Kitchen helpers
Our little guy loves to help in the kitchen. He uses this daily!
HARPPA Toddler Tower with Adjustable Height and Anti-Slip Protection, Kids Standing Tower with Safety Rail, Nordi Kids Kitchen Tower with Chalkboard, Natural - Walmart.com
My toddler lover this kitchen set! Didn't buy it from here, but they are available in many stores. (this had good pics)
13-piece Montessori kitchen utensils for toddlers – Real cooking set for little chefs
Sleep
We have this even in the toddler's floor bed because he will otherwise "fall" from the bed.
Regalo Swing Down Bed Rail Guard with Reinforced Anchor Safety System, Metal Frame, 43" Long, Fits Twin to Queen Beds - Walmart.com
The stuffy nose saviour!
There are also cheaper options where you suck the yuck, but this is much more efficient! Well worth the money!
Frida Baby Electric NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator for Baby and Toddler, Upgraded Nasal Aspirator for Congestion Relief, 0+ Months
Everyday essentials
These are a must have. We have 2 to rotate.
KLADDIG bib, multicolor - IKEA
One of these mats has been enough, we always hand wash it. Toddler can easily throw it on the floor but I find it stays on the table longer than just plates. And as long as there is something to eat, the toddler doesn't throw it.
Mini Feeding Set - Walmart.com
I don’t want food touching plastic or silicone more than needed, so this ceramic set work so well for toddlers learning to eat. (High sides for easy scooping and just loving the lid for storing leftovers!)
Whale Shark Dinnerware Set - Childish Plates Tableware | Maisonette
This is still relevant in the toddler phase. The best mugs I've found. No spilling (only a little when thrown on the floor lol).
Munchkin® Miracle® 360° Toddler Sippy Cup, 10 oz, Blue/Green, Unisex, 2 Pack - Walmart.com
Fits in the overhead locker in planes! So this is the best to travel with. Also super easy and lightweight so we prefer to use this when going to the city.
YOYO³ stroller from 6 months
Play and learning
Our now 3-year old looooves to help. This allows you to vaccuum with the real vaccuum when the toddler is also entertained and feels important 😅
Casdon Dyson Cordless Vacuum - Interactive Toy Dyson Vacuum for Children Aged 3+ Realistic Role-Play Fun
Great for toddlers and older kids. Even the baby loves these! So many different things you can create.
Magna Tiles - Walmart
Such good and durable toys 🥰
DUPLO® | Building Sets & Bricks | Official LEGO® Shop US
Just get a good helmet to go with this. This bike is lightweight so when your toddler gets tired, it is easy to carry.
10" Chillafish Buzzi Balance Bike for Kids 1.5 Years and Older, Lightweight Toddler Bike, Black - Walmart.com
Great for trips, our toddler loves to draw with this in the car and in the plane. No mess!
2 Pack LCD Writing Tablet for Kids 10 inch,Doodle Board, Preschool Toys for 3+ Kids
Push walker for babies and toddlers learning to walk. Our first went from crawling straight to walking with this (skipping all fours).
