The 33 Best Toys For 2-Year-Olds To Keep Toddlers Entertained

Lively 2-year-olds are full of curiosity and always eager to explore their environments. This can making shopping for them a treat as they're extra interested in new things. You can select the best toys for 2-year-olds by appealing to their natural inquisitiveness, activity levels and big imaginations.

For 2-year-olds, "play is critical—it's how kids learn," says Robert Keder, M.D., a pediatrician who specializes in developmental behavior at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. In this age group, kids are big on imitating adults, he adds. "They watch you cook and then fake-cook, or put a 'phone' to their ear," Keder says. "Play is such a great way for kids to understand how things work in the world."

The best toys for 2-year-olds challenge their newfound skills and pique their natural curiosity.

This interest in imaginary play means that play kitchens and playhouses make great gifts for 2-year-olds, as well as developmental toys. Two-year-olds are gaining skills in "everything" at this age, Keder says, but are especially working on their fine motor skills and cognitive skills, like picking up puzzle pieces and trying to figure out how things stack to make certain shapes.

After speaking with Keder, researching top toys and bestsellers and gathering firsthand recommendations from other parents, I put together this story with the best toys for 2-year-olds. After perusing these picks, check out more of our toddler favorites, including the best toddler beds and night lights.

Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory

Standard shape sorting toys are always fun, but little ones can outgrow them quickly once they understand how they work. This shape sorter from Fat Brain is a little different: You push the button to twist the top and change the shapes of the slots, challenging your child to think a little harder to make the objects fit. The shapes are chunky and contoured, making them easy for small hands to grasp.

There's just 10 large pieces in this lively Petit Collage puzzle, but there's much to explore. Little fingers and hands can work to fit the pieces together and then to find all the suggested objects, letting them flex their hand-eye coordination, puzzle and fine motor skills. It's all made on recycled paper with vegetable dyes.

Inno Pad is a really cool toy you can get a lot of mileage out of. The STEM media pad features themed sheets your child (or you) slides into the tablet. Kids quickly learn to insert the sheet and press the star button—it tells the tablet which sheet is in—before interacting with the lesson. The tablet teaches kids about different occupations, weather patterns, animals and more. It's also compact enough to fit into a backpack for on-the-go fun or as a travel day distraction. This might be the best gift my kids have ever received—and they all love to pass it around the car on road trips.

Amazon

Melissa & Doug Solid Wood Building Blocks (60 Pieces)

These natural finish solid wood building blocks from Melissa & Doug encourage open-ended playtime, and they're just the right size for toddlers' hands. I've had these blocks in my house since my son was one—he's now nearly 10, and his three younger siblings have all continued to play with them.

The wooden Lovevery Montessori Playshelf isn't a toy exactly, but it does allow for easier access and organization of all their favorite playthings—which are likely starting to multiply at this age. This isn't an inexpensive purchase, but what we especially love about it is the hidden storage compartment in the back. This makes it easier to stow toys away and rotate them, too. It might just encourage independent cleanup time, too. It doesn't come with toys, but it does come with two storage trays and two bins.

Amazon

The pieces are large enough that you don't have to worry about younger siblings accidentally swallowing them.

Once they're done, simply rinse off the toy and stow it away.

Tender Leaf Toys Stacking Forest

This stacking toy is so adorable, children don't even realize they're learning. It features 19 wood animals that can be stacked and rearranged to make cool scenes. Bonus: It doubles as décor when it's left out, as we've discovered in my house.

Buckles, laces and buttons—little kids just have to play with everything, and this board is stacked with must-touch features to keep them busy. It entertained my toddler for a solid 20 minutes on a road trip, and she loves to go back and use it again and again. It folds up and has handles for easy carrying.

Amazon

Step2 Fun With Friends Kitchen

Most kids gravitate toward pretend kitchens, and it's easy to see why—they're just fun. They get to act like grown-ups, there are a bunch of cool accessories and sometimes these things make actual noise or light up. Step2's kitchen features a pretend stovetop with lights and sounds, a single-serve coffee maker (and travel mug) and a slew of other appliances, including a microwave and fridge. The set includes 24 accessories like dishes and cookware, so your little one can serve you "dinner." And, because it's plastic, it's easy to wipe clean when the need strikes. A play kitchen will entertain them right into elementary school and sometimes for longer.

