It’s starting to get chilly, finally. And as it becomes fall, I know that means it’s almost time for our littlest to turn 2. I’m going to do another post about what I hope to do for his birthday this year (he’s OBSESSED with Bluey right now). But since we’re thinking of what to get him for his birthday, I’ve put together a list of fun toddler appropriate type toys.
We’ve been on the hunt for gifts that not only provide hours of fun but also boost development and growth – minus the tech. So, if you’re on the lookout for some non-electronic goodness, keep reading!
- Plush Building Blocks: I cannot stress enough the word PLUSH. While wooden blocks are great, my two year old loves to destroy stuff. So if he can build a tower and push it down, he will … over and over again. So we love plush building blocks to make super tall towers.
2. Paint Sticks: We love these so much. They act like paint, but dry rather quickly and are perfect for little hands.
3. Balance Bike: Perfect for the active toddler, a balance bike helps in developing coordination and balance without the training wheels. Plus, it’s a fun way to burn off some energy! KRIDDO and this Retrospec Cub 2 are my start suggestions.
4. Play Kitchen Set: Who’s up for some pretend play? A play kitchen lets your child whip up imaginative dishes, helping them with role play and boosting their imagination.
- Magnetic Drawing Board: A no-mess way for your toddler to sketch and doodle. Plus, it’s great for car trips and restaurants.
- Dress-Up Clothes: Whether it’s a superhero cape, fairy wings, or animal costumes, dress-up clothes can transport toddlers to any world they dream up, promoting imaginative play.
- Musical Instruments Set: Think tambourines, maracas, and mini drums. While it might be a bit noisy for you, it’s a fun way for them to explore sounds and rhythms.
Finding the right gift can sometimes feel like a maze, but I’m hoping this list lights up the path for you. Here’s to celebrating our growing toddlers, the joy they bring into our lives, and the milestones they achieve, one toy at a time!
You can then personalize the list with any specific products or brands you’ve had your eyes on, or you can link to your affiliate links for readers to explore and purchase.
