[Music]
0:22
welcome my name is heaven and I am a
0:25
stay-at-home mom and wife I have a
0:27
three-year-old son named Noah J and here
0:29
I Vlog about all things motherhood and
0:31
lifestyle I'm always sharing some
0:33
realistic relatable and helpful content
0:35
with you all so if that's something that
0:37
you're into definitely subscribe to my
0:38
channel I post twice weekly and if
0:40
you're looking for another model to
0:42
connect with who is just taking it one
0:43
day at a time just trying her best I
0:45
would love to have you here but let's go
0:47
ahead and get into today's video
0:49
alrighty so I have everything laid
0:51
across the bed here that I have so far
0:52
gotten Noah for Christmas he is
0:54
currently downstairs in the office with
0:56
my husband so that he doesn't get a
0:57
sneak peek of the things that's going
0:58
under the tree this year but everything
1:00
that I'm about to show you I purchased
1:02
from Amazon so that it's easily
1:04
accessible and I'll be sure to leave
1:05
links Down Below in the description box
1:07
if you see something that you like it's
1:08
gender neutral and it's monetary
1:10
friendly so I'm sure that you will see
1:12
something that your little one might
1:14
love the first thing I got him is this
1:16
role play wooden fire station it
1:19
includes a helicopter as well as a
1:22
wooden fire truck it also has like small
1:25
pieces of furniture kitchenette area
1:27
it's got like a little computer area as
1:31
well as like a little small fireman
1:33
figurine so I think it's gonna love this
1:35
role play is really good for developing
1:37
imagination curiosity and is perfect for
1:41
speech intervention as well it helps
1:43
your child so you know practice like
1:45
speaking out more and this is a great
1:48
way that you can also get down and play
1:49
with your little one and have some fun
1:51
as well again it is all wooden pieces so
1:55
it's going to be a lot more durable than
1:57
like the plastic fire stations and I
1:59
only think that there's about 30
2:00
something dollars so these are all the
2:02
pieces that it comes with and then these
2:05
are all of the different type of rooms
2:06
it has a mediation room it has a
2:09
lifeguard station a drawing room as well
2:11
as a supervisory control office so I
2:14
think that this one is going to be
2:15
really cute and he's really gonna like
2:16
it next up I got him this Melissa and
2:18
Doug play Pizza kit all it is is a
2:22
wooden Pizza kit that comes with the
2:24
pizza you can slice it into several
2:27
pieces it comes with the piece of
2:29
toppings and it just has like 36
2:31
different type of toppings Noah loves
2:33
making food and serving it up to people
2:35
who normally uses his magnet house to do
2:38
so so I think that you'll enjoy actually
2:41
having the actual Pizza to serve up as
2:45
opposed to using his magnet towels
2:47
although I do love when he gets creative
2:49
like that he finds ways to you know be
2:52
imaginative and use his magnet towels
2:54
and pretend that it's pizza so I love
2:56
that but I know that he'll love this too
2:58
similar to that I also got him this
3:01
Melissa and Doug felt sandwich kit and
3:04
this one comes with 33 pieces and the
3:06
pieces are a bit more soft to kind of
3:07
resemble like sandwiches so these are
3:10
all of the pieces that it has on the
3:11
back of it wheat bread white bread the
3:14
bun and then it comes with like all of
3:16
the different sandwich toppings it comes
3:18
with like
3:19
eggs and vegetables tomatoes cucumbers
3:22
cheese the meats it has like all the
3:24
different things that you put on the
3:25
sandwich so I think that Noah will enjoy
3:27
this because again this is a great way
3:29
to play pretend be creative and
3:31
imaginative and my little one absolutely
3:33
loves that so I got him one more and
3:37
this is the burger building sequence
3:39
what I love about this one is that it's
3:41
a little bit more developmental because
3:43
it comes with these cards so it has a
3:46
bunch of different cards and it'll show
3:48
you how to actually make the burger so I
3:51
think this will be fun we could kind of
3:53
just put the cards out kind of like a
3:55
menu and then myself and my husband we
3:57
can kind of just take turns like handing
3:59
him the card and then he has to prepare
4:02
the burger the way that it says to
4:04
prepare it on the card so I think that
4:06
that could also be a really great
4:07
learning experience it kind of really
4:09
just developed those cognitive skills
4:11
shade color and size differentiational
4:15
skills so I think that he's gonna love
4:17
this one along with his sandwich set and
4:20
his pizza kit next up we have this
4:23
Melissa and Doug Take Along real Road
4:26
toy 17 wooden pieces and it's creates a
4:31
portable play surface anywhere so as you
4:33
can see here you can lock it and it
4:35
comes with a handle so you can kind of
4:36
just carry it anywhere and then you fold
4:38
it open and then it becomes like this
4:41
little Railway so it comes with like the
4:44
built-in train tracks to come to like
4:46
the little pieces like that you stand up
4:47
like the trees the houses the signs the
4:51
railroad station and the Magnetic wooden
4:53
