Everything I personally recommend as a stay-at-home mom to a two-year-old and a former daycare teacher who spent years working in a two-year-old classroom. These are the items I actually use in daily life with my toddler and products I’ve seen work for dozens of children during my daycare career.
From toys that truly support development, to toddler essentials that make daily routines smoother, to must-haves that encourage independence, emotional regulation, and safe exploration; this list is built from real experience, not trends!
As a former daycare teacher, I’m picky about what I recommend: it needs to be practical, durable, age-appropriate, and genuinely beneficial for toddlers. As a SAHM, it also has to make my life easier and hold my child’s attention at home!
If you’re parenting a two-year-old and want tried-and-true recommendations backed by both professional childcare experience and real-life motherhood, this list is for you!🫶
