The Real Joys of Motherhood: Getting Real with Canadian Moms

Fisher-Price 2012 Holiday Toy Guide!

 

When gifting toys, oftentimes I think of what has been a huge hit with own girls and go from there. Are you the same way? If you haven’t thought of that approach, I urge you to do so. It can really take away a lot of the stress of holiday shopping.

For instance, I can easily look back at some of their favorite Fisher-Price toys over the past year, and there alone I have great gift ideas for toddlers and preschoolers. So, to make it easier on you, I have my personal favorite top 3 Fisher-Price gift ideas.

#1} When composing this list, I forst asked the girls which toy were their favorites. To them, tops has to be the Loving Family Grand Dollhouse. Technically the girls got this toy near the end of 2011, but even a whole year later it’s still their most-loved toy so it had to make this list. They play with the house {and the Loving Family Beach Vacation Mobile Home}, daily. And I mean every.single.day.

It’s says a lot to me when a toy is played with so frequently, yet still remains as it was on day 1. They have many toys, yet they keep coming back to this house, so kudos for durability and longevity.

Learning through play, the girls master creativity, imagination as well as their motor skills.

#2} The Power Wheels Barbie Cadillac Escalade Custom Edition was one huge surprise that left the girls speechless, and it’s also one toy which made our Summer of 2012. I cannot even count how many times the girls zoomed up and down the sidewalk and explored all the neighbors’ driveways.

#3} A toy that hasn’t been in the house for too long, yet chosen by my girls as one of their favorites of 2012 is the Disney Princess Song Palace Playset. They are girly-girls at heart and love playing ‘house’ yet also have a deep and intense love for Disney Princesses. They have all adored Little People Playsets for years upon years, so it’s a given that they immediately ‘took’ to this set. While playing, they sing and role play and while it is a smaller set, all 3 play with it together.

 

Something for every age, covering all aspects of learning and at so many price points – there’s something for everyone on your list this year thanks to Fisher-Price.

    Under our tree this year we have one of the Little People houses (I can’t remember the name of it right now but it’s white & purple). I know he’s going to love it. Right now we have the Little People pink bus and he cries because all of his Little People won’t all fit in it at the same time…and trust me, he REALLY tries to make it work. :) He has so many Little People accessories under the tree this year and I can’t wait for him to try them all!

    By the way, that pink Cadillac is adorable! Doesn’t it make you wish you had one in your size too? :)

    Great post, Tammi! Happy Holidays to your family!