This new action-packed Duplo set offers plenty for toddlers to check out. There's a seesaw, a doggie to walk, a slide and swing and even a little skateboard. After the 75-piece chunky set is assembled (yes, you might need to help), little ones can use their imaginations to create exciting scenes with the included figures.

The iPlay Zebra Hopper is a near-guaranteed jaw-dropping gift—and yet, it's fairly affordable at $34. This toy is inflated with the help of an included hand pump before kids can hop on top. It's also covered in a removable and washable plush cloth cover that's soft to the touch.

Amazon

Step2 Little Helper's Shopping Cart

My daughter has one in her room, and it's her go-to spot for "reading" and other leisurely activities. It also doubles as a pretend friend, taking part in occasional tea parties. The plush is incredibly soft to the touch and the chair provides plenty of support for little ones to sit in.

Amazon

This sweet set has a bunch of elements toddlers will love. The barn has room for a slew of animals to play, along with pretend carrots and hay they can snack on. The set comes with five figurines—four animals and a farmer—and has several spots that make noise. Once playtime is over, just close the farm and carry it with the built-in handle.

Many pretend doctor kits have a minimum age of 3. This CoComelon kit feature's the show's musical checkup case, along with four play pieces—a stethoscope, thermometer, needle and hammer. Press the button on the outside for a fun song.

Amazon

Little Tikes Dirt Diggers Mini Dump Truck

A good dump truck can haul toys, sand, dirt and more for little ones. This mini truck has a back flap that flips up to release goods, along with wide wheels that can roll through just about anything. At just 6.5 inches long, it's small enough to toss in a backpack and take to the park.

This new 9-inched stuffed animal from GUND is straight from the pups new movie—Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie. If you have a little Paw Patrol fan on your hands, this is a great gift for them to snuggle with but also pretend play as they work the fearless Skye or Chase into their many fun scenarios.

Amazon

Skip Hop Kids' 3-In-1 Ride On Scooter And Wagon Toy

Skip Hop is known for its adorable animal-themed gear, and this toy doesn't disappoint. It features the face of the brand's beloved dog cartoon on the front of a ride-on toy your little one can use for years. Stage one lets your child use it as a walking accessory, and stage two is a seated rider they can scoot around your living room or driveway, making it a great outdoor toy for 2-year-olds, too. For stage three, simply pop off the seat to turn the toy into a scooter. The handlebars easily adjust up and down with your child.

This was gifted to my 3-year-old last year, and she's used it as a rider and scooter. It's incredibly easy to pop the seat on and off, allowing her to switch between the two stages.

Amazon

Radio Flyer Deluxe Steer And Stroll Ride On Trike

Many 2-year-olds aren't quite ready to pedal, but this Radio Flyer tricycle has that all figured out. Little ones can practice their riding position while a caregiver pushes (and steers) them using the removable handle. This is a big hit with my daughter when we're out for walks—it allows her to feel like she's "biking," even though she doesn't quite have the endurance for longer distances. Once your child is ready to try it solo, remove the rear handle and kids can zoom along on their own. They'll likely love ringing the little bell, as well as filling the rear trunk with their favorite possessions or new finds picked up during their ride.

USA-Made

Light enough for a toddler to pull (it's less than a pound), this Green Toys wagon can be used indoors or outdoors for all sorts of play. We love that it's even dishwasher safe but also made in the U.S. And free of BPA, phthalates and PVC.

Amazon

Strider 12-Inch Classic Balance Bike

Balance bikes are now the preferred method for teaching kids how to ride, so if you have an extra active 2-year-old they might be ready for this Strider bike, which is great for beginners. Both the seat and the handlebars adjust up and down, allowing parents to get the perfect fit for their toddler.

That grass isn't going to mow itself. Allow this cheery Melissa & Doug mower to do the work as your child pretends to aid your lawn work. The mower features a roomy storage compartment for toys, along with dials that turn and make noise, a pull-cord that makes a motor sound and even a plastic fuel can to pretend to fill up.

