Gifts for Toddlers

(Dec.07.09)
Toddlers are a curious and picky bunch and buying a gift can be so hit and miss. Who better to help a toddler’s parents than toddlers themselves? We let our little ones flip through a stack of catalogs to take the guesswork out of shopping. Then we peppered the choices with items we thought were too cute to pass up.

Get the party started with a swipe or a scribble! Color Me a Song turns a child’s doodle into music and the faster the draws, the faster the beat – be it country, rock, salsa or swing.

Tag Junior Book Pal
We love the LeapFrog Tag Learning System for preschoolers. It makes long car trips so much easier knowing our big kid can “read” for himself. Now his little sister has a chance to do some reading of her own with a toddler version of the popular toy, including age-appropriate board books and chunkier pen for better handling.
$30, Toys R Us

Plan Toys is known for its environmentally friendly, non-toxic toys and the xylophone is no exception. Colorful, durable and eye-catching, the xylophone helps kids learn eye-hand coordination, colors and musicality.

Discovery Dome
Shape-sorting, ball-playing, flipping, peeking, the discovery dome has activities inside and out for little ones to, well, discover. And when the playing is done, the dome folds up for easy storage.

’Twas the Night Before Christmas
The classic holiday tale gets a modern twist with AniMotion technology. Shooting stars dart through the night sky, sugarplums dance and santa’s belly jiggles like that bowlful of jelly. Kids will want to read the story again and again, and Mom and Dad will keep moving each page ever so slowly trying to figure out just how those pictures move.
