Christmas gift ideas for toddlers - 1-3 years old

We're currently running a competition on our Facebook Fan Page, where we're offering £100 of Little Sunflowers vouchers to one lucky participant.

Entering is easy - all you have to do is suggest a Christmas present for a child in one of three age groups. You can find out more about it here.

Today we'd like to look at some of the ideas we've been given for the 1-3 or toddler age range.

There's so much around for this age group, that it's nice to get suggestions form other mums to see what their kids loved!

Christmas present suggestions for babies:

1) Tinne suggested a Wheely Bug - and we have to say it's a great idea! We've had one in our house for around 4 years and it's still withstanding knocks and bumps. What toddler wouldn't love this cute little thing?

2) A balancing bike was a great suggestion from Kerry. As well as showing us the one her son uses, she also found this really cute Peppa Pig one for little girls. A great idea for getting youngsters used to balancing before they have to tackle pedals, we have to say we like it!

3) Waybuloo is popular with this age group, according to Ailsa. So if your toddler is in love with this pre school TV programme, check out the HUGE range of gifts around this Christmas!

4) Emily is going 'old school' with paints, paper, crafts and things to 'do'. A great idea and ideal for taking time out and sitting with your little one to help! We think that stickers are a great addition to the mix too!

5) Another ride on toy fan, Karen is happy to have tracked down a ride on tractor for her son - and we have to say that this one at ELC does look pretty cool!

6) Gail is another mum going a little retro, with suggestions of wooden toys and balance bikes. There are some great wooden kids toys around and kids really do love them!

7) Samantha is going for the handmade look - but don't worry, you don't have to be a dab hand with a sewing kit - there are some great handmade toys here at NinnyNoodleNoo!

8) The Eco Wind Up Play Rocket is a great suggestion from Emma - bright, hard wearing and more importantly - NO BATTERIES! The bliss of not having to realise you've forgotten batteries on Christmas Day when all the shops are shut puts it on our list!

9) Pam's liking Mega Bloks - a firm favourite with the toddler age group and can be used to play many different games over and over again.

10) We love Solveig's idea of a kiddy sized table and chairs for painting and messy work - no more worries about your precious dining table and PVA glue!

So there you have it - some great ideas from our fans!

Dno't forget, we have a whole range of toddler gifts on our website, and the competition is still open to win £100 of vouchers - just visit our Fan page and post in our discussion forum suggesting YOUR favourite Christmas gift suggestions!
