New Grandfather gift dilemma

Something handmade definitely.

When we had DS2, my dad made, for his GS, a wooden train that he could sit on. It has now been well used by his own son, and is still going strong.

My husband enjoyed making wooden toys for our 3.
He worked from this book - I see on The auction site more by him.
I was wondering about a push along trolly, wheelbarrow?
Good luck!

Agree with toybox idea - something that will always come in useful. If you're not up to making it from scratch, you could buy a plain box and paint and decorate it.

If not used for toys at some point it can be adapted for storing other things, too.

I loved the homemade toy box that my fil made many years ago. Its still in my garage storing something or other, because I couldnt stand to throw it out, its a lovely gift.

I think the toy box is a lovely idea.

So do I. I think it's a great idea, easy enough to do and can be personalised in whatever way you choose. It would make an ideal gift.

Start a bank account , get a premium bond , put down some fine wine

Why not ask the parents of the child?

Parents get so many newborn presents that they are barely used

Congrats!

Difficult to say not knowing if you knit, paint, do woodwork, do photography, or the many, many other crafts there are.

How about upcycling a box of some kind to make into a toy chest? Make one if you are good at woodwork, or just paint and decorate a readymade one.
