Activities my son has loved since the toddler stage. I add new things as he grows
A classic. And now they have multiple different sets which have characters kids are familiar with and mimic the Lego sets.
DUPLO® Building Bricks & Sets
These sets were great as my son grew into his toddler years! The pieces have specific purposes but are open ended enough that each one can teach multiple different things (colors, shapes, size, weight, mass, etc)
Lovevery
Another classic that my son (and I) love. They are the perfect size for little hands, easy to clean, can go in the bath (most) and you can find lots of options that do not make noise! They allow imagination
Little People Toys & Playsets
One of the BEST toys! No sounds, but keeps your toddlers attention! Great for letters (duh), colors, characters.
Sesame Street Elmo's On The Go Letters
Ditto for this one, too (from the Elmo letter version). My son loves these toys and I appreciate the fun learning experience and no sounds
Sesame Street On The Go Letters & Numbers
These are fun for all ages, just like Lego. We've built Robots, trains, etc. They do come apart easily but that's a good learning experience for most kids.
PicassoTiles Hedgehog Block Tiles Toy
This train track is perfect for a small space and as a first set. It's not too complicated or intricate for little hands!
Wooden Railway Set
So much fun! It can be frustrating with a younger toddler who doesn't understand pressure and how it can disconnect the parts but it's all part of the learning process. And making it fun helps!
