‘Tis the season for gifting! But when you have kiddos with different personalities like our seven madcap Oddbods, picking out gifts can be pretty tricky.
According to experts, there are three broad categories of toddler personality:
-
Easy or happy, but not full-tilt constantly
-
Shy or slow to warm -- often thoughtful and quiet
-
Spirited (a nice term for "Get down off the refrigerator right now!")
But if you still can't decide which toy matches their personality best, don't worry - stick to the principle of gifting "Toys that require imagination — and that can be used in lots of different ways."
We’ve prepared a curated guide of gifts to make your Christmas gift buying a tad easier — here are some ideas for every kiddo on your list! Whether they’re a tiny technophile who loves anything that involves gadgets and technology, or if they’re the cautious environmentalist that cares about the environment while indulging in their favourite activity — we’ve got it all!
