We got it for out 4 year old when he turned one. We got so much use out of it. My in laws eventually stored it for us, when we moved about 5 months ago we got it back and my 14 month old loves it! Money well spent!<br /><br />We are going for the Step 2 prepare and share kitchen this year. I had read a review that the brown would be discontinued, I don't mind buying a kitchen for my boys but I draw the line at a pink one. I went ahead and purchased it, now it seems Walmart has it for $30 off on Black Friday.<br /><br />Cooper, who turns 4 tomorrow, is also getting a Firsr Act Discovery drum set. I think I've lost my mind.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345094511331312132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157219456577679232.post-54134490862855170502011-11-18T13:42:33.771-06:002011-11-18T13:42:33.771-06:00I usually set a budget for price per child.

Here are the reasons...they don't slide off as easy as wooden, they are more colorful, and best of all...they make NO noise when they fall or when they throw them in a bucket to clean up. I recommend 2-3 sets!tarheelmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862996064815806890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157219456577679232.post-63666727225852433672011-11-18T10:09:12.531-06:002011-11-18T10:09:12.531-06:00I try to limit our Christmas items list but this y...I try to limit our Christmas items list but this year I keep thinking of things, have not acted upon them, but it is so much easier to get things for my 4 year old it seems. The baby, I have no idea. She has the toys her sister used. So I actually have had my 4 year old pick a special toddler toy out of one of the boxes we have on rotation and we wrapped that. We are getting other things but I was proud of myself for that idea! <br />My 4 year old loves audio books and she is now into chapter books. The only thing is that I prefer chapter books from the library as she wants to hear them over and over again. That was okay with the the children's picture books but I do not want to read the Magic tree house or Cam Jansen more then once!!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520036843631361886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157219456577679232.post-73185572458453403722011-11-18T09:54:33.666-06:002011-11-18T09:54:33.666-06:00I too am so sick of the 1000piece presents!

I asked if that gift included my mom to clean it up every two weeks before the cleaning lady came to vacuum!<br /><br />I'm going to read through all your comments - Henry is 11 and this is the first year his list hasn't consisted of lego kits. I'm going to have to work a little harder for ideas for him this year! <br /><br />Good luck!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461883860600080905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157219456577679232.post-81410965585632938912011-11-18T07:54:56.334-06:002011-11-18T07:54:56.334-06:00Good ideas.

However, I thought I'd leave you a couple of the 'hits' from having a girl. Clearly Amelia is too young right now but I'm sure it doesn't help to have ideas for the future.<br /><br />Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Learning Home<br />http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2265260&CAWELAID=107519127&cagpspn=plat<br /><br />Laugh & Learn Say Please Tea Set<br />http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3304530&prodFindSrc=search<br /><br />Fisher Price Brilliant Basics Walk Along Stroller<br />http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3027470<br /><br />Apparently I could've also titled this "the Fisher Price List." The house came on a recommendation to us from a few families with girls and the stroller was the only stroller I could find that wasn't so flimsy that Gabe would destroy it/break it by sitting on it/etc. Hope this gives you some ideas!Laura and familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347111440313656693noreply@blogger.com
