Now that my daughter is almost 18 months I feel I have a good grasp on what makes the perfect gift for a 1-year-old. I always struggle with gift-giving, especially when it comes to children and what toys are appropriate for what ages. The suggested ages on the packaging are always wrong. I hope some of you are able to benefit from my new-found knowledge of what makes the best gifts for a 1-year-old.
I just made a pocket advent calendar for my family to use every December and I can’t wait to begin this tradition. In this post, I’ve brainstormed a number of advent calendar fillers to put in the pockets. In the 24 days leading up to Christmas, children will look forward to discovering what is in each day’s pocket. I’ve included fun activities, yummy treats, and little presents. Many of these advent calendar fillers also make great stocking stuffers!
You have a dilemma. Either you are a parent going to a holiday party and you want to make sure your children have a good time but are still well-behaved. Or you are the host of a celebration and have the dual task of providing fun for all ages while also keeping everyone safe (and your house intact!). Don’t worry, keeping kids entertained during a holiday party is easier than you think!
