Guidesthe toddler years
Birthday gifts for 2–3 year olds
Copying grown-ups (play kitchens, toy tools), Duplo, diggers, dinosaurs, and whoever's on CBeebies — Bluey and Hey Duggee are gods here.
The classic mistake: Small parts — under-threes put everything in their mouths. Check the age mark on the box.
Add a birthday once and the book blends this age with their real interests, reminds the whole family three weeks out, and lets everyone claim what they are getting so nothing is doubled up.
