15 Gift Ideas for Toddlers
Monday, December 3, 2012


It's Sweet Pea's Birthday week here at our house and the countdown begins to my baby turning TWO!
And in the spirit of birthdays and the up coming Holidays, I have been doing a ton of research on good gifts to give toddlers. Plus, I had multiple people ask me what to get her.
So here are the 15 Top Gift Ideas for Toddlers that I have Found:
Help With Small Motor Skills:
1. Puzzles
Love these Hand Crafted Chunky Puzzles by Melissa & Doug.
2. Blocks
3. Coloring Books and Crayons

Speech Encouraging Products:
4. "Leap Frog: Phonics Farm"
This movie has helped my daughter tremendously! She can now recognize letters and I give a great deal of credit to this movie.
5. Flash Cards
6-7. Apptivities and Apps
There are tons of free apps but having a variety and mixing it up would pretty awesome as well. Get your niece or nephew (*wink*wink* Bubba) the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Apptivity iPhone Case or the iPad one Plus a $10 iTunes Gift Card. All in one gift and the parents will be grateful because you saved their electronics from dangerous little hands.

Imaginative Play:
8. Bubbles
9. Clothes, yes as toys.
Encourages creative play! Sweet Pea loves shoes and hats! And any accessories. :)

10. Plushies, Baby Dolls, and the like.
No doubt you know why I'm partial to these Dreamy Sounds Soothie plushies from Disney Baby. Great for little babies and your toddler baby too.
Large Motor Skills:
11. Balls!
My daughter has a slight obsession with balls. It was one of the first words she said very well and whenever she sees still to this day, it's "Ball, Ball, Ball, Ball". :)

12. Tricycle
We got Sweet Pea the Little Tikes 3-in-1 Trike because it can grow with her and adjust to her skill level.
13. JumpStart Trampoline
At this age, Toddlers don't really jump. They just don't have the balance for it. But this can help them with that! It can teach them to jump by helping them gradually gain their balance, plus it provides safer bouncing for all.
Overall just awesome fun!:
14. Kid Friendly Music CDs.
Learning to read music is like reading another language. Click HERE to read 12 Benefits of Music Education.
FREE Personalized Elmo song & Sesame Street downloads, just enter email addy and promo code: myelmo. {Redeem Now}
FREE Cedarmont Kids Sampler {Redeem Now}
15. A Zoo or Aquarium Membership!
Our zoo membership was the Best Purchase of the year for us! And if I hadn't gotten into a car accident and had transportation for the second half of the year, it would have been better. But with Toddlers, an all day out at parks isn't an option. They still need their down time, but with a membership you can whenever you want, when it fits around your schedule, plus you aren't pressured to see everything in one day.

Did you find this list helpful? What are you planning on buying your toddler or a toddler close to your heart?
