They aren't tea party people, they like stuff (I still love the magazine subscription suggestion though), and the play food ideas may hurt their feelings. We're going with magnatiles (apparently he's heard of these) and sidewalk chalk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745801 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 16:15:57 +0000 youboots 2745801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD love magnatiles </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745800 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 16:14:44 +0000 mauxie 2745800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>kitchen stuff, duplos, play doh set, dress up stuff (occupations, not just princess-y stuff), doctor kit. my kids also really love the melissa and doug ice cream set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745644 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 10:56:36 +0000 PinkElephant 2745644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The B Toys "stackadooos" (bristle blocks) are a great two year old gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745633 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 10:24:55 +0000 SweetiePie 2745633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: agree. My son also loves the cutting sets M&amp;D makes. Veggies and fruit with wooden knives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745624 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 10:11:51 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2745624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 3 in September - he adores anything related to his play kitchen, including a tea set. He love to set the table, cook us food, etc... he used to use empty boxes to "pour us drinks" which is why he got a tea set for the holidays.</p> <p>I know not every little one is as into the kitchen as he is, but we love it. </p> <p>Another clutter-free idea is a subscription to National Geographic Little Kids or similar magazine. You can pick one up at the bookstore to give in person, with a note explaining the subscription since the first issue won't arrive in time. DS LOVES when he gets one in the mail, we read it a few times, he rips it apart, and we recycle it.</p> <p>Also: for summer, maybe a big set of sidwalk chalk with tons of different colors? and some bubbles too for fun outdoor play? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745619 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 10:03:46 +0000 looch 2745619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: And they have no gender norms associated with them AND they're character free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745608 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 09:40:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2745608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Yes and its great for people wanting to reduce clutter in the house. Use the art supplies up and then they are gone and out of your house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745603 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 09:29:50 +0000 looch 2745603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about art supplies? I feel like you can never have enough and there are so many cool things out there to explore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745602 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 09:28:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2745602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yes!

Melissa and Doug make an ice cream cone set and a pizza set - you can make up a cone or a pie with your pick of toppings and serve. It's kinda like a tea party but more gender neutral and still interactive to play with mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745571 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 09:01:28 +0000 Rocker2014 2745571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter really loved receiving a set of simple hand puppets at that age. They were animals (Melissa and Doug, I think) and I thought at the time that they would be a great gift for someone I didn't know well.</p> <p>ETA: These:<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Farm-Friends-Puppets/dp/B00JBIY0MG" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Farm-Friends-Puppets/dp/B00JBIY0MG</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745566 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 08:58:52 +0000 erinbaderin 2745566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Agreed, my 3.5 year old boy is constantly serving us imaginary tea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745564 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 08:57:46 +0000 Mamaof2 2745564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: just as a side tea parties aren't girly - My DD's 6yr old "boy" friends love them as much as her! Heck even my 8yr old DS asks for a cup of tea when DD is playing :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745558 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 08:49:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2745558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: duplo works! I bet her not-so-hands-on dad would get a kick out of that too</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: ugh, If I knew she was girly and into pretend play a tea set would be perfect!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745504 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 07:34:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2745504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tea party set? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-gift-for-dh-boss-2-yo#post-2745501 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 07:30:40 +0000 jhd 2745501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Duplo gets played with every single day at our house. Our niece loves it too.

Toys drum was a big hit at the little girl's first bday party. What should I get this year?</p> <p>The party is next Saturday. We have Prime, but I'd love an excuse to visit Target. The two year old stays at home with her mom. Are there any good interactive gifts you can think of they could enjoy together? The only other thing I know is that the little girl hated swim classes. </p>
