Like one year she set up an electric train she bought us around the tree and another year she set up a huge dollhouse with all the furniture and stuff! It was fun! I plan on doing the same for my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/removing-packaging-on-gifts-for-younger-kids#post-1280100 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 13:50:17 +0000 MsLipGloss 1280100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Having spent one Christmas opening countless boxes of toys and their seemingly endless accessories, all of which were, of course, individually attached to some part of the packaging in such as way as to require scissors and/or pliers to remove for my nieces . . . yeah, I will do as much as I can beforehand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/removing-packaging-on-gifts-for-younger-kids#post-1280081 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 13:45:11 +0000 looch 1280081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mentioned this in another thread, but yes, we unbox and assemble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/removing-packaging-on-gifts-for-younger-kids#post-1280060 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 13:36:30 +0000 autumnlove 1280060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prob going to do this! My brother ordered a wagon walker and we assembled it last night. Maybe we will stick a bow on it when we place it under the tree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/removing-packaging-on-gifts-for-younger-kids#post-1280049 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 13:31:44 +0000 regberadaisy 1280049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I was just thinking about this! I think I'm going to do that with a few items because I don't want her to start playing with all her gifts at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/removing-packaging-on-gifts-for-younger-kids#post-1280045 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 13:29:25 +0000 mediagirl 1280045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you think about taking gifts (like dolls or cars or trains) out of their packaging and wrapping them up without it for Christmas? This is for your own lo. I'm thinking that would be easier than her opening a box, then getting frustrated because she can't get to it's contents...anyone else? </p>
