What to get an almost 2yo girl?

[Lachesis00]

She isn't really playing with toys yet. She is the only girl in my immediate family and the baby. She has 3 older cousins and 2 older brothers, so I've always bought for boys!

She has a baby dolly she loves on, if she isn't asking me to put her hat on (the baby's).

I got her brother some puzzles and such that I think he'll dig, but she isn't into that type of stuff yet.

We are on a tight budget due to my husband being unemployed for a while, but we're getting back on track . I am not buying many toys but would like a couple gifts.

Baby bed. If she has a baby doll get her a bed she is old enough to want to put her baby to sleep. Also give her a blanket or 2 for the bed and a bottle and she'll be all set for a long time. (It is a gift that she can use past the toddler toys)

Yes! or the Little Tikes high chair - indestructible! My DD6 still plays with this.

Good idea! Target and Babies R Us sells a doll crib that looks like a Graco Pack and Play, DD loves it! I think the Target brand one is much cheaper.

Also at that age DD started to play with Aquadoodle and Magnadoodle, Target has a ton of stuff at different price points.

Shopping cart to push the baby around and put her in and take her out repeatedly. Get a good one like the Little Tikes one, it'll last her years. Also, they're frequently part of TRU's B1G1 sales so you can get two toys for the price of one.

Or a Cozy Coupe, they have a bunch of different styles now and are part of the TRU sales also I believe.

I know it is such a silly question but with boys for so long...

Yes those shopping carts are great! My DD also had a stroller like this from little tikes or playskool that she loved-not one of the strollers for older girls-this was one built for toddlers to push around (indestructible)

I also was thinking, my DD had a play vacuum she loved or a broom and mop.
Or play pots and pans and food. Any type of food preparation appliance, mixer, toaster, etc.

The shopping carts were always a hit my house when the girls were little. I was going to suggest bubbles and the fun wands that go with them. Again, always a hit in our house and big brothers can play too! Which is really what little sister would probably most like. lol

Fisher Price Snap n Style dolls/puppies. My girls love them and have been playing with them for years.

My children's favorites at that age were:
* Mr. Potato Head
* Little People bus
* Little Tikes shopping cart
* Magna Doodle
* dr kit

Just after 2, they really started *playing* with toys. She will grow into any of these quickly. Any one of these should be a hit -- and not a bank breaker!

Hope that helps!
