If you’re looking for gifts for the toddler moms in your life, you’ve come to the right place.
As a seasoned mom to two tiny terrorists myself, I can attest that these are the best gifts for any toddler mom this holiday season. It’s been a few years since my last post on gift ideas for moms, and a lot has changed!
Reverse Advent Calendars just might be my new favorite holiday tradition this year!
I love traditional advent calendars – my family has a felt Christmas tree with little plush ornaments for each day that we’ve had hanging on the wall every year for as long as I can remember, and my husband’s family does a new daily treat calendar each year.
Those are all good and fun, but this year, as my son is getting older and more aware of the world around him, I wanted to start teaching him and his sister what’s really important at the holidays – and I don’t mean the overload of gifts.
Gifts for 3-year-olds can be particularly tough to choose – they’re still very much “toddlers,” but they’re growing more and more into “preschoolers” every day.
At this age, they start to be more into activities than just toys, so STEM / learning toys can be great gifts, whether it’s for the holidays or a birthday.
It’s officially October, and that means only one thing: the holidays are coming.
Did that send chills down anyone else’s spine?
Because along with the joys of the holiday season comes the inevitable Christmas gift overload for my toddlers.
I’d love to say that our house is always overflowing with joy and sparkles and snowflakes and cheer during the holidays, but in reality, we’re overflowing with stress, commitments, pressure, and well, still sparkles (per usual, for us toddler moms).
When making dinner for toddlers, there’s really only ONE factor that matters:
What the food looks like.
You could be serving them a culinary masterpiece of chocolate-covered mac ‘n cheese, but if they spot a speck of something green or ~spicy~, they won’t touch it with a 10-foot pole.
These Mini BBQ Bacon Turkey Meatloaves totally fit the “kid-friendly” bill, because they. are. ADORABLE.
