Fine Motor and Sorting Toys
Busy books with fine motor skill practice are a total hit with toddlers! My son is obsessed with buckles currently so he would love this one:
My toddler loves loves loves shape shorter toys. We seriously have one in every room he hangs out in. I recently got him this one and it is great for bringing along with us as well.
These wooden sorter toys are brilliant! I think I’ll be adding this to my son’s list.
Latches and locks are an exciting toy for toddlers as well.
I love puzzles, don’t you?
Toys for Pretend Play
Playmats are also a great gift idea. If your kiddo is super obsessed with cars like mine is, this mat, and the cars of course, make an awesome gift. Bonus points that it can come with you to entertain the toddler when visiting friends or family.
Anything home kitchen and toy food related is a huge hit around here!
A workbench is also a huge hit any time!
This fishing game is both fun, and a fine motor practice. And budget-friendly too!
My son has this chair and it continues to be a hit. So many learning opportunities and it grows with him.
You absolutely can’t go wrong with building blocks!
Here’s another one for car enthusiasts. I’m getting something like this for my kiddo. Shhh don’t tell him.
My son is obsessed with our broom. So maybe one his own size would be a great gift.
Board Books
Board books are always wonderful and I love when my kiddo sits down and peruses what’s on his bookshelf.

Great list! So we actually have the take along shape sorter AND the Melissa and Doug cars and both are really popular in my house! I highly recommend them!
Samantha says
Oooo! I want to get all of these! My girls’ birthday is coming up soon, and then Christmas, and I was totally at a loss! Thank you!
Julie says
Thanks Samantha! With twins do you have to get two of every toy or are they good about alternating?

My daughter is obsessed with buckles. I had no idea that toy existed. She might just have to ask Santa for it this year.

My son is obsessed with them too! He can’t open them but must close them at all times like his high chair and stoller cannot be left un-buckled
Michael says
I immediately loved the busy book!
Elizabeth Doren says
