JaZaHMum, thanks for your ides.
She has a trike and our neighbours have lent her a ride-on train, so she has that kind of stuff.
My mum bought her a trampoline for Christmas. But my dad (orthopaedic surgeon) made us give it back. In his opinion, they are just too dangerous for under 3s as they are not coordinated enough to time their "landings" and not only can it lead to immediate injuries (like twisted ankles or even broken bones), but also to long term damage to the joints. I know a lot of really little kids have them here, I suppose he just sees the side effects more than the average person.
Yes, I might have a think about the sand pit. The shells are very inexpensive, too. And she just loves the sandpit at the park across the road.
Yes, playdough is one of DD's favourites, too. She was playing with it for about 3 hours this morning. Nothing else holds her attention like this.
I've been looking around on the net for toddler party ideas and I think I might have an animal themed one. She just loves animals and so do most of her little friends.
So, to go along with this theme, I thought we could have a face painting station where we can do really simple animal faces on the kiddos. Of course with a mirror, so they can see what is happening to their faces.
An animal shaped Pinata obviously could go along with it.
And maybe lots of balloons with animal faces drawn onto them...
Bubble blowing (nothing to do with animals, but kids love it)
Goodie bags could include plastic animals, animal board book, animal colouring books, tiny teddy biscuits or animal shaped lollies animal face mask, animal strickers.
Sasa
