Every time a birthday or holiday comes around, I know my kids are going to get more toys than they know what to do with. Admittedly, their bedroom is overflowing with ponies, cars, dolls, dinosaurs… you name it.
Yes, they love playing with their toys and yes, they love getting new ones, but I would much prefer that when they receive gifts they get anything but a toy.
The hard part is, when you head out in search of a gift for a toddler, sometimes its hard to think of something creative outside the toy aisle. I love finding new great gifts for kids that don’t involve toys, so I came up with a huge list especially for toddlers. (affiliates included)
