I was trying to get ideas for what to get my son, he's nearly 3 for Christmas, and was wondering what you were getting your toddler? Also, about how much do you spend?
Answer
My son will be 3 16 days before Christmas. We have bought him an art eisle. It is just simple to put a plastic mat under and an old tshirt and let their imagination run. Last year we bought him a Vsmile video game learning system (about $60). This year we bought him 3 more games (run about $20 each). They are very educational games, not only that but the child learns motor skills as well. I also bought a city scape area rug for his playroom (check link below for example). I got a really nice one at Lowe's for $20. I have looked for one for almost 18 months. I was so happy to find the one I did. It looks SO cute. It is not on the Lowe's website and when I asked many people in the store they had no clue what I was talking about. Look in the section that has the mats folded. The one I have looks better than the one on the link, but just using it as an example. I also want to buy him the Step 2 Real Project Workshop, but it is only available online and I would like to see it in person before I buy it. I also bought "Cars" the movie. It was the first movie he ever saw in theatres and really loved it. For his birthday he is getting a whole new bedroom linen set from the movie (comforter, mini pillows, wall stickers (look at Lowe's in the children section), sheets, and pillow sham).
Another great thing we have purchased...a number of Step 1 get ready to read books. You can find great ones at Walmart for $2.50
Since his birthday and Christmas are so close we make sure he know his birthday is HIS day. We spend about $400 on his birthday and about $200-300 for Christmas.
My inlaws have bought him a junior size real drum set and a mini electric guitar. He LOVES music. They have also bought him a bike with all the protective gear. One of his uncles (has 5 on his dad's side) had a skateboard made for him and another 2 have pitched in together to buy him some sort of mini atv. I have not seen it yet and not sure what I think. I am hoping it is a powerwheel.

Ideas for decorating a toddler boy bedroom?
POPPY
I just finished painting the walls in my soon to be 3 year old son's bedroom. The paint is called "Guacamole" . Its a very warm rich green. My trim is dark wood, which I hate (I like white trim but I'm renting). I'm having a tough time decorating because his dresser is white and the toddler bed is a pine color. I'm not willing to paint the dresser and I really prefer to use what we have already. I love the look of pottery barn, but can't really afford to spend the money.Can you help me come up with some affordable ideas to make it look like a cool, & fun big boy bedroom. I'm not into themes because his likes change so often. But one thing that always stays the same is cars, trucks and trains. I could decorate by displaying cars and picture frames with cars&airplanes themes. I"m not sure. Possibilities are endless. I also need an idea for curtain color. I'd like to add a play table and an easel. I'm also making an underbed train table as a surprise. Thank you for reading my post.
Answer
Just a thought. Try downloading a printing pictures of high end cars and exotic planes or trains. Then frame them and put them up in his room. For extra touches add a small collection of Maisto cars in cases for display. By the way many car dealers will give you free booklets and on occassion you can get promo items(i.e. we got a Porsche flag for our sons room). Maybe a few light weight model planes hanging from the ceiling. And if your able put a 6" shelve about 18" from the ceing around the entire room and set up a electric train on it. Put a switch some where on the wall out of his reach for now(he'll enjoy turning it on when he five or so, but not now he may break it to easily). Also for the curtians try a dark green or Dark purple(aka Royal Purple). By the way a extra nice touch is a rug for a kids room has a play scape on it (usually a road and such). I know it sounds like a lot, but it works out nicely. It's what we are doing for our sons room.
