The Ultimate Toddler Gift Guide Holiday Season 2021

The most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is almost here! Since starting my blog this is what I have been looking forward to most.

Today we are starting my holiday gift guides, of course we had to start with toddlers now that I am a toddler mama.

let’s start with the good stuff.

*Links below are affiliate links, I make a small commission off of qualified purchases.*

First things first, the brands I highly recommend for toddlers.

*Lovevery

*Melissa and Doug

These two brands are extremely focused on imaginary play which I personally think is so important for kids in this age range. I will be recommending a few toys outside of these brands though if you are interested in other things as well.

TOYS

Lovevery Block Set

This is one of the top gifts I plan on getting my son for Christmas. This toy has the ability to do so many different things and teach so much.

included:

*Peg People

*Shapes and Shape Sorter

*Wheels to turn the box into a car

* Blocks and strings for threading

*Different shaped wooden blocks

Mega Blocks

This is a perfect basic gift for any toddler in your life. My son started to show a lot of interest in blocks right on his first birthday.

These are great for:

*building

*sorting colors

* sorting sizes

Puzzles

Puzzles are a great option for learning in so many ways. We started by buying chunky puzzles, Melissa and Doug make SO many good ones, I will list some of my favorites below on clickable links. You can also find puzzles that have little pegs on it to practice gripping.

Books/Flash Cards

My son is OBSESSED with books, He would it for hours while I read. We also love to use flash cards to practice words and sounds. These are great options for all toddlers to expand vocabulary

Instruments

Instruments make most kids extremely happy, who knows maybe your little one could find a passion in music from a young age. Karter got a bag of a ton of different instruments for his birthday that give him different things to feel and hear, great for senses.

Fisher Price Food Truck

This was by far the best gift my son got, he LOVES this. Im huge on imaginative play and so is he. It comes with a bunch of different play food options, the large windows to serve food, and also a driving side. This is a great inexpensive toy that will grow with him. You could also do a play kitchen for kids a little older.

Play Food/Kitchen Utensils

We got him extra utensils and plan on getting extra food for Christmas. Yet again, real life things make kids feel like they are apart of real activities. We got my son, a mini set of things like a whisk, spatula measuring cups, etc. minis work great because as he gets older he can use these things to help me cook as well.

I also think the play food that your little ones can practice cutting is a great option.

Dyson Toy Vacuum

I know, I sound like a broken record, but you guys IMAGINATIVE PLAY. My son was vacuum obsessed so he got the Dyson vacuum for his birthday, I highly suggest this one over the other options because it does look so real and it actually sucks.

Sensory Table/Sensory Fillers

Sensory play ohmygosh, how much we love sensory play. For Christmas this year we are getting my son a sensory table to do all of our activities on. I highly recommend some form of one for sensory activities with you little ones. If you need some examples of sensory play I’ll leave them here.

Nugget Couch

The Nugget is a great option for toddlers who love to climb or are just beginning to climb around. This gives a safe option and many ways to use to have fun and explore.

Extras

The little things that older kids won’t want as gifts are perfectly acceptable at this age. Toddlers go through clothes like crazy, extra clothing can be the perfect add on toddler gift.

Also, eating utensils and cups! This is actually something most toddlers will get really excited about since the world of food is still so new. This is the perfect time to add a new cup or some forks and spoons to your gift list.

Thats it loves!
