son’s toys are from there or charity shops. Definitely worth a look, esp around this time of year as people have clear outs before Christmas xx

[@CharlotteShingler]

Thank you for this! i have a one year old so I can get some of these things that'll last for a year!

[@carlarue87]

Brio and John Lewis are compatible, we have a mixture of both, honestly quality is the same x

[@kerrysales4654]

I don't know why but I hate monkey puzzle 🙈🤣 I prefer Room on the Broom and Scarecrows wedding

[@angelagrace4335]

I love watching these videos! I have a LG who was 2 in September also❤ thinking of getting her the balance bike, I got her the busy train book for Xmas it has ridges in the pages and you get a wind up train with it that goes round the track I’m excited for that! George would like that if he loves train tracks 😊 also the mess free colouring sets are really good I have those aswell! Xxx

[@rinainlondon8]

omg ur background is amazing

[@ZDGrant123]

all those train sets are compatable with each other, you can combine all the bits. Also check out smyths as they have a couple of big sets from the brand squirrel play for cheap, that are also compatable

[@HomeWithShan]

Yeah that’s the good thing! ♥️♥️

[@mailarps]

My son is exactly the same age as George and behaves the exact same way, so thanks for all your videos, I love watching you both! I am definitely buying the toot toot garage, I bought the balance bike from Marketplace and he loves it, also, my son is still reading board books(chika chika boom boom and hungry caterpillar are favs), good to learn he can move on to Julia Donaldson, I have the whole set that I bought for my daughter few years back…I am going to start reading them to him! TBH, I think they are too “wordy”, cave baby is probably simpler…”room on the broom” is quite descriptive, I also fear he might tear the pages! Question- how do we put up a Christmas tree? I think he will just pull it down!

[@annanedved3368]

Such a helpful guide, thanks so much! Lots of great ideas

[@sandracosgrove8970]

Thankyou!! 🤗

[@karenwilliams733]

Are you not using whirli anymore?

[@HomeWithShan]

Not anymore, no xx

[@karenwilliams733]

@@HomeWithShan is that because you don’t think it’s worth it anymore? I was planning on getting my kids the year subscription as part of their Christmas presents but you’re the reason I was going to in the first place so if you don’t think it’s worth it anymore I don’t want to waste my money😳

[@HomeWithShan]

@@karenwilliams733 i’d still really recommended giving Whirli a go for sure! Such a great way to save money on toys! Xxx

[@karenwilliams733]

@@HomeWithShan What made you stop then?x

[@nkayie]

Love this. ❤️. Had in mind to get my toddler a train set and balance bike. But I'm definitely adding the books, and the 2 drawing sets. Like you I'm tired of scrubbing my walls Xx

[@hannahludlam7946]

[@HomeWithShan]

Amazing! I will take a look at your video now ♥️

[@TheKeatleys]

Thank you ❤️

[@clairemartin3042]

Been waiting for this video yay loved it. Definitely adding the LCD drawing Dino for my one that’s great. An idea for toy I’ve got my son Gonge stepping river stones, great for balance and co-ordination also can stack them. My son who’s 20 months loved them at a play group so I’ve added them to his list. The Range sell them and not on the high street around £50. Check them out and please shout out to me if you do decide to get them would love to know your thoughts x

[@HomeWithShan]

Aw thank you so much for the recommendation! I’ll deffo have a look! ♥️

[@caroldobbin7558]

[@tonymontana-ei9qr]

you make a video about toy reviews yet you dont show us the toys. bad review

[@emmalouise8001]

This was super handy! Although my 2 year old boy doesn’t seem to pay attention to drawing or anything creative 🫤 he just likes to jump off stuff! 😂
