DD loved sitting it in before she could actually pedal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-991477 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 19:33:44 +0000 shopaholic 991477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had to google th activity cube too! Wow! How long do they enjoy those? Space-wise is an issue for me. I think the play kitchen will get much more playtime IMO. </p> <p>Love the chair idea too! I'm hoping to get a chair for K for Xmas, and we received a hand me down play kitchen. For her first birthday I might want to get her a mini table and chairs to play tea parties and draw, read, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-991475 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 19:33:21 +0000 chopsuey 991475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: woohoo! lucky girl! :)<br /> I'm saving the kitchen for when we move into our new house. Next spring! </p> <p>I'm gonna do a Zany Zoo and anywhere chair for J's 1st too. I'm actually hoping the grandparents will buy them for him :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-991471 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 19:31:00 +0000 MrsMccarthy 991471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you want me to ill send you our wish list on your wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-991466 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 19:28:18 +0000 autumnlove 991466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought her a puzzle and swing seat.

I am gonna go with the activity cube and anywhere chair for her birthday, and the corner kitchen for Christmas or another big event . . . *I* don't think I can wait until she's two! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-991139 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 17:12:24 +0000 chopsuey 991139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 1 my daughter loved her anywhere chair and she most definitely would have loved a zany zoo and kitchen too! </p> <p>I think the recommended age for kitchens is 2 or 3 so baby R might be a little short for the kitchen. I'm sure she'll love it regardless though! </p> <p>I would do the chair and zany zoo (activity block thing) for her birthday and wait on the kitchen!</p> <p>Can't believe she's almost 1!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-991070 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 16:33:57 +0000 hellocupcake 991070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: @dolphin: Our LO is 6 days before Christmas....we already scheduled her birthday party for the 14th. I've been thinking of buying the play kitchen we want now in anticipation of how broke we will be (: I haven't even began to think of what to get her for Chris's but this activity cube is creeping it's way to the top of the list (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-990605 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 14:02:25 +0000 Smurfette 990605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do the activity cube for birthday.

That Corner kitchen is really cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-990568 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:52:36 +0000 plantains 990568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got her the anywhere chair and will get her a kitchen for Christmas. I considered activity cube, but have a feeling she won't really play with it.</p> <p>She is obsessed with her chair so I feel like I got pretty good bang for my buck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-990556 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:48:04 +0000 dolphin 990556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lipgloss: that play kitchen is adorable! i vote kitchen! i've always wanted a kitchen growing up but never had one. i am definitely getting one for DD when she's older. </p> <p>@hellocupcake: @petunia354: hello birthday month twins! my LO is turning one 5 days before christmas. i have a feeling we're all gonna be go broke in december! lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-990554 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:47:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 990554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crazy, we are planning on both of those things, an activity cube from Target &amp; the PBK chair! And we are planning on getting her a kitchen for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-990545 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:44:53 +0000 littlek 990545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Well, I think it all depends on what type of meals that R is going to be making and whether she will need the additional counterspace. B is more of a cook up some bacon or eggs guy, so he was cool with no counterspace. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-first-birthday#post-990544 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:44:42 +0000 teamjse 990544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got LO a Radio Flyer push car and an activity cube.
