Toddlers can be a pretty fun age group to shop for during the holidays. Their amazement of everything new makes gifting exciting as you can see their eyes light up with joy. Plus, who doesn’t love picking up an adorable stuffed animal (or two) for their favorite little toddler.
While this holiday gift guide doesn’t include any stuffed animals, there are a bunch of other great gifts that are sure to be enjoyed for years to come. As a bonus for parents, none of these items require batteries!
Super Holiday Gift Guide for Toddlers
Super Holiday Gift Guide for Toddlers
Check out these great gifts that are sure to bring delight when unwrapped.
STICK O Magnetic Toy
These building toys utilize magnets to hold the masterpiece together. They come in a variety of shapes, and are from the makers of Magformers. The different shapes and colors build a foundation for STEM concepts, and are great for open ended play.
squid socks
Squid Socks are seriously the only socks that Emmett doesn't remove by the time we get out of the neighborhood. They are a lightweight material and come in a variety of fun patterns.
Play Kitchen
Toddlers love imaginative play. A play kitchen is a fun way for them to engage in the world around them, and imitate what they see in their own kitchens.
Crepes & Co Waffle Wooden Cart
Looking for something a bit out of the ordinary for play food? Instead of a kitchen, go for this crepe & waffle cart! It is absolutely adorable and I think it would be a super fun addition to any playroom.
Wooden Wobble Balance Board
Emmett loves playing on his Pikler triangle and climbing to the very top. A balance board is another great toy that can be used to work on gross motor skills, or used in other imaginative play such as using it as a bridge for cars to drive on.
Manhattan Toy Baby Stella Boy
Baby Stella (and Baby Fella) are super cute and squishy. The dolls come in a variety of skin tones, and feature a magnetic pacifier.
Giant 12-Piece Rainbow Stacker
Emmett is going to be unwrapping this rainbow stacker on Christmas morning. I see it being used in lots of fun building projects in the next few years.
Wooden Large Building Blocks
Emmett got these sensory blocks for his birthday and they are a daily play staple. He likes to look through the blocks, make towers, and especially knock down towers.
MontiKids Subscription
MontiKids offers a quarterly subscription of Montessori toys. Each box is curated to be developmentally appropriate and promote various learning foundations.
Bounce House
Emmett is going to get years of play out of this bounce house. Currently, his favorite aspect is to go down the slide, but he is catching on to the actual bouncing aspect. This one is large enough to last for years, but small enough that it can be set up in the garage.
Soft & Cozy Pajamas
Thanks to quarantine, we spend a lot of time in comfy clothes. There are some days that Emmett stays in his pajamas all day. We love Hanna Andersson pajamas as they are soft, and they easily hold up to whatever mess he puts them through.
Prince Lionheart Wheely Bug
This bug began as a push toy that Emmett would use as he learned to walk. Now that he's getting a bit taller, he is able to ride it as intended. This high quality ride-on bug would be a fun item to open on Christmas morning.
Little Tikes Cozy Coupe
I'm pretty sure that every toddler needs a Cozy Coupe at some point in their lives. It is a fun toy to ride around the driveway or backyard and can be incorporated into lots of play activities.
Lovevery Subscription
Lovevery is another quarterly subscription box. It is full of Montessori inspired toys and educational materials. In addition to the Play Kits subscription boxes, Lovevery also has a great block set!
Stocks
Now, the stock account would need to be managed by a parent or guardian, but why not set kids up for their future with some tried and true stocks with dividends. If you sing up for Robinhood using this link, they'll give you one share of a random stock.
