This is a very fun Christmas for Ethan, now that's he's three he really understands what we're doing and is getting very excited for the big day!
Stocking Fillers
In Ethan's stocking this year there are going to be all kinds of things to keep him busy in the morning for as long as possible (as I suspect he'll be up from about 4am and the rest of us won't be quite ready to start with all the presents yet!) So he'll be getting little toy cars, surprise packets and sticker books.
Of course it wouldn't be a stocking without a few treats, so he will be getting a few of these healthy Fruit Frollipops that we were sent to try. They're yummy and 1 of your 5 a day, perfect!
Books
We have so many books, but I just can't help but buy Ethan more for Christmas, so as well as all of the Christmas books that he's getting as part of the 12 books of Christmas he will also be getting a few other books that I'm sure he's going to love.
Toys
Of course it wouldn't be Christmas without toys! Ethan got these lovely toys to review from Learning Resources as an early Christmas present, and he absolutely loves them (read our full review here.)
Another early gift for Ethan were these fun WOW Toys, a brand that we love already. Their toys are always a hit in our house, I love that there are no batteries required but they have fun features that Ethan loves. This is the Construction Crew set that includes Roll it Riley and Lift it Luke, giving Ethan the opportunity to make his own little construction site and pretend to build all sorts of things.
Another great gift idea for three year olds in craft supplies! There are so many things that Ethan can make now, so it's always good to have lots of crafty bits in the house, play dough, coloured pencils, lots of paper, glue, paint and so many more things. Getting messy and crafty is a great way to learn the skills that he'll need to start writing soon.
We were also sent this great game of Dotty Dinosaurs from Orchard Toys. It's a fun game and a great way to help learn about colours and shapes, as well as the rules of games, such as turn taking!
We were also lucky enough to be sent the LeapFrog Read With Me Violet to review as a Christmas gift. We love Scout and Violet, so Ethan was excited right away to see a character that he recognised. This is a great gift for a toddler as it teaches early reading skills, you can follow along with the 5 books that Violet reads, and also answer comprehension questions. Of course she is also cute and cuddly, and Ethan has fun playing with her along with his other soft toys.

Clothes
Ethan will be getting some clothes for Christmas as well, of course he will get his traditional pair of pyjamas on Christmas Eve, but he'll also get some fun clothes with his favourite characters on them (like Octonauts and Fireman Sam.)
From Santa
We can't forget the one thing that Ethan has asked Santa for, 'everyone from Frozen' so he'll be getting these Frozen figures, and I hope that he'll be very excited to open them!
