Super cheap.i got that for my niece when she was 3 and she loved it. She's 10 now and it's still holding strong for her little brother. ;)</p> <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: maybe keep an eye on a groupon like deal? Zoo is expensive too but it's her birthday! I'm bummed because I missed a bogo for the zoo just a few weeks ago!</p> <p>@mrsjazz: I sooo wanted to have a party so we can invite her daycare friends! Oh well. Next year for her third we'll hopefully be in a spot to throw a big party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515865 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:46:05 +0000 jhd 1515865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: ooh the play doh and dress up clothes are a great idea. i have another niece who will be 3 in june so i'm going to keep those ideas in mind! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515803 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:11:15 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1515803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue! I don't think I want a party. I wanted to go to the zoo with the grandparents, but he was born in August, and it is so hot! So maybe aquarium? But that is so expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515795 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:06:50 +0000 mrsjazz 1515795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: That sounds like a great day. The zoo is a good idea. I wish LO had a bunch of daycare friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515774 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:46:52 +0000 regberadaisy 1515774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not having a party this year. I really struggled with this but after the layoff I'm really glad we're not! </p> <p>We're going to have a nice family day at the zoo. I plan to bake a Daniel tiger cake using the recipe Sarah Crowder recently shared! For dinner we'll invite my ILs over. Making her favorite meal of homemade spaghetti with a homemade pasta sauce.. :)</p> <p>When she goes to daycare on Tuesday I'll bake some cupcakes to to take in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515761 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:40:37 +0000 mrsjazz 1515761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Awesome! I think I forget about the good old back to basic gifts sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515754 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:37:40 +0000 loveisstrange 1515754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: We just got C her first PlayDoh for on the plane and she is completely obsessed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515748 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:35:53 +0000 mrsjazz 1515748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: Good idea on the puzzles. We always buy her books, so I will buy her something off her list. I was just looking online and I think we will also buy her some PlayDoh (can't believe she doesn't have any!) and some a dress up outfit, since she loves frilly, girly dresses and anything sparkly (I don't know how the hell that happened since her mom does NOT wear dresses). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515743 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:30:39 +0000 jhd 1515743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: When my niece was that age I got her puzzles and books. (She always ends up with lots of toys!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515738 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:27:13 +0000 loveisstrange 1515738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having a fairly sizable party (but casual) about a month after her birthday, after we get back to the states. We're going to rent a park and BBQ/potluck it and invite all of our family and friends. It's going to be sort of a birthday/welcome home party, I think.</p> <p>We're not doing much on her actual birthday, to be honest. </p> <p>As for a gift, she's getting a play kitchen and food after we get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1515729 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:22:35 +0000 mrsjazz 1515729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this up. We are having a small party for family at our apartment. We will probably do a play date for LO and her BFF in the morning with some breakfast and balloons, nap time, and then have family come over at 3.</p> <p>I'm going to do a chocolate cake with red frosting and a small Elmo pennant &amp; red balloons. Probably make baked ziti &amp; a salad for the family.</p> <p>We have no idea what we are going to buy her as a gift this year since we got her a play kitchen for Christmas. Any ideas on gifts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1436773 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 13:28:28 +0000 Mrsbells 1436773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: that's so cute, my sister and I are born in the same month too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1418893 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 19:06:39 +0000 luckypenny 1418893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, DD turns 2 at the end of April and baby #2 is due April 4! AH! So I think we're just going to do something simple at her favorite park. I'm thinking brunch - bagels, fruit salad and a donut cake? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-ideas-for-a-two-year-old#post-1418854 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 18:44:25 +0000 Mrsbells 1418854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the spring 2012 mamas what are you guys doing for your LO's 2nd birthday? I want to bake her a cake or tower or muffins, but not really sure exactly what I want. Any ideas? </p>
