items I’ve bought way too many toys over the past 3.5 years and these are things that my 3.5 year old and 1.5 year old ACTUALLY play with daily.
This is the cutest little wood/silicone ice cream toy. Gets played with for HOURS every day by both my boys.

If you don’t already love water wow, I promise you will. It’s mess free. It’s fun from a young age and I have nieces and nephews who still love it at 8 years old! Bonus points if you need your kids to drink more water they will 100% drink it from the...
Water WOW! Animals - ON the GO Travel Activity
YOU NEED THIS GAME. First off, it’s adorable. The fish aren’t too small for kids that still put everything in their mouth and it comes with a bag to carry it. We love taking this to restaurants!
Marlowe & Co Silicone & Wooden Fishing Playset
Just buy these. My 3.5 year old is obsessed. Occupies him for hours every single day.

These are the absolute GOAT. Trust me.
We have the smaller container and take it with us to restaurants!

You know the hype behind magnetic tiles is real (for good reason) we love all of these from Target! So so so good! (For adults too)

Okay if you don’t like things with sounds/music don’t get this. Both my boys love it (1 year old dances to it and 3 year old counts, sings the alphabet, etc) I love it as an educational toy!

Hands down one of the best purchases I have made so far. They are affordable, they are durable and kids of all ages love them (including me, I’m 29).
Drawing Tablets For Toddlers
I highly recommend getting a ride on toy. Every toddler that walks through our door loves playing on these. I know they are ugly, but it’s just temporary right? The joy they bring is priceless. 👌
Fisher-price Ride on Toys
These are slightly ridiculous but after my toddler was obsessed with one at an Airbnb we stayed at, I immediately bought one. Hours of fun, seriously… HOURS.
Bouncy Cow
I wasn’t going to include these but my boys are obsessed with them and I’d be silly not to. We literally have hundreds.
Hot Wheels Cars & Track sets
The OG of toddler toys. If it’s in the budget I highly recommend getting one of these. They are so durable and have been used daily since my older son got it for his first Christmas. We ended up getting a second one because it’s that good.
