2016 Multiples Holiday Gift Guide
Toys can easily take over, especially when you have two or three of everything. Finding great toys that your multiples and other siblings can share isn’t always easy. So in addition to our traditional Holiday gift guide, we put together a great list of toys with multiples in mind!
Enjoy! – Annette

Play Tent ~ $36
A play tent is a great shareable toy for siblings 1 year+. I love the rocket ship tent with the space projector, the castle tent for princesses, and the modern tent that won’t be an eyesore for adult spaces.

For siblings 6 mos+, this learning center has multiple play areas so everyone can have their own space.

Creative Baby i-Mat & Voice Pen ~ $30 & $50
The large interactive mat makes it a great gift for two. Get two Voice Pens so you aren’t mediating fights over whose turn it is. My Animal World, Under the Sea , and the Alphabet mats are sold separately so you can get one to share or multiple. As an added bonus, it can help cushion a hard floor.
Alex Jr. Sound and Play Busy Table ~ $47
A wooden activity table with instruments, gears and more — big enough for siblings (18 mos+) to share.
ALEX Jr. My Busy Town Activity Center ~ $51
Activity cubes are great for siblings (approx. 12 mos+) to share. There are many different variations depending on your budget. The Imagination Generation is a steal at only $30. Alex Jr.’s My Busy Town (below) is a bit more expensive at $51. The Manhattan Toy Tree Top Center is more elaborate for $72. And the big Kahuna is the Alex Jr. Woodland Wonders for $107.

If you have the space, this interchangeable adventure course is great for siblings 6 – 36 mos.

Fisher-Price Little People A to Z Learning Zoo Playset ~ $89
There are a million Little People sets out there, but the Zoo set is the Cadillac. With animals from A-Z, the interactive mat makes animal noises, sings the ABC’s and asks questions. There is enough in the set for siblings to play together. If you already have lots of Little People, the Animal Friends Farm is a great add-on.
