Room for a Baller
Such a fun way to display sports stuff, books, and little treasures in his room. I love that it’s functional storage but still feels playful and boyish.
Sport Shelving (41")
Little Helper
I love toys that let him actually participate with us instead of just pretending from across the room. This little Montessori kitchen setup gives him his own kid-sized space for cooking and practical-life play.
13-Piece Montessori Kids Kitchen Toy Set
For the toddler who wants to “help” with absolutely everything. I love that this lets him copy what we’re doing while practicing real-life skills.
Dreamon 14Pcs Kids Toy Cleaning Set
Dress-up without limiting him to just one character. I love having several pretend-play options he can pull out and create his own little adventures with.
Boy's 11pcs Dress Up Role Play Set
An astronaut costume was too cute to pass up. Perfect for imaginative play now and something he can use for dress-up and Halloween later.

Sports + Active Play
He is getting his own little basketball setup! Adjustable so it can grow with him and perfect for getting some energy out while working on coordination.
3-IN-1 Kids Basketball & T Ball Set Ages 3-8
Basically toddler sports practice in one toy. He can kick, throw, and shoot, so it gives him lots of different ways to play instead of being interested for five minutes and moving on.
Little Tikes Punt Pass and Shoot: Sports Ball Set for Ages 3+ with 3 Balls
Building + Learning
One of those toys that can grow with him for years. Great for colors and shapes now and bigger building, problem-solving, and creativity as he gets older.
PicassoTiles 100 Piece Clear Magnetic Tiles
I love open-ended toys that get him moving and thinking at the same time. He can build different setups, practice balance, and completely change how he plays with it as he gets older.

Backyard Adventures
This feels like the ultimate toddler backyard hangout. I love that it combines pretend play, sensory play, and outdoor time under a shaded canopy.
Step2 All Around Playtime Patio with Canopy
The BIG Christmas gift. A water slide, splash pool, and bounce area all in one means this should get a ton of use once warm weather comes back.
