11 Perfect Toys for Toddlers

When it comes to birthdays and holidays, my older kids have no problem telling me exactly what they’re wish for, but my youngest hasn’t quite reached that point. If you have little ones, you may be facing the same problem. But have no fear- I’m here to help! The toy options are endless, but I’ve narrowed it down to 11 great options for your favorite toddler!

Retro Wooden Play Kitchen

One of my daughter’s all-time favorite gifts was her play kitchen. She spends hours cooking and baking for our family. The Teamson Kids One Piece Wooden Play Kitchen Set is a beautifully designed play kitchen that will provide endless hours of imaginative play.

Melissa & Doug, Let’s Play House! Dust Sweep & Mop Set

Mommy’s little helper enjoys making messes, and they will love cleaning with their own broom and mop! These household tools are the perfect size for your child to enjoy.

Step 2 Jumbo Art Easel

Your budding artists will create countless masterpieces using their Step 2 Jumbo Art Easel. The easel includes both a whiteboard and chalkboard side and storage bins to keep all art supplies close by and organized.

Leapfrog Scoop and Learn Ice Cream Cart

Calling all ice cream lovers! This adorable Ice Cream Cart will elevate “playing store” to a whole new level, and your little one will love taking orders and serving customers from their portable ice cream shop!

Vtech Drill and Learn Toy

My son loves his toy drill and spends hours playing with it! The Vtech Drill and Learn Toolbox teaches kids about colors and numbers and includes toddler-friendly tools that fit neatly into the toolbox.

Baby Einstein Together Duo Connected Magic Instruments

These musical instruments are truly magical and will bring hours of (noisy!) fun! The drum and piano wirelessly sync to create realistic music, making this an excellent gift if you have more than one young child in your home.

Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker

A milestone that every parent is anxious and excited about is their child’s first step. While every child takes those first steps at their own pace, the Sit to Stand Walker grows with your child – from making tummy time more enjoyable with the detachable panel to being cheered on with each step by their favorite barnyard animals.

This 3-in-1 toy is ideal for your favorite one-year-old. Available in 3 adorable Skip Hop characters- the dog, unicorn, or fox- it easily converts from a walker to a ride-on toy to a scooter and will be used for many years to come!

Melissa and Doug Latches Board

This is a favorite in our house! My oldest received it as a gift for his first Christmas, and it has produced many hours of quiet play. I love the bright colors, cute hide-and-seek pictures, and brass latches and locks that encourage the development of fine motor skills.

Katie, with her amazing husband and 4 enthusiastic children, lives in the land of controlled chaos. While she might not know how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie-Roll center of a Tootsie-Pop, she does know the best thing to remove diaper paste from every inch of a child's bedroom (and their younger brother). When she's not carting kids to and from school, practice, or a game, Katie loves a delicious cup of coffee with a good book or preferably a great friend (which is a nice way of saying she locks herself in the bathroom for 45 seconds to guzzle down coffee she made two hours ago, in peace).
