The little ones in our family love getting new workbooks / coloring books / washable markers / jumbo crayons. There's some really good sesame street type workbooks at the dollar store.

I don't know what it's called, but it's a blow-up ball with a handle. The kids sit on it and bounce. They had em when I was a kid too. My 2 y/o loves it, and he uses some of that energy! Also jumbo crayons, play doh, pop-ons blocks, learn through music plus.

I'm very happy with the Little Tykes one because it's SO durable. Our boys stand on it, ride in it, and jump off it. We've had it over a year, and it's in still in perfect condition. (I think I payed $22 from TRU. Initially I bought $10 wire one that came with food from Marcs. I took it back, because they would've broke it in 2 minutes, plus the cardboard food boxes. I thought the Little Tykes one was expensive at 1st, but now I'm glad I bought it. If you don't want to pay for Little Tykes one, I saw a pretty good one at Target for $10. It'd be fine if your daughter isn't too rough.

My son just started school. There's the teacher and the aide. Do you buy presents for both, and how much do you typically spend? Thanks!

Hi, I bought my grandsons MP3 players after Christmas last year for $12.50 each (normally $50). But are they something the boys will like? (Are they popular?) Thanks
