10 gifts for your toddler… that won’t lose their luster!

December 11, 2022

We encourage open ended play and provide toys/items for our toddler to use with this in mind. In addition, we choose to avoid screens, flashing lights, buttons for noise and batteries for most items. Children can be picky and change their interests often (that’s a good thing!) these 10 toys and items have remained in rotation in our home. This list is in no particular order and of varied price points!

1. Wooden Rainbow Building Blocks

2. Easel with pull down paper

* Pro tip: save the paper and reuse it to wrap gifts every year. A fun way to make your presents more personal.

3. Chalk of different shapes and colors

4. Teeth brushing and labeling practice set

5. Cleaning Set but swap out for a real duster… why fake dust when they can actually dust!

6. Bear Puzzle with different clothes and expressions. A great way to start labeling emotions and appropriate clothing for the weather.

7. Learning Tower

A great way to teach practical skills, involve kids in the kitchen, and create more independence. See my other post for more ideas!

8. Sink

or a Mud Kitchen!

9. Water Table ( we bring this in our master bath tub in the winter sometimes!)
