Project for my little girls 1st birthday... Ideas?
« on: January 17, 2016, 06:16:29 AM »
For my sons first birthday I restored a 1950's Cyclops Jeep pedal car.
He's two now and absolutely loves it! (when he's allowed to play with it).
Now I've got a little girl I need to start thinking about what to do for her? 
Any ideas?

Smiles, hugs and kisses. What else could a 1 year old need?!  ;)  Pretty soon she will be a demonic teenager that knows everything so just enjoy the first 12 years and don't let them slip by.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

+1 on the hugs and kisses....and time goes by so quickly.
When my girls where a little bit older, I built a doll house the way the mother in laws house was built. I have all the tools so it didn't take long.It was pretty detailed so I tinkered with it when they were asleep and gave it to them both because I wasn't going to do it twice. What did take a while was loading it with furniture. Took years. Every year we filled it in , they still had an interest in it around 12 years old. I found  too late that the best way to by the furniture is to know someone in the retail trade ....and buy all the furnishings at once at a trade show at  a little more than wholesale...you can't believe how pricey miniature furnishings are.
 Since then, Nanna's house has been sold and the girls grew up to start families of there own, the dollhouse is in the attic waiting for the Grandchildren to be old enough to play with it. Hopefully , it's a gift that keeps on giving thru the generations.
A few Honda 500's, a few Honda 550's, a few Honda 650's, '72 cb 450, a couple 500/550/650 hybrids, and 2001 750.

Get her a Jeep also!*

Jeeps are awesome.  Everyone should have a Jeep.

Keep it simple for now.  As they get older, like 4, they want bigger and shinier things.

We used to rush our kids, always getting older presents - like RC Jeep for my son when he was little and he was afraid of it  ;D

LOL you have to buy TWO!

Frankly for a one year, the box is always better than the dollhouse that came in it.

Build her a different pedal car. She will probably want one too. Even if it has to be a princess pedal car.
