Christmas is upon us!
I feel like this season is easily 80% of the population’s favorite. And if you’re one of those bah-humbug types…you’re still stuck smack dab in the middle of the Season of Giving so here are some ideas to get you started on that doe-eyed toddler in your life.
And to make it THAT much easier everything on this list you can order from Amazon Prime which means that if you’re a member, you get FREE TWO DAY SHIPPING.
As a special needs mom, when I’m shopping for my little girl, I automatically think of how she could possibly benefit from what I’m getting her whether its toys, clothes, shoes, food, etc. & I have added those thoughts as well.
A lot of these gift ideas promote fine motor skills like the pincer grasp or intentional release, imaginative play, recognizing shapes and colors, and practicing gross motor skills with bigger movements. Or they’re just plain adorable & I couldn’t pass them up!
