The 2017 Toddler Christmas Gift Guide – Blocks, Books,…
With Christmas just around the corner, I’ve taken the time to sit down and think about the gifts that would really get a toddler excited on Christmas Day. I thought long and hard, and you know what? I’ve come up with a pretty amazing list! Behold, Blog of Dad’s 2017 Toddler Gift Guide – Blocks, Books, Brilliant Beats and Balance (because who doesn’t love alliteration?).
Disclosure: These amazing gifts were provided free of charge to Blog of Dad for review during 2017. Some were sent specially for Christmas, Lucky Hannah!
Blocks – 2017 Toddler Christmas Gift Guide
Whenever someone asks what to get Hannah for Christmas, my response is “blocks and books!” They are two of her favourite things in the world and you can never have too much of either. When it comes to blocks, LEGO is the king! And for toddlers, the excellent DUPLO range is their entry into the LEGO world.
There is a DUPLO set (or ten) to suit the tastes of every toddler. We were sent the amazing Fun Family Fair set for Hannah to try out this Christmas and it’s spot on! Animals, slides, little people… perfection!
I made the mistake of showing Hannah the box when it arrived. She wouldn’t let it out of her sight. I had flashbacks to my own childhood and suddenly remembered the pure joy and anticipation that comes with unwrapping LEGO at Christmas time.
The Duplo that Hannah already has is her most played with toy, and this wonderful set will add even more enjoyment to her magical box of DUPLO delight. It doesn’t matter if it’s your toddlers first set, or they already have a tonne of the stuff – a DUPLO set is bound to bring a smile to a tiny face on Christmas Day!
You can find the Fun Family Fair set here, or check out the full range of amazing DUPLO sets on the LEGO shop website. There’s something to suit the tastes of every toddler (and dad)!
Books – 2017 Toddler Christmas Gift Guide
I have written plenty about these great headphones already. We trialled them extensively throughout our adventures in Japan and I was thoroughly impressed by everything about them. The Puro Sound Labs BT2200 were so great that I gave them a rare 5-star rating!
The Puro Sound Labs BT2200 headphones are perhaps the best way to avoid the insanity of parenthood that comes with listening to the same grating kids’ song over and over and over again (the perfect pairing for a Spotify Premium account!). Best of all, you can put them over those delicate little toddler ears safe in the knowledge that their precious hearing is being protected by the volume-limiting capacity of the headphones.
Head on over to the Puro Sound Labs website to find the excellent BT2200 Studio Grade Children’s Bluetooth Headphones
Balance – 2017 Toddler Christmas Gift Guide
A great gift guide for Australian toddlers would have to include some outdoor fun! Well it doesn’t get much better than the Globber EVO 5-in-1 Scooter!
This is another gift that Hannah won’t have under the tree this year, because she already has one. I’m including it because it has become one of Hannah’s most loved possessions since we reviewed it earlier in the year. If Hannah loves it that much, then I’m sure other toddlers will too.
The Globber EVO 5-in-1 is a quality gift that is capable of providing many years of joy. It changes as your toddler grows and it is built to last. If you are looking for a scooter this Christmas for your toddler, the Globber is hard to beat.
You can find the Globber EVO 5-in-1 and a range of other great scooters on the Globber website.
That’s it for the Blog of Dad 2017 Toddler Christmas Gift Guide. Be sure to check back soon, as The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide for Australian Dads 2017 is coming, and it’s great!
And remember, as fantastic as all of the gifts in the guide above are, the greatest gift that you can give your toddler is your time and attention while you share the experience with them. Snuggle up together and read a book, go outside and teach her to ride, or put on some tunes and build amazing DUPLO things together. That’s what your little one will remember and appreciate a lifetime from now!
Merry Christmas!

Awesome Gift Guide. Glad my son can’t read yet, he’d be jealous of Hannah’s gifts. Intrigued with the Puro Sound Labs headphones… might need to go investigate them a bit more. Thanks for the tip! #ThatFridayLinky

I am a teacher in the UK and I haven’t heard of any of those books! They look great though.

[…] This Duplo set has been particularly brilliant. It is the Family Fun Fair set that Hannah was sent for Christmas. […]