This Fire Truck ride-on toy is sure to make them feel grown-up as they drive themselves from one imaginary emergency to another. Toddlers can use their own feet to push them across the floor with this ride-on toy, because it sits low enough to the ground. The ladder and bell details are also nice, and its steel wheels with rubber tires mean it may last through several siblings.

Amazon

ArtCreativity Rainbow Playground Ball

This outdoor toy is incredibly simple, but that's part of its charm. At this age, Keder says that kids are happy to kick and throw a ball around—and it helps work on their motor skills. The ArtCreativity playground ball is made of a sturdy PVC that can stand up to rough play, while a patterned exterior is easy for little hands to grip. My kids received this for Christmas a few years ago and still use it to play kickball, dodgeball and just toss around the yard. It's soft enough for little ones, too.

Walmart

Little Tikes Turtle Sandbox

This sweet sandbox has been a fixture in my backyard for several years. It easily withstood snowstorms, rain and even a hurricane. The shell-slash-lid goes on securely to keep out the elements (and critters) and extend the life of your sand.

Keep in mind that these are rated for ages 3 and up per the manufacturer, so you'll need to ensure supervision.

Why Trust Forbes Vetted

Forbes Vetted has an extensive history of compiling gift guides for kids of all ages, from 1-year-olds to teens. In the baby and kids gear category, we prioritize safety, taking into consideration any recalls, health and federal guidelines and potential hazards before considering an item. We use our firsthand experience as parents to look at what toys and gifts our own children have liked, and we speak to experts in the field and other parents for further guidance and recommendations. We also look at reviews of products and take note of any consistent positive or negative feedback.

To choose the best toys for 2-year-olds, I consulted with child development specialist Dr. Keder and real parents for their top picks. I'm also the parent to four children under the age of 10. I've tried a number of these toys with own family, and I included that firsthand feedback throughout the story, as did my editor, Rose Gordon Sala, who frequently attends industry events to review the latest toys. She is also the parent to three children ages 10 and under.

This article is also regularly reviewed. We most recently updated it in September 2023.

How We Chose The Best Toys For 2-Year-Olds

I developed this list based on personal experience, expert input and consumer reviews. Ease of use, durability—these are 2-year-olds, after all—and overall cost were also factored in, as was age appropriateness when considering safety but also the kids' interests and available skills as described by Dr. Keder. We only included toys deemed safe for children ages 2 and up.

What Can I Get For A 2-Year-Old Girl?

It can be difficult to base gift decisions on gender alone—Keder says it's really more about the individual child and their interests (and they do have them at this age). With that, you can get a 2-year-old girl the same type of gift as you'd get for a boy of the same age. In general, Keder says that kids of this age are all about exploring things with their hands. Pretend phones, dress-up clothes and ride-on toys should all be considered. If you're not sure, just ask the child's parents. They should be able to offer up some insight.

What Gifts Do 2 Year Old Boys Like?

Gift options for a 2-year-old boy are a lot of the same as what you'd consider for a 2-year-old girl. Kids at this age are working on their fine motor skills, so you don't want anything that's too complicated. Blocks, magnetic toys and trucks are typical winners, especially if they're in fun shapes or colors. Another surefire hit that's also budget-friendly? A ball. Snap one up in the child's favorite color or colors.

What Is The Best Gift For Your 2-Year-Old Son?

The best way to figure out a great gift for your son is to see what he already plays with. If he has a favorite car or ride-on toy, something similar should be a success. If he likes to build things, consider an expansive block set or stackable cups. Another way to find ideas? See what your son gravitates towards on play dates, where he's exposed to new toys. Depending on how verbal your son is, you could also ask him.

What Toys Are Appropriate For 2-Year-Olds?

There are a few things to consider when picking out an appropriate toy for a 2-year-old. Safety is a big one. Toys shouldn't have areas that could pinch little fingers or small parts that can become choking hazards. (Kids of this age usually start to segue out of mouthing things, but this can still be an issue.) Often, toys will have a recommended age range on the package—it's a good idea to consult that if you're unsure if a particular product is a good fit for a 2-year-old.

