7 minute read
Fun stocking stuffers are a wonderful way to bring your kiddos some holiday cheer!
Whether you’re looking for a surprising new toy, fun arts and crafts activity, educational games, or the softest lovie… We’ve pulled together some of our favorite stocking stuffers that are sure to surprise and delight your little one on the most magical day of the year (and all year long!).
What Should You Put in Your Toddler’s Stocking?
If you’re wondering what to put in your child’s stocking this Christmas…don’t stress! Literally any gift, toy, or even clothing item can be a stocking stuffer (as long as it fits in your little one’s stocking!).
Musical toys, sensory toys, socks, mittens, arts and crafts supplies, bath toys, lovies, balls, blocks… There are so many fun gift options to delight your little one this holiday season.
What Makes a Good Stocking Stuffer for Toddlers?
The perfect stocking stuffers for your toddler don’t have to be super fancy or expensive… Stocking stuffers are a great way to gift your little one with small, fun toys to foster their unique interests.
Think about the types of activities, books, and games your child likes to play with.
Maybe they’re super into dinosaurs…cooking in the kitchen…or playing in the water. Gift them with a dinosaur “egg”… a chef’s hat…or a fun new bath toy!
Stocking stuffers are also the perfect way to try out new interests with your little one. That way you can start small and get them bigger items at another time.
