The holidays are right around the corner and with all the hustle and bustle, you may be struggling to come up with ideas for stocking stuffers for your little ones. We have come up with our top 10 list of stocking stuffer ideas for kids under two.
Play-Doh
Play-Doh has a great texture that little kids really enjoy, soft and squishy. They can mould, stretch and pound it into endless shapes and playing with Play-Doh is great for dexterity. If you have time to look for them, some retailers even sell stocking stuffer sized containers.
Bathtub Crayons
These non-toxic crayons are fun to use on your bathtub and shower wall, and come off easily with water, making it quick to clean up your little one’s masterpieces once bath time is over.
Coloured Bath Tablets
Using non-toxic tablets that change the colour of the bath water adds even more bath time fun. The bonus being they don’t stain your tub.
Finger Puppets
Tiny little finger puppets are the perfect stocking stuffer, kids can get creative making up stories and games using the puppets which make them an ideal stocking stuffer for creative and imaginative play.
A Toothbrush
Toothbrushes come in so many colours and patterns, and if you’re lucky you might even be able to find a toothbrush with your child’s favourite character on it. Bonus points for adding on a tube of toddler-friendly toothpaste.
Bath Toy Stacking Cups
Bath toys are always a big hit in our house and any sort of toy that can be brought into the bath is an automatic favourite. The little holes in the cups to help to drain the water out of the toys and these cups are great to develop your little one’s fine motor skills. The cups nest in each other making for easy storage too.
Crayons and Colouring Books
Again, these are always a big hit in our house, crayons and colouring never go out of style (we even keep a book and set of crayons in our travel bag to help pass the time). If you have the time, you can take a look around for crayons in unique shapes and colours and colouring books that feature your child’s favourite character or activity.
Books
Spending time together reading books as a family is something we really enjoy in our house, so this could even double as a family gift. Books on your little one’s favourite topic, fairy tale or fictional character are sure to be a hit. Not only will you be giving a book as a stocking stuffer, but you will also be giving the gift of your time when you sit down and read together.
Stickers
You can find stickers featuring any topic or character and at any price point making them a perfect stocking stuffer. You can use them to make snow day crafts or your little one might even start a sticker collection book.
Toys from Your Childhood
Slinky’s, wind-up cars, paper dolls, My Little Ponies, all of these are making re-occurrences in pop culture and are easy to find nowadays, so why not share a bit of your childhood with your children and make brand new memories.
We hope that this list has helped make your holiday shopping a little easier, leaving more room to spend time with your loved ones this season.
