Just thought it would be fun to get the ball rolling with plans for Christmas/holiday gifts. The following is a list of gifts for DS3 that we are aiming to complete with grandparents' help:
1. Magformers kits:
small and
large -- bought
2. Robot turtles programming
game -- bought
3. Kanoodle
puzzle -- bought
4. Haynes internal combustion engine model
kit <-- DH recommends saving for a later year.
5. Skeletons in the closet
game <-- DH recommends saving for a later year.
6. True to life human
xrays 7. Mini human anatomical
model <--maybe. I can see him loving it for a day, then abandoning it. I'm on the fence.
8. A few simple card games
9. A slinky (for some reason, he loves doing experiments with one my in-laws own)
10. Some books, particularly this one on how machines
work -- bought a few "We Both Read" titles, more to come. I have an unquenchable children's literature habit.
11. Funky pajamas
12. A Notre Dame toque (DH is an Irish fanatic)
13. Urinalysis test strips. <-- this sounds random, but I think this might be how I successfully motivate DS to toilet train. At the very least, he'll be able to tell stories about that time he received urinalysis strips in his stocking when he was 3...!
14. A tinkering mechanic's
kit FYI for Canadians: Indigo has a 20% off sale through Nov 5 on toys, but Legos sadly aren't included.
