Presents for toddlers

[mizarchivist]

I can think of a lot of useless ideas for what to get Crime Fighter for his birthday next month, including a puppy, a big vat of sugar, squealy toys.... All of those ideas are, of course, duly considered and shunted off.

So, what does one get for a one year old when what he loves best is to play with plastic wrappers that make a ton of noise and to play in the recycling bin?

Wrap up an empty box for him. He can tear it, chew it, etc. T. was amused by her wrapped empty box for months. Also bath toys--don't know if he loves water yet or not, but if he doesn't now, he will soon, and a boat or two, some rubber duckies, maybe some vegetable dye to turn the water a fun color--you've got hours of entertainment there.

Different colored water. He might implode with excitement, given how much he loves water. I need to tape him when he's in a swim suit in the water, because he's just SO fascinated by it all- especially when the water is pouring down near him.
