Choosing the Best Toys for Toddlers
The Best Toddler Toys
We live in a small space and don’t have room for a lot of toys, so it is really important to us that all of our toys are engaging, interactive, and fun!
The best toys engage your child, encourage creativity, and inspire open-ended and pretend play. Inspiring your child to think creatively, solve problems, and learn through play will give them the skills they need to develop and learn as babies, toddlers, and even preschoolers! And of course, every child is unique and has varying interests, likes, and preferences that need to be considered as well.
In addition to the ideas below, toddlers may enjoy a toddler table, learning tower, easel, or water table, depending on how much space you have!
Here are some examples/ideas:
- Tool set
- Building materials: Blocks, Duplos, Bristle Blocks, Magnetic blocks
- Anything Melissa and Doug is usually good for creative play
- Art supplies / Play Doh
- The Melissa and Doug WaterWow collection is awesome for mess-free art time!
- Books: Building a Toddler Library
- Balance Bike
- Scooter/Ride On Toy – my son calls this one his motorcycle and loves it!
And be sure to join Naptime Deals so you don’t miss a great deal when these toys as well as other great recommendations for moms go on sale!
