Assembling is part of the fun for my boys. They grab their tools and help DH, even if it's just putting in some batteries. It's pretty cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-wrapping-any-openedassembled-gifts#post-2353933 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:59:59 +0000 Mamaof2 2353933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I just did this yesterday - bought the kids walkie talkies - removed them, added batteries and DH and I used them to make sure they worked - then I put them back in the box! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-wrapping-any-openedassembled-gifts#post-2353909 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:52:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 2353909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we learned quickly after her first birthday and her first Christmas (that she understood, anyway, technically her second) that toddlers have zero patience for opening and assembling toys. we pre-opened/assembled/battery loaded, then put back in the box, anything that needed it last year so she could just unwrap and play quickly! </p> <p>I will do the same this year. I did notice on DD2's Violet that they've actually designed the box now to allow you to program it without opening it - perfect for gifting!! </p>
