bluephinGetting Ready for Christmas
December 1st 2008 05:43
Christmas time is almost here - time to share that Christmas cheer!
This is the first Christmas in my toddlers' life when (I think) they would be more appreciative of gifts. This time, they would be big enough to recognize opening of presents and letting out a "wow!" when they see what we prepared for them.
So what would I be giving them this year? It is pretty easy, though, because I have an idea to base it from. Both my little ones are just crazy about The Wiggles and they also find enjoyment in doodling.
I decided not to give them toys (like trucks, cars or action figures) because at this point they would just end up as clutter on our floors. For both of them, I got a car activity set from Identity Direct. It is like a portfolio that can be easily strapped at the back of a car seat so they can draw endlessly while we are on the road. Its got pockets that can hold crayons and pens and the case opens up with a sturdy tray that they can use as a drawing table. They can even use it if they are not in the car and the kit being like an open-up bag their drawing stuffs would always be stashed cleanly away when not in use. I got one for each of them so they don't have to fight with one kit. I would be printing out heaps of coloring pages which I can download and print from different kids' web pages.
And as for the Wiggles part of it, I got them a set of activity and coloring books with the Wiggles characters on it. I also got them a pair of Wiggles thongs and a TV Series DVD to keep them entertained for hours and hours.
These gifts are just simple. They are not big train sets or expensive remote controlled cars, but I am 100% sure that this year's set of gifts would certainly earn a couple of "wow!" and "yey!" from them.