10 Of The Best Toddler Toys

We've tested loads of toys aimed at toddlers and, with the help of a group of toddler testers and their parents, selected the top toys for children aged between 12 months and 3 years – from amazing activity 'suitcases' to classic building toys and wooden shape sorters...

1. Little Tikes Learn n Play Learning Activity Suitcase, £44.99 – Great for learning about the world

Age suitability: 2+Batteries: 3 x AA (included)Awards: Gold, MadeForMums Toy Awards 2021

What it is: A 39cm x 28cm x 12cm interactive suitcase on wheels. Comes with a boarding pass and passport that you can scan to trigger over 60 songs and phrases, plus 6 interactive, wipeable maps, a light-up display, a dry erase marker, sticker sheet and extendable handle.

Why we love it: This was such a hit with our child testers. "I like my suitcase, Mummy, and the passport," said our child tester Hazeema, 3. "We had lots of fun and I write my letters and I made elephant, didn't I?" Hazeema's mum Lauren was seriously impressed by the amount of activities packed into this little suitcase. "It helps with your ABC and numbers and you can do dot-to-dot animals and learn about countries and animals – we have hours of fun and, when we're finished, we can wipe clean ready to start all over again!" We also like how light and portable it is: easy for a child to trundle around and great for taking with you on trips. "I'd highly recommend this," said Hazeema – and we'd definitely agree.

Latest deals from trusted retailers 2. VTech 3-in-1 Sports Centre, £41.99 – Great for active indoor fun

Age suitability: 12 months+Batteries: 3 x AA (included)Awards: Silver, MadeForMums Toy Awards 2021

What it is: A 58cm x 66cm x 44 cm active-play toy that encourages you to shoot a basket, net a goal or hit a target (not shown in the picture above; it's round the back). The adjustable-height electronic scoreboard counts the succcessful shots and plays encouraging phrases. There are also buttons to press that trigger songs and encourage learning about shapes and colours. Comes with a pint-sized football, a pint-sized basketball and small throwing ball. Some (tool-free) assembly required.

Why we love it: This isn't going to win any prizes for quietness but it's bright and fun – and we really like the encouraging way it interacts with the toddler who's trying to score. We also love that the scoreboard is height-adjustable (giving the toy some longevity) and that you can pull down the hoop for a slam dunk! Joni, mum of our child tester Natalie, 2, said, "Natalie loves the scoreboard and how it counts every time she scores a goal – great for encouraging number learning. The panda in the goal was a hit, too, as she tried to hit him with the ball. And, actually, all the balls are a lovely size and quality – Natalie also played with them separately to the rest of the toy, which was great."

Latest deals from trusted retailers 3. Melissa & Doug Blue's Clues & You! Wooden Take-Along House, £42.99 – Great for shape-sorting

Age suitability: 18 months+Batteries: NoneAwards: Silver, MadeForMums Toy Awards 2021

What it is: A 30cm x 15m x 30cm wooden house with a strap handle, opening door and window shutters, and an opening shape-sorter roof. In the eaves, there are 3 gears to spin and there's a 9-piece double-sided flipover puzzle on one of the walls. Comes with 2 figures: Blue and Magenta from the popular TV/YouTube series.

Why we love it: This is a bright and engaging toddler toy and we like its portability and the colour-coding element to the shape-sorter holes. While there are plenty of cheaper shape-sorter toys out there (you're definitely paying a bit more here for the Blue's Clues association), it's sturdy, wooden and great quality. Our child testers really liked the bungee-hinged door – many a shape was posted in that way! – and the carry handle. Mum Aaysha, of Amal, 20 months, said: "From the first day, she found the different colours and shapes of the blocks engaging and loved picking the house up by the handle. It's one of her new favourite toys."

Latest deals from trusted retailers 4. Grimms Green & Blue Stacking Wobble Tower, £14.89 – Great for sustainable stacking

Age suitability: 12 months+Batteries: None

What it is: A 13cm high wooden toy with 5 stacking discs and a curved base that makes the tower wobble. Made from limewood and finished with a non-toxic water-based stain. Also comes in Red & Pink.

