    20 Childrens Holiday Books

    A simple holiday tradition that we started when my youngest was just a toddler and that my kids still love is the gift of new holiday books at the start of the season. They open a few new books after Thanksgiving (sometimes Bell the Elf brings these) and we read those along with the rest of our collection all season long. We love reading a couple of Christmas or Holiday books each night before bed. Some of our favorites are listed below and also a couple of new ones that I’m thinking of adding to our collection this year. I like to try to have a mix of holiday books…

    Toddler Gifts

    I love to buy gifts for toddlers, they pretty much love anything. From cardboard boxes to a six foot stuffed giraffe – it’s all fantastic! That being said, as a mom, I like my toddlers gift list to have a variety of items. I usually include practical items like boots and mittens, movies they’ve been wanting to see, and a new book that I know they’ll love. Toddlers are a busy bunch.
