Recently Added: Hape Railway Bucket Builder Set (USA, Canada)- I love this train set! So easy to clean up and put away. It’s so fun how the buckets are part of the set up. I purchased this for my son’s 2nd birthday.
Car Carrier (USA, Canada): We gave this to our son for Christmas when he was 2 and it was his favorite gift!
Beauty Salon (USA, Canada): 5 out of 5 stars! If your little one loves makeup, nail polish and hair then this is a must. Rated for 3+ but I find it great for 2 year olds with supervision.
Play Food Food Groups (USA, Canada): We have had great luck with this play food set. They love it!
Sound Puzzle (USA, Canada): Helps toddlers with their animals and animal sounds. Must be used in a bright room!
Play Sink with Running Water (USA, Canada): This will guaranteed be one of their favorite gifts! I love this one since the accessories change colors.
Construction Utensil Set (USA, Canada): How cute is this! I am definitely picking one of these sets up this year for my toddlers
Birthday Cake (USA, Canada): My 2 year old loves birthdays and candles! This has been so fun to set up and play with. My 3 year old loves it too!
Balance Bike (USA, Canada): I am so thankful that I got a balance bike for my 3 year old. He is amazing with it! I wish I had gotten it earlier. This one is for 18months - 5 years old. My 18 month old definitely wasn’t ready for it but he is at 2! Great for indoors as well.
Magnetic Ice Cream Set (USA, Canada): Play food is going to be a big hit at this age. This set is magnetic and allows you to pick up the ice cream with the scoop and stack it high on the cone! This is so loved at our house.
Mess free Art Kit (USA, Canada): At 2, my son still wants to mark on everything if I give him the chance. That is why we love these mess free kits. So great for travel and restaurants as well.
Bath Slide (USA, Canada): Seriously one of the best finds I made for my toddlers! They love this slide that sticks to the tub for their cars!
Shape Sorter (USA, Canada): This was a great shape sorter for my 2 year old. When we first started, I covered up some of the shapes with painters tape until he was ready to do the whole thing.
Mix it Up Book (USA, Canada): We love this interactive book! If you haven’t read “Press Here” then you may want to start with that or even get both!
Dimpl Digits (USA, Canada): You can’t go wrong with this brand. I love how nice and big it is. Make sure you get the name brand and not a knock off.
Bath Boat with Helicopter (USA, Canada): This will win bath time for years! Our helicopter has been used so much and thrown down the stair so many times. It’s stick kickin!
Potato Head Family Kit (USA, Canada): Create your own potato head family! I love how this comes with the little baby. So cute!
Reindeer (USA, Canada): If you have ever felt a Jelly Cat stuffed animal then you KNOW this reindeer needs to be added to the collection.
Crawl through Tunnel (USA, Canada): Easy to clean and put away. So great to use inside and outside!
Montessori Placemat & Utensils (USA & Canada): Learn to set the table with this quality kit. The napkin even has lines on it to help with learning how to fold.
Micro Kickboard Scooter (USA, Canada): This 3 wheeled scooter is incredibly strong! Just check out the amazing reviews and the 2 year warranty. Seriously, gold standard!
Wagon with Sun Shade (USA, Canada): This wagon was a lifesaver for me with 2 toddlers. I also love how the wheels are quiet!
Ride on Train with track (USA, Canada): This will be the winner of Christmas morning I am sure! How fun is this Ride on Train!
Stepping Stones (USA, Canada): Active play is so important for 2 year olds. These stones make it so easy to set up an obstacle course indoors or outdoors.
Shape Sorter Cement Truck (USA, Canada): I love toys that have more that one use!
Soft Play Corner Climber (USA, Canada): Definitely pricey but worth it for all the hours of fun had! Just check the reviews!
Plasma Car (USA, Canada): Even though you see other brands with the same car for cheaper, I would go for the “Original Plasma Car.”
Magnetic Tiles: THE MOST USED TOY I’VE EVER PURCHASED! Do not let the price deter you. These will be used for years. I prefer Connetix or Magnatiles (USA, Canada) for safety as well as magnet strength.
Bilibo Chair (USA, Canada): Such a simple design with endless ways to play and use the imagination.
Little People House (USA, Canada): We love Little People by Fisher Price and this house is no exception.
Mixaroo Cuddly Creature (USA, Canada- not available yet, will update. You can order from the USA link as well): Mix and match 12 easy-stick pieces to make Mixaroo unique! My 2 year old loves using his imagination and creating different creatures with this. So cute!