Why we love it: It's beautifully and sustainably made, and the wooden rings feel lovely to hold. We really like how the small, wobbly base adds an extra challenge to the stacking – particularly if you start stacking with the smallest ring first. Our child testers also liked playing with the rings separately: because they're slightly flat around the edges, you roll them and stack them independently of the tower.

Available at: Babipur

5. Fisher-Price Bounce and Spin Unicorn, £65.99 – Great for ride-along fun

Age suitability: 12 months+Batteries: 3 x AA (not included)

What it is: A 72cm-high musical, ride-on unicorn with a light-up rattle roller, ABC sounds, buttons with numbers on, and multicoloured lights. It also spins 360° and bounces, and has easy-grip handles. Some self-assembly required.

Why we love it: It's easy to put together, feels nice and sturdy and bounces really nicely. And it's a good height for a toddler to clamber on and off on their own. Our toddler testers were immediately attracted by the bright colours, and loved all the lights and sounds. Sarah-Jayne, mum to Shelby, 14 months was impressed by how educational it is – for a ride-on toy. "I'm amazed with how many things there are for Shelby to learn while playing on this!"she said. "Also, she's been a bit delayed with her walking and this is helping her build her strength and coordination – especially when hopping on and off."

Available at: Smyths Toys

Latest deals from trusted retailers 6. LEGO DUPLO Classic Deluxe Brick Box Building Set 10914, £44.99 – Great for creative construction

What it is: A giant (37cm x 18 cm x 26cm) LEGO brick containing 85 plastic bricks in a range of bright colours, including a window, 1-2-3 number bricks, a car, a slide, flowers, a shovel and bucket, 2 people figures and a dog. Comes with a building guide.

Why we love it: It's a great, brightly coloured construction-brick starter set, with a good pile of nice chunky, varied pieces and plenty of scope for imaginative, open-ended play. We really like the slide and the flowers and our toddler testers had a lot of fun stacking bricks on the car and opening and shutting the window.

What it is: A 47cm-high air-powered, sea-themed, lights and sounds baby activity centre, with waving seaweed, a spinning starfish, a swimming fish and a whale with a spinning spout of 'water'. Can also be used as a floor toy.

Why we love it: This lovely-looking activity centre is full of sensory-play fun, with loads to look at, feel, touch and hear (blessedly with a 2-level volume control and a no-sound play mode). It's also designed to be played with by babies (in floor toy mode) but we think it comes into its own as a table toddler toy. Our 18-month-old child tester was transfixed by the bright colours and the waving seaweed. And she, likes us, loved using the fish tail to play 'air hockey' with the sea creatures that hover over the centre of the table.

Age suitability: 18 months+Batteries: None

What it is: A set of 5 nesting/stackable recycled-cardboard blocks, decorated to look like houses – with doors and windows. Comes comes with 3 solid beechwood animals, who fit inside the houses.

Why we love it: The design is lovely (the box it comes in doubles as the biggest block and is beautifully decorated inside with vegetable-ink colours) and the blocks stack up really nice and high. It's great to see a non-plastic toy that really does grab toddlers' attention. Becky, mum of one of our toddler testers Heidi, 22 months, said, "It kept her entertained for ages. She has fun standing the houses and hiding the animals inside – and then knocking the houses down again! I also like how it all packs up inside the house for easy storage."

It also features 5 shape buttons to introduce letters, numbers, body parts, music and more to your child.

Why we love it: This toy really got our child testers smiling and moving – and their parents, too! And we love how he says "Excuse me" when he bumps into things. He moves well on all surfaces, from carpet to paving slabs.

Available at: Smyths and Amazon

Age suitability: 10 months+Batteries: None

What it is: A 21cm-high, 5-sided activity box with moving gears, balls, blocks, a maze, and a mirror. Made from wood and finished with water-based paint.

Why we love it: It's a well-thought-through, compact activity centre, with enough moving parts to satisfy curious toddlers while being robust enough to withstand being knocked over and – dare we say – even thrown about. We particularly like the side with the maze on and our child tester was very taken with the twisty-turny painted-animal gears.
