Having a 3 year old can be difficult, and tiring but it's also a true blessing. It sometimes truly takes a village to help raise little ones. These products have definitely helped us with our little man and I'm here to explain how they helped. I hope these items can help you too!
Camelbak Eddy+ Kids Water Bottle
Anyone with little ones know that it can be so hard to find water bottles that 1. don't leak and 2. stay cold. I can't tell you how many water bottles & cups we've tried and somehow, some way my child has found a way to make each one leak. Not this one though, it's made for straw chewers so the straw is almost impossible to put a hole in. Camelbak also sells the straws separately so you can buy new ones and even colorful ones! With our little one in daycare we also needed to find a bottle that can keep cold for longer. With this cup being insulated it stays colder, longer! They have such cute designs as well, which is always a plus for us moms.
The Nugget Play Couch
This couch is not only comfortable, it turns into anything! I've seen some people even use these as couches in their living room. This couch is made up of 4 cushions, the base, the top and 2 triangle pillows. All are made of a super soft and comfy foam. These couches come in all different colors too, some even have themes to them. My son's favorite thing to make with this is an obstacle course or a slide. There's even facebook groups where people share what they make and some people make some incredible things. This couch is absolutely something I'd recommend to be in your playroom.
I don't know about you but my son is a serious picky eater. Waffles, chicken nuggets, cookies, you know all the things in a child's well-balanced diet. These pouches have been a serious life saver. It may not be AS good as actually fruit or veggies but he at least gets something. What's also great is that it's perfect for traveling or anywhere on the go. So these are, in my opinion, an absolute definite for your picky eater!
Johnson's Soothing Vapor Soap
This soap has been a blessing when my son has a stuffy nose. The soothing vapor is strong enough to help him breathe, even if it's only while he's in the bath. We use it in so many ways during bath time. Obviously we use it as his soap, this soap is so gentile it's safe to use on your baby's face & body. We also use it as bubble bath, we just pour a generous amount in while the water is running in the tub. But our little one's favorite is when we put it in his bubble machine. Yes, you and I know that's very similar to the regular bubble bath but what kid doesn't want to listen to baby shark 60000 times while it makes bubbles. *INSERT CRYING MOM HERE* The smell of the vapor still lasts while even in the bubbles, which in my opinion why it's so great.
Now, I don't know about your kids but mine thinks he's Tarzan. All day, every day. My living room was his jungle, and the couches were his trees that he jumped from. These stepping stones are the best. Not only are they fun for the kids but it helps them with their balance as they grow.. Each stone has a strong rubber grip around the bottom so there's no worries about moving or sliding. It's actually helped our little one with his colors too. We usually play a game where either dad or I will call out a color and he would have to find it and step on it. I've also seen parents put boards on some of the stones to create kind of like a balance beam. I mean to be honest these are great for any age, my husband and I love playing on these ourselves. These are great to let your little one let out a little energy!
Latt Chrilden's Table and Chairs from Ikea
So I know it may be a little weird to have a table and chairs as a favorite for a 3 year old, it's kind of almost common sense. But this is more to tell you how we use this table and chairs. We took the table from this set and bought some sticker foam letters from Amazon and put the ABCs around the outside of the table. Our son will sit there at this table and list his ABCs like it's a toy. Now you can use any type of stickers if you want. Animals, numbers, dinosaurs, anything. We used the ABCs because our son was a little behind in speaking so we did anything we could to try to catch him up. We also use this table for coloring, eating, playing, etc. This set is made really well, very strong wood, so no worries about any legs breaking or your child getting hurt.
I hope some of these items and ideas help you and help your family the way it did mine. Sometimes things don't always work for everyone so if you did try one of these and you used it in a different way please let me know! I'm always interested in trying new ideas or items for our little guy! Thanks for grabbing a Latte & reading with me, hope you enjoyed!