cars again I love all this wooden stuff
4:56
because it's a lot more durable than
4:58
like the plastic thing so it lasts
5:00
longer you can pass it out to another
5:02
child you can donate it and it'll you
5:04
know be a lot more durable and again
5:06
it's Montessori friendly which we love
5:09
so Noah loves Transportation Vehicles
5:11
like trains and planes and cars and
5:14
boats and trucks and all of those so I
5:17
also got him this wooden magnetic Carlo
5:19
older so it's like a wooden tow truck
5:23
kinda or car loader and then it comes
5:25
with four numbered cars so that's really
5:28
great but basically it has like these
5:30
little magnetic pieces on the top and
5:32
then you just use the crane to pick up
5:34
the cards and load them onto the truck
5:36
and then he'll drive them around so I
5:38
think that you'll also love this one and
5:40
it's supposed to also Foster brain
5:41
development but I just love like just
5:44
anything that'll just spark imagination
5:46
pretend playing curiosity in him now
5:48
this one I love so much I've been
5:50
looking at this one for a while
5:52
especially since we've been doing our
5:54
Bible story readers in homeschool
5:56
lessons and we've been talking about
5:57
Noah's Ark and Noah's bedroom it's like
6:00
Noah's Ark theme he has like this Noah's
6:03
Ark blanket with like The Bold and the
6:06
animals and we always like read the
6:08
books about it as along with like all of
6:10
our other Bible story readers so I'm
6:13
always looking for some really nice like
6:14
Christian inspired toys for him so this
6:17
Noah's Ark set as perfect for that it
6:20
comes with a Noah's Arc book as well as
6:23
22 pieces so it comes with all of the
6:26
wooden animals the rainbow the boat the
6:29
little figurines and it's durable it's
6:32
imaginative creative problem solving
6:34
social skills motor skills all of the
6:36
things and I think that he's gonna love
6:38
this educational Christian Montessori
6:41
inspired toy again it is gender neutral
6:45
so you can get this for your little boy
6:46
or your little girl you can use it for
6:48
like Sunday school or for just play time
6:51
and then you can also read the book to
6:53
them before they play with or at night
6:55
to kind of just keep them interested and
6:58
again it's gluten and durable as well
7:00
similar to the magnetic car loader I
7:03
also got him this magnetic fishing kit
7:06
it has 21 pieces and it could also be a
7:11
really good learning experience
7:12
especially if you know your family is
7:15
into fishing and that's something that
7:17
you guys like to do like as a family
7:19
together or even just the bond was like
7:21
Dad or uncle or sibling or something
7:24
like that this is like a really great
7:26
fishing playset it's like a kit and it
7:28
has like the different baits for all the
7:31
fish so you can teach them about like
7:32
all of the different types of fish you
7:34
can teach them about what they eat and
7:36
how to bake them it comes with the
7:38
fishing reel and the fishing net then it
7:40
has like these little boards here that
7:42
you opened up and you kind of just set
7:44
the fish on top of like they're in the
7:46
water and then you pretty much just reel
7:48
them out so this is another one by
7:50
Melissa and Doug that is also montessor
7:53
inspired and also gender neutral as well
7:56
one of the things that my family and I
7:58
used to joke about with Noah is how much
8:00
he loved these little shopping carts we
8:02
had our birthday party for him when he
8:04
turned two years old and it had like a
8:08
bunch of different play areas for the
8:09
kids with a ton of toys it had like
8:11
arcade games it had bounce houses it had
8:14
arts and crafts areas and the one thing
8:17
they're going to play with the entire
8:18
four hours that we were there was this
8:20
little plastic shopping cart they had
8:22
and we also had purchased him a plastic
8:25
shopping cart for him when he was
8:27
younger but he would lose the wheels and
8:30
we'd be looking around the house trying
8:31
to keep up with all the wheels and pop
8:33
them back on there that was literally
8:35
his favorite toy so this one's a little
8:38
bit for like an older range this one is
8:40
for ages three and up so when your
8:42
little ones are better at walking a
8:45
little bit taller once those small
8:47
plastic ones may not be as dribble for
8:49
them anymore this one is a metal
8:52
shopping cart that resembles the ones
8:54
that we actually use in the grocery
8:56
store so our little ones there always
8:58
you know with us and we're out grocery
9:00
shopping or you know when we're cleaning
9:03
and so they're often trying to mimic the
9:06
things that we do and this will be a fun
9:08
way for a pretend play you can also use
9:10
this to teach food groups to play
9:13
pretend play for speech therapy and
9:16
things like that we use like food groups
9:19
and things like that when we were doing
9:20
Noah's speech therapy when he was
9:22
winning the hap and it worked a ton so
9:26
if you're doing any like speech training
9:28
and teaching your little one to talk
9:29
then this will also be great for that as
9:31
well but again it's a lot more durable
9:33
than the plastic ones this one is also
9:35
by Melissa and Doug and I think that
