Toys for 2 year olds

Toys for 2 year olds

Aug 3, 2022

Play is important at this age as it’s how toddlers learn.  Children will enjoy playing with others, playing dress ups, having tea parties, messy painting with fingers or playing ‘rough and tumble’.  Story telling games, singing and reading are also fun things for children to do at this age. 

  • Get physical - play active games with them like running, jumping and climbing. It will give them a taste for activity and help develop their motor skills
  • Get playing – play is the main way children learn and you can fire up your child's imagination by playing pretend play games with their dolls and cuddly toys.
  • Pull along and push along toys are great for their motor skills too and make great gifts for 2 year old boys and girls
  • Musical toys are brilliant to start introducing at this age - let them bash away till their hearts content!
  • Educational puzzles introduce important concepts as well as developing fine motor skills and concentration
