It is cheaper than a full fledged stroller, but 2 year olds might not want to walk much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-need-for-a-two-year-old-girl#post-2869925 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 17:33:22 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2869925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another thought, if this is a foster situation or kinship/NREFM, you might want to see if you can get any info about how much stuff she will be coming with. T came with the onesie he had on, a bottle and a paci. O came with 2 SUV loads of rubbermaid bins and several large baby containers/toys. So you might want to wait for a big shopping spree until you know for sure what she already has! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-need-for-a-two-year-old-girl#post-2869923 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 17:11:24 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2869923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stickers and lots of books and art supplies are awesome for 2 year old girls. And stuffed animals so she can snuggle with them if she's scared/at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-need-for-a-two-year-old-girl#post-2869882 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 13:32:18 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2869882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 2.5. She’s really into her dolls and blocks and art. She loves painting. She also still has a soother and a bottle 😬 so inquire about that too. She just switched to a toddler bed from a crib. She uses a sleep sack but is fine without it too. She also sleeps with white noise (as i am describing her I realize she sounds like a newborn! She’s a diva) </p> <p>Clothes she mostly wears comfy tights and shirts. She’s really into slippers too. Depending on her hair a good brush and detangler might be a good idea. My daughters is short and thin so I need neither for her, but some friends have lots of knot issues with their girls. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-need-for-a-two-year-old-girl#post-2869874 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 13:12:45 +0000 Mrsbells 2869874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mosmith: Regarding food, it really depends on the child. My two year old eats everything we eat. But good snacks to have on hand, apple sauce, raisins, cheese strings, yogurt.<br /> Also have kid floss and kid toothpaste. My 2 year old uses flouride free training toothpaste because he can't spit properly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-need-for-a-two-year-old-girl#post-2869856 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 12:23:03 +0000 SweetCaroline 2869856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A baby doll for sure. Maybe even take her to pick one out at the store herself. </p> <p>@Mrs. Turtle: had amazing suggestions. </p> <p>Mac n cheese, spaghettios, PB&amp;J are traditional kid fare and may help comfort her. Goldfish crackers, Graham crackers, fruit.</p> <p>If you're able a shopping trip with her would be helpful so she can point out her favorite fruits, etc. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-need-for-a-two-year-old-girl#post-2869852 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 12:11:59 +0000 josina 2869852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 year old loves dolls (the Melissa &amp; Doug Jenna doll her is her fav), play food/kitchen, play doh, wood puzzles, and her scooter.<br /> She now refuses to wear footie pajamas and only wears nightgowns, so you might want a few options for pj's.<br /> She's not potty trained yet but does like to use the toilet - so a kid seat for the toilet and maybe some training underwear.<br /> Sippy cups, kid friendly plates/bowls.<br /> She eats whatever we eat, but loves fruit, pizza, mac &amp; cheese, fruit cheerios, oatmeal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-need-for-a-two-year-old-girl#post-2869841 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 11:25:51 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2869841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mosmith: Do you know her, or is it a foster situation? Either way really, kids at that age have a really hard time in a different home with different caregivers. I'd get some super cozy jammies, a fuzzy blanket and a really cool projection nightlight. One of the ones that rotates even. Depending on how close to 3 she is, and how her language is, you could get a couple books about love following you wherever you are. There are several that are great. If there's any way to find out her favorite foods ahead of time, have those stocked even if they're junk. They help a lot with security. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-need-for-a-two-year-old-girl#post-2869839 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 11:09:46 +0000 Anagram 2869839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she potty trained or no? what's your climate like?</p> <p>-You will need clothes and pjs either way. Diapers or panties. Socks, shoes, winter gear (if applicable). A bed and bedding (2 year olds can go either way with crib or real bed). Will she be going to daycare or preschool?</p> <p>Um...snacks and a good refillable straw or sippy cup, but kids like different things so you might take her with you to pick one out or ask what she's been using.</p> <p>And lots of :heart: Good luck! Exciting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-need-for-a-two-year-old-girl#post-2869838 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 11:06:44 +0000 Mosmith 2869838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just found out that we will be taking care of a two year old girl for a few months and I have no idea what I need or what to feed her. Help please! </p>
