What would you put in a kit about...

[Traci Reed]

Toddlers?

I'm in the planning stages of my next winner for the Create-A-Kit contest and now's your chance to help me out and customize the kit to what you need! Lay it on me!

[Milmomma]

I have two of those! I could make you a list-

Blanket
Bear
Sippy cup
mini backpack
socks(we have loads of random socks everywhere!)
cars
purses
blocks
puzzles
threads(my kids love to pick up threads and give them to me, like its a lovely rose.)
dolls
shoes
hats(my kids love hats)
night light
baby gate
keys(maybe plastic looking ones)
toy phone
little hair cips
crayons/paper


I'm totally digging the labeled words, a few of those describing toddlers would be neat. And stitching, I love all your stitching.
I'm sure I could come up with more but that about sums our life.

Sippy cup, gold fish crackers, little trike or cozy coup car. Maybe some kind of baby gate. Kid with a blankie. Just thinking about what I remember from the toddler years. These were all very much a part of daily life for us.

My "baby" is turning 15 months old in a few days - and got his very first haircut today... so I can't wait to see what you come up with!

He loves goldfish, blocks, cellphone, stuffed animals, toy cars, ride on toy, play vacuum, a little dog that has a little string you pull along and it plays music...

He doesn't like to be fed - so eating is a fun - messy task!

And just because I think his expression is just adorable here --- here is Diego

[coopert]

A little kid piano. Do they call it a xylephone. Where there are about 10 keys made of metal and the kid hits each metal key with a little mallet.

When my kids were little they loved their rocking horses from about a year all the way til they were five or so. They loved Cheerios and Goldfish crackers. Sippy cups of course. Toy phones were huge. They loved to pretend to call people. They loved having bubble baths and blowing bubbles outside. They also loved sandboxes and sand toys. Dolls and cars were favorite toys as were blocks and lincoln logs. Oh and my daughter loved to string beads on yarn. Like those big wooden beads. Think thats about all I can think of.

A potty chair, car seat (don't know about you but I have lots of photos of my kids in the car!) band aids, dolls, stuffed animals, balls, my toddlers loved to dance so some kind of musical notes and instruments like maracas, drums, etc. Blocks! Those are just some ideas. This kit sounds awesome

[emmasmommy]

dress up clothes. my toddler is WAY into pretend heels and her princess dresses. musical instruments. word art like, explore, amaze, smile, laugh, trouble.

[heathergw]

mine likes Paci, mega blocks, his stuffed doggie (he's not a blankey kid though), his little riding scooter, blocks, shape sorters, Paci, crackers, instruments, tools, did I mention Paci? lol.

[livelys]

...don't forget scribbles, splats (thinking juice/ jam) and mud!

[Sue Setiadji]

I reckon some destroyed items wouldnt go astray - some chewed or torn playing cards - sorry Im thinking toddler destroyer but I know there were more cutsie moments!

Playdough was always a blast - all those cookie cutters from the baking draw got a great workout. - Playdough cars, flowers, snails, Spaghetti strings etc.

Thats my quickie thoughts - it was a while ago now!

I second that! Dress-up clothes would be awesome!!

[Traci Reed]

whoo thanks girls!! seems like there's lots of different kit ideas in this thread! LOL

[rach3975]

Ooh, yeah! I can't wait for this kit. Here are some of my ideas.

Emotions all over the place--faces or word art with smiles, laughing, exubrance, pouting, anger, tantrum, tears, tired, sweet, etc.

Messy things--a scatter of thrown food/cheerios, destroyed/chewed items like mentioned earlier (major book and paper rippers here)

Musical toys
ride ons
sippy cups
dolls and stuffed animals
stacking cups or blocks
toy cars
crib and bed for the transition to big kid beds
something about first words or beginning to talk
exploration/discovery word art
a potty
child climbing on things they shouldn't

[MamaBee]

I don't know about the awesome threes... more like the trying threes here... LOL!

Potty training, tricycle, learning his alphabet (my kid is HUGE into letters and numbers... would love a block letter set like the ol' Fisher Price ones with the magnets??) All type of building blocks and pegs... puzzles... loves puzzles and books. Training pants, "big kid now", sippy cups, strollers, cozy coupe, crib to toddler bed, divider plates, snack cups, blankets, playing with pots and pans, all the bags that you haul around every where... pack and play, booster seat, step stool to wash hands and brush teeth...

[MandaT]

bandaids (because any little owie can be fixed with a fancy bandaid),
wash cloth (because it's an essential item..everyday!),
toddler bed/big kid bed,
books,
coloring supplies,
spilled milk,
overflowing cereal bowl
swingset/swings,
dolls/tractors/trucks/bikes,
carseat/booster,
toothbrush (that gets used 100 times a day),
sippy cup/toddler plate/silverware
cheerios/goldfish/fruit snacks
tattered blankie or stuffed animals
dirt/mud
bubbles
dress up /pretend clothes
stroller
mismatched shoes/socks


word art: all by myself (or at our house "by mine-own self"),
No,
I can do it,
let me try,
why,
howcome,
whats that

[calliclaire]

Wow...I think all of my ideas are covered in the other posts but my daughter's favorite sayings are:
"but I WANT to" and "I want a snack"

Pretty much sums up a toddler to me. And she loves Dora, books, dolls, pegs, blocks, puzzles, bubbles, tricycle...the list is endless

Good luck - can't wait to see this kit!

ditto- i can't remember what you say for "one" but i like "trying threes" when they want to learn to do everything themselves!

and definitely puzzles!!!!
