Or simply some like to separate milk and water. </p> <p>You def want a real toddler fork. Not a plastic spork. Plates, etc. Maybe even bento boxes if LO goes to daycare and you plan to make his lunch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1287384 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 18:09:55 +0000 birdofafeather 1287384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: what kinds of art supplies? my mom has a ton, so i can definitely raid her stash!</p> <p>@locavore_mama: sun hat is a great idea! we just packed away her last size summer stuff, but it was 75 yesterday and she could have used a hat instead of a beanie!</p> <p>@loveisstrange: would you say forks? we have a bunch of spoons, but i didn't know if she would start using her own forks this year?</p> <p>@locavore_mama: i might add another zoli! i did put the lollacup on there! :) get grandma to buy it instead of me. :)</p> <p>@lilyann: if only we had space for something fun like that!</p> <p>@Mrsjets: MIL got her the drum with a bunch of instruments in it for thanksgiving! (can you tell that i am kinda worried about the number of toys this kid is getting in the next month?!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1286997 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:27:48 +0000 Mrsjets 1286997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think straw cups and divided plates/cutlery are needs that she will use more this year.</p> <p>I also think that musical instruments and craft supplies are more educational toys that she should be getting into. DS's only real Christmas gift this year at 19 months is a 36 key xylophone - I put play doh and finger paint in his stocking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1286967 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:18:17 +0000 loveisstrange 1286967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Yeah, we're probably going to build one too. I can't justify the price for what it is. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1286956 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:15:03 +0000 regberadaisy 1286956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: at this rate I'm going to have DH make a hack out of a Ikea stool. I just can't afford $200 for the Little Partners one. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1286954 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:14:52 +0000 lilyann 1286954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: They don't seem to be very popular where I live :sad: I finally bit the bullet when RightStart had them on sale for 15% off, plus free shipping and no tax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1286953 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:14:37 +0000 mrsjyw 1286953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>learning tower, kitchen, water table, sandbox, art easel &amp; art supplies, bike (we got the radio flyer 4 in 1), cozy coupe, shopping cart, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1286950 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:14:20 +0000 loveisstrange 1286950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: @locavore_mama: I want one too! I was going to do it for Christmas but with us moving back to the States in 4 months... it didn't make sense to buy it and then pack it away for 2 months.</p> <p>Hopefully when we get back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1286943 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:12:04 +0000 regberadaisy 1286943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: I really really really want one for LO.

My daughter is obsessed with hers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1286875 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 14:57:28 +0000 regberadaisy 1286875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would add shoes in the next one or two sizes. A pair of rainboots, rain coat.</p> <p>Sunscreen, sun hat, swim suit? Inflatable pool if you have room? A trike?</p> <p>I wouldn't say these are absolute needs but def nice to have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gear-for-1-2-years-old#post-1286869 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 14:54:47 +0000 birdofafeather 1286869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So as we enter into Christmas and then a couple weeks later, DD's 1st birthday, I've made a wish list for toys and clothes that I've been wanting, but realized that I don't have any needs on there because I don't know what she needs coming up! I did some searches, but didn't really come up with anything! i want to be able to give the grandparents some needs instead of getting 20 toys and accessories! :)</p> <p>We already have a convertible car seat and some walking shoes for her since she's been on the move. I'm a WAHM so she doesn't need any day care stuff.</p> <p>What do you suggest for gear for this next age range we're headed into? </p>