9:37
this is something that he is going to
9:39
love so I got him you know this little
9:42
shopping cart
9:45
that he can use around the house and to
9:49
go with it we just got him this wooden
9:51
food kit it has about at least 40 pieces
9:56
of different types of food and the
9:58
different food groups that he can kind
10:00
of just sat out and use and I think that
10:03
this one comes with like the little
10:05
signs I have to check this is the only
10:07
box that it came in so I can't really
10:10
like get a good look and see what's all
10:13
in here but I'll definitely like include
10:14
like a little snippet or a screenshot of
10:17
what it looked like when I purchased it
10:19
but it has like the foods with the
10:21
little signs that you can set up and go
10:23
shopping for and so I think like this
10:25
combined with like his little sandwich
10:27
making kit his hamburger making kit his
10:30
pizza making kit and all of that I think
10:32
he can really like get creative and
10:34
imaginative with that so I think that
10:37
those are things that he's all going to
10:39
love this one it's again inside of this
10:43
box that it has shipped in and this is
10:44
the only box that came in so all it is
10:47
is just like the blue PJ masks figurine
10:51
with a like robot that you can insert
10:55
them inside of that he can kind of play
10:57
with he's been watching PJ masks and
10:59
he's been asking for all the characters
11:01
and I told him that he will get it for
11:03
Christmas so I went ahead and purchased
11:06
it for him this one is not montessor
11:07
inspired I don't know how adorable it is
11:10
or how long it's gonna last but he's
11:12
going to enjoy it because he's asked for
11:15
it so I went ahead and got him and this
11:18
is probably because it's probably the
11:20
only thing that I've gotten him this
11:21
year that's not Montessori inspired and
11:24
then I'm pretty sure that my husband's
11:25
gonna give him a few other things as
11:27
well that's probably not Montessori
11:29
inspired aside from all of the toys
11:33
before I purchase any Christmas toys I
11:38
always make sure that he has all of his
11:40
Necessities for the season so I do his
11:43
fall shopping his winter shopping get
11:45
like because winter boots his coats his
11:48
hat all of the things that he needs warm
11:50
socks and warm PJs and undershirts and
11:53
vitamins all the things that he needs I
11:56
make sure that I get that done first and
11:58
then I see what I have left that I can
12:01
use to get you know all of his Christmas
12:05
things done another thing that I do is
12:08
kind of Christmas shop year long so
12:10
every time that I see something that I
12:12
think you'll like I put it in this
12:14
little Amazon list or in a wish list on
12:16
like the different websites so that I
12:18
know that that's what I want to give him
12:19
for Christmas you know that year so that
12:22
when Christmas comes around I'm not
12:24
searching and searching for everything
12:26
and I can kind of just look at
12:27
everything throughout the year so that
12:29
if ever they go on sale I can go ahead
12:31
and purchase it and then tuck it away
12:33
this time I didn't purchase anything in
12:35
advance I purchased this all together as
12:37
a haul but I did add everything into
12:39
this list gradually so then at night you
12:42
know once I settle down I sat down and I
12:44
went through my list and I just you know
12:46
looked at my budget and slowly started
12:48
adding things into my car until I
12:51
reached you know the budget that I was
12:53
looking towards for him and then aside
12:55
from that I also focus on what skills
12:59
we're trying to develop for him at that
13:02
moment so that is what I did I know that
13:05
a lot of this stuff is probably going to
13:07
go on sale so if you see anything that
13:09
you like I'm Gonna Leave It Down Below
13:10
in the description box for you to shop
13:13
for on Amazon but also look around you
13:16
know at your local shopping stores as
13:18
well to see what they have maybe check
13:20
it out on Cyber Monday and see if it
13:22
goes on sale or Black Friday I'm sure
13:24
that all these things are gonna go on
13:26
sale I typically just like to give
13:28
things out of the way so that I can move
13:30
on to like all the other things that's
13:32
more important like focusing on how
13:35
we're going to spend time together as a
13:37
family and how we're going to teach them
13:40
the importance of like Thanksgiving and
13:42
Christmas and how we're going to be able
13:44
to give back to others so I wanted to
13:47
get you know this price is out of the
13:49
way so that now we can focus on like
13:51
things that are more important the
13:53
reasons for the season so I'm glad that
13:55
we got that out of the way I'm also
13:57
going to be doing a separate
13:59
um winter clothing haul for Noah as well
14:02
and show you guys what I got him like
14:03
off his winter clothes I did a fall haul
14:06
already a couple of weeks ago so I'll
14:09
leave a link for that here and then I'm
14:11
also going to again show you guys that I
14:13
got him his winter clothing but so far
14:15
this is all I've got of him for
14:17
Christmas and I hope that you guys maybe
14:18
