Toys That Actually Interest My 2-Year-Old
15
items A collection of my almost-2-year-old’s absolute favorite toys… the ones she reaches for every single day. These keep her busy, curious, and happy (and give me a few precious quiet moments).
Now that my daughter recognizes animals, this is such a fun activity for her. There are endless ways to play with it ("Can you bring mommy the ______"; “How many _____'s do you see?”; “What color is the ________?”, etc)
Farm Animal Story Felt Board
I bought this for her when she turned 1, and I feel like she was semi interested then, but she's REALLY into it, now. She knows all the characters and sings all the songs with them. It's really the best screen-free version of a toy that entertains he...
Toniebox 2 Audio Player
Safe on our floors, safe for her to ride (since it's so low to the ground), and she screeches with joy every time I get this thing out. A must in our household.
PlasmaCar Lightning Glow Rider
She's at the stage where she loves taking care of her “babies”. She can strap them into this one. Perfect height for a 2 year old. And very reasonably priced!
My First Baby Doll Stroller
Oh the sticker phase… keeps her entertained FOREVER. I whip these out when I'm making meals and she's entertained the entire time. I like these ones because they are reusable, so I'm not going through 23428347928374 sticker sheets every week :)
Reusable Sticker Books
Melissa & Doug has the cutest stuff. My daughter loves to watch me put on my makeup, and she always wants to be a part of the process. This allows us to play together while Mommy gets ready :)
Melissa & Doug Wooden Beauty Salon Play Set
This toy has single-handedly taught my daughter her colors. She loves sorting all the balls, scooping them out of the bowl… but also throwing them everywhere lol. The materials are safe and made of great quality.
Color Sorting and Counting Montessori Toy
She is obsessed with stomping on this thing. It has multiple settings, so it not only makes key sounds, but also animal sounds, sings songs, etc.
Floor Piano Mat
If Mommy is cleaning, she wants to help. This allows her to! She loves to pretend sweep the most. Such a cute toy that she loves so much.
Melissa & Doug Dust Sweep Mop 6-Piece Set
This is one I'll pull out when we're at restaurants. Fill the “pen” with water, and the black and white pages turn to color when she “colors” on it. She loves it!
Aqua Art Book
There's a few different versions of this puzzle, but she loves that it makes sound when she puts the puzzle piece in it's correct spot (this one will make the sound of the animal she's playing with). The pieces are wooden and amazing quality. Very ea...
Melissa & Doug Farm Animals Sound Puzzle (8 pcs)
I got this for her WAY too early, so she has bent a lot of the cards, but she's obsessed with it now that she's closer to 2. It makes a really satisfying “click” noise when she puts the card into the reader, which she loves, then the reader will say ...
Sight Words Flash Cards - Audible Educational Toy
This is another one I'll take out when we're at restaurants. It's great because the pen is attached to the tablet, so she can't lose it. Too, you can reset the screen so she can start her drawing over again. It's not a bright light or anything, so re...
LCD Writing Tablet
There are lots of different versions out there of this toy, but I like this one because the colors are the most vibrant, and the insides of the fruits/veggies mimic what the inside of the fruit/veggie actually looks like (i.e. the watermelon is red w...
Play Food Set
Okay, I know it's not a “toy”, per say, but she's OBSESSED with dressing up on costumes right now. Amazon has amazing ones that won't break the bank.
