These are my toddler's favorite things. He’s rough on toys and these have held up to the test. Great gift ideas, too!

Favorite toys!
My son loves playing with tools so this was the perfect set. He can unscrew things on each vehicle and put them back together.
TOY Life Construction Trucks Take Apart Set
My 2 year old plays with this all the time. He's had it for a year. Best for kids who can walk and don't treat it like something that can help them learn to walk.
VTech Pop-a-Balls Push and Pop Bulldozer, Yellow
Must have for a two-tier water table. It's small, so it doesn't take up much space, and it keeps the water flowing through the top.
Kids Water Table Pump for Outdoor Play
Must-have! We use this multiple times a day and in the car. It's handy because it's relatively small for traveling. My kids can listen to what they want to. You can limit the maximum volume from the app. The collection of tonies can grow over time.
Toniebox Disney Starter Set with 5 Characters - Light Blue
This has a variety of activities in it. Some are better for older kids. We use this often at restaurants as well as on long road trips.
Qizfun Montessori Busy Board Toy for 1-4 Years
Perfect way to keep your water table from being ruined by the outdoors. It hooks on the legs so it won't blow away in storms.
Aacabo Kids Water Table Cover - Waterproof
Water tables are so convenient for water play without having to blow up and drag out a pool, then add toys. It's all in one. This requires about 20 minutes of assembly.
Step2 Rain Showers Splash Pond Toddler Water Table
These are so fun if you have a bubble lover! They make so many bubbles. They don't come with many bubbles, so make sure you buy a refill bottle.
Zealous 2pc Automatic Bubble Guns w/ Light
My son got this for his first birthday and it was the perfect time! He started using it right away and a year later it’s still a favorite. You’ll want to get another pack of balls because it doesn’t come with enough for a full ball pit effect.
SHJADE Foam Ball Pit 35.4x11.8 Grey
Additional ball pit balls because the original doesn’t come with enough for a full ball pit effect.
MoonxHome BPA Free Toddler Ball Pit Balls 100
Heavy duty! These are amazing fur kids who are a little more rough with toys. It holds so much and my son loves loading it up and dumping it out.
Tonka Steel Classics Mighty Dump Truck, Yellow
My toddler is passionate about this one. He loves we are the dinosaurs. Can’t recommend enough!
The Laurie Berkner Band
This was a gift for his 2nd birthday and it’s been such a hit. It’s soft and safe to use inside but also fun for outside. He loves that it angles so he can shoot it in different directions.
Stomp Rocket Ultra Launcher - 4 Rockets
My son loves the Netflix show called Trash Truck. This little stuffed truck is his favorite while he watches. He makes the noises that the truck makes on the show and pushes it around.
MerryMakers Trash Truck Plush: 11
Tools galore! My son loves this thing. The tools actually unscrew the whole work bench too so they’re more life-like than some other options. Not too big but not too small for a 2 year old.
WORKPRO Wooden Kids Tool Bench Kit, 3+
Dress up
An awesome Halloween costume! This is perfect for a kid who may not be into a character yet. Who doesn’t love a cute toddler lion?!
TONWHAR Toddlers Halloween Lion Snowsuit
My son can’t wait to be a dinosaur for Halloween this year. It was hard for him to choose from so many options of styles and colors!
TONWHAR Kids Halloween Animal Snowsuit
School things
Cute prints without being over the top! My boy loves the construction equipment one. It’s the perfect size for a toddler and still fits a regular folder.
mygreen Toddler Backpack with Chest Strap
The perfect kid size. The zipper can be unzipped and zipped by my 2 year old easily. Keeps things cool enough to make it to lunch time. Plus a cute pattern he loves!
Kids Insulated Lunch Bag Truck Navy Blue
Best labels for daycare or preschool. They’re customizable, waterproof, and dishwasher safe. It’s great having a variety of sizes!
480 Pcs Waterproof Baby Name Labels for Kids
Books
Fun story for trash truck lovers. Even if you don’t watch the show on Netflix, it’s a cute read.
Trash Truck Board Book for Little Fans
We’ve ready this book multiple times a day since my son turned 1 over a year ago. It’s his absolute favorite and now has some of it memorized. It includes so many different variations of transportation. Highly recommend!
Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? (Where Do...)
A classic. We read this every night before bed. My 2 years old lists all of the animals on the last page now that he knows them all. You can’t beat bringing an oldie into the house to reminisce something you may have read as a child, too!
