Your little New Yorker has great expectations; here are a few gift ideas sure to please inner and outer borough babes alike.
The Uptown Kids
Spark tiny imaginations with wooden castles, play kitchens, and handmade costumes from Enchanted. Or make them reach for the stars with Journey to the Moon: A Roaring, Soaring Ride! (E.A.T. Gifts, 1062 Madison Avenue; 212-861-2544).
The Downtown Crew
Hip kids will love tees from Biome5 — the vibrant graphics help them with letters and animal names. For a more artistically hands-on approach, try Squiggles: a Really Giant Drawing and Painting Book.
The Brooklyn and Beyond Bunch
Kee-ka’s terry hooded towels make bath time fun. Or explore the rest of the world with the All About Geography gift set from Citibabes.
Who says you can’t cover a lot of ground?
