I took a bunch of DS's toys down to a toy swap last night and today we went to pick out some new ones, and I am still in shock at what I picked up for FREE!!!
This by far was my biggest score. It is a stable that DS was all over as soon as he saw it. He is getting some animals for Christmas, so this is perfect!!! It has a few nicks in it, but the hinges are solid and the wood is very solid. So beautiful!
I found him this table top kitchen. It is not one I would have picked out, but it is a wooden one and it was free, so we are going to use it and I am going to keep an eye out at thrift stores and Craigslist for a free standing one. It is also going to be a Christmas gift for him.
This push toy with blocks in it will definitely be a hit too. He wanted to run all over the house with it. I think he can have this one now, as I don't want to completely bury him in toys on Christmas morning.
I found these fun stacking cardboard nesting blocks too. I think he will get these now too. We have some wooden ones that he loves, but they can be dangerous when he knocks them over.
The pig puzzle is actually six puzzles in one if you flip the cubes over. He is still too little for it, so I think I will hold it until next Christmas. The animals and the box are a shape sorter that I may end up giving to a friend who has a 1 year old for Christmas too.
This is a set of 5 Sandra Boynton books. I have been wanting to get these for DS forever, but couldn't justify buying them new. They are in relatively good shape, but I know he will love them. There is also a Melissa and Doug shape puzzle that he will definitely love. I am not sure if I will keep these for his birthday in March, or give them to him in a couple of weeks.
This is a felt food pyramid. The food pieces stick onto the pyramid, but I figured the food would be great for his wooden kitchen. I am making him some food, but these will be a good stash to add to that won't really matter if he loses a piece or two.
Last but not least, I found two hats for dressup. I don't normally give him plastic toys, but these hats were super cute and he loves to dress up. The box beside them is a floor puzzle for next Christmas or his 3rd birthday. All the pieces are there and it is really nice.
I feel like I just won the toy lottery today! I can't believe I was just able to walk out of the swap with all of these amazing toys! I was worried that it would really only be plastic broken junk, but there were some incredible toys there. There weren't really a ton of people, and everyone was super polite. Yay!!!
