Toddler Fall Toy Rotation
One of my favorite things to do when the seasons change is switch out some of the toys.
It makes everything feel a little fresh without actually having to buy a ton of new stuff.
For fall, I pulled out some of our books and toys that go along with the season. I love anything with pumpkins, apples, leaves, little animals, and all the pretty fall colors. Here in Florida when it's 80 in September, I need something to make me feel all those Fall Feelings! Haha
Heads up, If you buy through these links, I get a tiny pocket-change commission. Thanks for the love!
A few of the books we have out are Where Is Owl’s Scarf?, Bella’s Fall Coat, and Little Pumpkin. These are such sweet books for this time of year, and I always like having a few seasonal books mixed in with faves.
I also brought out our Farmer’s Market set, which is a toy that can be used so many different ways. Sorting the fruits and vegetables , practicing colors, pretending we're shopping, or just leting her play with it however she wants. (Today, the pickle was a baby somehow.... 😂)
The one new item I did get is this little wooden tree., it has mushrooms, leaves, acorns, and apples! Those all scream fall to me! It is a 4-in-1 type toy and I appreciate all the ways it can be played with.
Last but certainly not least is the DIY flower arranging set up. I first did this back in February for Valentines day, but as that time my then 22 month old was not into it at all.
Fast forward now in September and she LOVES this.
Basically I have this shaker and clipped some Fall colored faux flowers from Dollar Tree, and boom- a DIY fine motor skill toy.
I always keep out our Tonie box, blocks, animals, and a hanfull of other items that our "old faithfuls."
I'm not super strict about toy rotation (may husband might think differently) but I just put away the things she hasnt played with lately and bring out a few things shehas not seen in a while. That's usually enough to make an old toy feel new.
I use any excuse for a theme though and fall is such a good one!! 🍁
I've linked some of the toys and books from our Fall rotation below if you want to see what we have out right now.
And here is a fun video I made showing all these goodies on our shelf!
