32 Best Gifts for 2-Year-Olds

The 3-wheel design of this scooter is perfect for younger kids who are still working on balance. No turning required - just lean the handles to steer.

Erin P. said:  This toy is such a hit during the summer months! We usually set ours up next to the kiddie pool and the kids enjoy hours of outdoor fun!

Kelly R said:  This open-ended toy set includes a cutting board, knife, and veggies that can be sliced and reassembled over and over again. My kids loved this at age 2 and it still gets played with a few years later. Great for developing fine motor skills.

Molly Weber said:  This product snaps together fairly easily to create a mini 'roller coaster' for kids. My daughter has played on one of these at a friend's house and absolutely loved it. She's not quite two yet so she needed some assistance but I will definitely be putting this on her birthday list. This is great for young toddlers who love a thrill (and one they can repeat over and over......and over and over....all on their own).

Vanessa M. said:  This is a great toy for 2-year-olds! This bubble mower makes realistic lawnmower noises when pushed, and has the option to blow bubbles as your little one mows the grass, making it even more fun! We use ours indoors sans bubbles in the wintertime, and outdoors with full bubble action when it is nice outside.

Molly Weber said:  Getting a two year old to stay in a stroller can prove to be a challenge. This wagon is a very helpful gift for days that require some extra walking (trips to the zoo, theme park, festivals, or even a stroll to the park). Assembly is a breeze and I was surprised how very easy it is to fold and unfold. My daughter lasts much longer in this wagon with a few toys than she does in the stroller.

Kristy Pepping said:  My mom bought this horse for our first daughter's birthday and all three kids have used it since. This classic toy provides hours of bouncing fun!

Erin P. said:  This is a great toy for 2-year-olds who like to mimic their grown-ups. Our kids shop for all sorts of things in our house! I will also give them empty cereal, oatmeal and other similar boxes to use to help stimulate their imaginations when using their shopping cart.

Erin P. said:  The toddler tower is a fantastic tool for letting your little one help in the kitchen. It's a great way to keep your curious toddler contained while letting him or her safely watch (or help!) during meal preparation time. We frequently use ours to let our kids help make cookies!

Erin P. said:  My 2-year-old received this as a "big sister gift," and she is in love! She brings it with her all over the house, stops and bounces on it, and then continues bringing it along with her. She is having so much fun with it.

Kelly R said:  These little backpacks come in variety of animal options, and are perfectly-sized gifts for 2-year-olds to hold their treasures. My daughter loved hers to carry toys for road trips, to church, and elsewhere.

Erin P. said:  Our kids really enjoy pretend play! Our son will "take orders" and get to work in our play kitchen, and our daughter is now engaging in some independent play frequently at the kitchen.

Molly Weber said:  Give the gift of their very own play place! This item will keep a 2 year old occupied and active with the tent, tunnel, and ball pit!

Erin P. said:  2-year-olds love to mimic what they see their grown-ups doing, and while I wish that I could say that my two-year old witnessed me using my grown-up versions of these a bit more often for household chores, these toys are a hit with her and with her older brother! ;)
