We got a drum kit for Elsa's second birthday, but I'm not satisfied and we're sending it back. Any suggestions for a good quality "real" drum kit for a two-year old? It should have a bass, snare, tom and at least one cymbal. I don't care about the stool. A nice sparkly candy apple green or coppertone would be nice.
Oh, and feel free to leave comments, condolences or a rant about how awesome/stupid it is to buy a two-year-old a drum kit.
Elsa's grandparents are taking us to Hawaii for Thanksgiving (!). Any suggestions for things see and do and places to go will be great. Elsa (two years old, a trooper, likes cheese, pizza and bacon) is coming too. All the guide books say don't take a kid to Hawaii, so any toddler-friendly ideas will be really great.
