birthday present ideas for a 2 year old girl

[pommie]

My daughters 2nd birthday is coming up on the 2nd march and seeing as she got quite a lot of presents for Christmas I am struggling to think of anything to get her for her birthday. She has the usual happyland toys which she plays with occasionally but if anyone has any ideas of good presents for a 2 year old girl, suggestions would be appreciated

A big cardboard box made into a play house.

My daughter is about to turn 3 and the toys she's played with the most over the last year have been:

Dolls and the dolls pushchair

Drawing and sticking stuff

Doctors kit

Jigsaw puzzles in the last 4-5 months.

Scooter!

Oh and she loves all the toy food and tea sets, does loads of pretending to feed and water various dolls and teddies and us and pretending to be in a cafe etc.

My daughter got a mini micro scooter for her 2nd birthday, she also loved at that age her toy garage, baby's pushchair, duplo?

sorry meant to say she has dolls, pushchairs, drawing stuff and a scooter!!

Duplo and toy food are a hit in our house. My son also loves his train set and his tea set.

We have a lovely emma bridgewater teaset which I would recommend, they do it in jojo with the heart pattern and you can get a spots pattern online.

Tea set, doctors set, dressing up stuff, Mr Potato Head.

My daughters most played with toy during this age was her tea sets, she had a china one and a tin one. Never failed to amuse!

We did get Bugglet a cardboard playhouse for her 2nd birthday - was fab as it didn't cost anywhere near as much as many of the playhouses, and could be "decorated" by bugglet as she chose. We did up grade to this one:

For her birthday this year - both pack up easily if not wanting to have them out all the time.

As above really, kitchen stuff (pots, pans etc), baking equipment (play or real so you can do it together), ironing board (no stereotypes here but she loved it!) kettle, tea set, blackboard and chalks, sticker books, playmobil figures and accessories, pop up books, play food, large piece jigsaws, puppets/puppet theatre, dressing up clothes?

I have the same issue for my now 3 yr old, she had a load of stuff for Xmas and we were a bit stumped especially as she is still playing with the same kinda of toys she did over the last year but she gets bored of them easily, erm...a new iron!? We've gone for a vtech digital camera and a CD player, very grown up.

My daughter is a couple of weeks younger than yours and loves tea set, play food, scooter, art stuff, puzzles and duplo we are having the same issues, my mum pays for her mr tumble magazine each month as a present and we ask for money for swimming lessons (water babies) she had a little wooden cake stand with wooden cakes for Xmas, that was a big hit!

[pommie]

we have the problem where we have a 5 year old daughter so my youngest plays with a lot of her toys which have already been mentioned above. Still stumped but guess I will have to keep thinking

maybe just get her clothes etc then or a selection of small treats like stickers, extra bits to go with toys she already has, etc? if you really want her to have a big present you could always put the money aside and get her something midway through the year when you see something you know she would really like.

we realised after xmas that actually what we need is a play kitchen!!!! and have just bitten the bullet and ordered one as i am about to have no. 2 and am hopeful that it will occupy him when i am busy with the baby and all the kitchen-y stuff that comes along with a newborn and then weaning infant.

something we have recently got as a family present is an adult scooter and i have to say that has made a big impact on our outings - my son loves to scoot after his dad on the big scooter so it has made him use his scooter a lot more (and a lot more skilfully). hopefully i will be able to join in once i have my balance back!
