[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those who said $100-$200 per child (especially for younger kids) can I ask what you buy them?  I'm trying to do a list on a budget and come up with about $500 total for my one child. Just need some better ideas I think so maybe some of you can help. (We have one 3 yo)[/quote]

My question to you is, what are you thinking of getting for a 3 year old that adds up to $500? I will probably spend around $75-$100 on my 3 year old. She will most likely be getting a Melissa and Doug baby doll ($15), the feeding accessory kit for that ($15), two rooms for her dollhouse ($30 total), some PlayDoh and one of the contraptions for it ($20) and a stocking with play jewelry and small trinkets. Last year, when she was 2, I went a little crazy and she literally opened 3 presents and got way too overwhelmed. So I opened the rest up for it and she played with almost none of it that day because it was all just so much. I got her a baby stroller, FIVE Melissa and Doug puzzles, a few books, a couple DVDs for the long car trip we were taking, a Magnadoodle, an Aquadoodle... I can't even remember what all. And it was just such a waste because it was too much. This year, with only 3-4 things to focus on, I think she'll be MUCH happier.[/quote]
