Gifts for ages 2-3
For some reason, I am already planning out our Christmas shopping! I never like any of the items that they roll put for Christmas items, so I like to get things earlier. Anyway, I have compiled our Christmas list for my toddler, who will be around 2.5 at Christmas. I am definitely not getting her everything on this list, it is more of an idea list for the relatives who ask + some things I am getting her + other ideas for 2.5 year olds.

Update- we got the barn and it really is amazing! Some people have complained about the top slamming and hurting small fingers-- there are two solutions 1) Don't install the hinged piece, as it really is not necessary for play, and ours is left up for the majority of time anyways or 2) Get the large thick felt pads that attach to the bottom of furniture, and attach inside of the panel where small fingers would get pinched- as an added bonus it also makes it much more quiet!
Be sure to check the warehouse deals to save $$
