OK, I need some ideas from you all! I have to admit that I'm having a hard time coming up with what to get Julia for Christmas. Sam is easy--there are tons of things that he loves, and his main gift is going to be an electric train that we found on a great deal (shhhh--don't tell!). :) We are also getting some new wooden track for all the kids to share. But for some reason, Julia is not so easy. She should be--after all, I was a little girl once!--but mainly I remember the things I liked when I was an older girl.
She already has several baby dolls and stuffed animals, she has some Little People stuff and is getting more for Christmas from other family members. I was thinking about a game as part of her present--maybe Cariboo? It sounds like a fun one from the reviews I've seen. Any other ideas for a 2 1/2 year old little girl would be welcome!! Thanks!

A tea set is always great for any little girl Carrie.Margie
I wouldn't recommend a game yet - sounds like Julia's too little to get into a game though I've never played cariboo. What are the age recommendations? I know that Chloe is almost 3 1/2 and she'd much rather have pretending stuff (dress-up clothes, stick pony, silk flowers, aprons, hats) than a board game. Chloe did really like (and still does) wooden puzzles. Melissa & Doug make some great ones - I especially like the wooden princess doll one. Does Julia have a toy kitchen? There are lots of great food/cooking sets out there (again, Melissa & Doug brand are favorites here). Or baby doll accessories (i.e. changing pad, diaper bag, baby carrier) would be good. Chloe also really enjoyed playing with a wooden mailbox set (Melissa & Doug makes a fun one with wooden postcards, mailbox, and velcro stamps).
Hope those ideas get you started! Let us know what you decide to get!
One that came to mind was a kitchen. Or maybe some play food and a shopping cart. Maybe a stroller for her babies. Good luck!
Aaron is this same age, and I was going to suggest dress up clothes. His little friends (who are girls, and some boys) love to play dress up - even just a stack of funny hats and shoes can keep them entertained. I'm making a superhero cape this year for him to play with.
Aaron also LOVES stickers - I'm actually going to wrap up a blank book of paper and some stickers for him this year. He's getting a great tool bench that Michael found at a sale for $5. We got off cheap this year!! :-)
