What's your 2.5 year old's favourite toy?

[Squishedpickle]

Struggling to find present ideas for my little 2.5 year old nephew. He currently is really into puzzles and duplo.

Can anyone please tell me what your child loves/loved at that age? Thanks

A ride on toy or a scooter. My youngest also loves anything with wheels, he plays with his trains and cars a lot on his mat.

Tractors!! Obsessed.

Cars, tractors, diggers etc. Dinosaurs, Barbies, a playmobil 123 Noah's ark, doctors set. Books like The Gruffalo, Peppa Pig 🙄
Honestly? They're into whatever you give them! If it's in front of them, they'll likely play with it.

Mine loved happyland figures at that age, DD is 4 and still does

Duplo also

Most vehicles, but especially the Wow Toys ones, he thinks they are amazing

Happy land or dinosaurs

My 2.5 year old boy loves the magnetic tiles. He builds cubes, different shapes etc with them and its great as they're not a huge bulky toy. I'm getting him another set for Christmas so he can start to expand on what he builds.

Oh yes Happyland! My 2.5 year old is always making up little stories and games with them.

Puzzles.
A microphone that doAes funny stuff to your voice - annoying for parents!
A magnadoodle? This is something we use daily.
Play dough?
Something more educational? Ie. Something like

Or something from Leapfrog- they do lots of educational toys.

My son loves his till www.argos.co.uk/product/5609248?istCompanyId=a74d8886-5df9-4baa-b776-166b3bf9111c&istFeedId=30f62ea9-9626-4cac-97c8-9ff3921f8558&istItemId=ixilqpqwt&istBid=t&&cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59157%7Cacid:629-618-1342%7Ccid:9563523558%7Cagid:102231002110%7Ctid:pla-1006478194968%7Ccrid:423314717933%7Cnw:g%7Crnd:3815830614378597911%7Cdvc:m%7Cadp:%7Cmt:%7Cloc:9046002&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=9563523558&utm_term=5609248&utm_content=shopping&utm_custom1=102231002110&utm_custom2=629-618-1342&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItZ2YsLe_7QIVAZ7tCh3axwyoEAQYHCABEgKbDvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Or a nice art print for his room - his prents might like this. He’ll be less fussed I’m sure. Red bubble to lots of nice ones for kids. Maybe a space theme related one? Like planets or something?

Not a very well written message there but feeding a young baby so just throwing the ideas out there.

My sons are just turned 2 and 3.5 and they play with pretty much exactly the same things especially when the other one is playing with it 🙄 they really like

• brio train set (this is great as a gift because there are so many sets that vary in price depending on your budget and can be added to at a later date.

• happyland stuff is great. We have the bin lorry, London bus, ambulance and fire engine. They love putting the little characters in and out and play with them all the time. I’m getting the spaceship for ds2 for Christmas and it looks great.

• Playmobil 123. Really lovely little sets and not too fiddly for little fingers. We have the house and they love putting all the furniture in and ringing the doorbell. It gets a lot of use.

• hot wheels cars are well loved by both of mine.

• play tents and tunnel. These were bought for them as a gift and I was initially a bit horrified as they took up half the living room but they fold right down and we keep them between the sofa and the wall when not being used and provide hours of fun.

Dinosaurs... octopuses..and spiders..

The leapfrog ice cream cart has been a big hit in our house.

Duplo steam train

Toy story figures. Dinosaurs puzzles duplo books cars tractors trains

My Dd loves magnetic play scene sets like the ones from Petit Collage - will play with them for ages. Obviously supervised carefully if some of the pieces are small.

My jewellery box and all its sparkly contents.
Probably not what you want to hear though

Trains all day if he could!

Lots of great ideas on here. Agree with Happyland, my little boy loves the ice cream van and the house set. Also play food
