Birthday presents for 2 year-old?

[irecitethegruffaloinmydreams]

Hi all

Can anyone recommend good presents for a 2 year old (2 in May)? She has a Scuttlebug which she uses sometimes, a Mini Micro scooter which she can't yet use (planning to get it out again in a few months to see how she does with it) and is probably a bit small for most of the balance bikes I've looked at.

I am planning to get her some little things which I know she will like (stickers, a soft toy narwhal, etc) but some inspiration for a more substantial present would be marvellous.

We don't have tons of space indoors so I am not keen on a toy kitchen.

I would quite like to get her a little keyboard with a stool, so any recommendations for those would be fantastic.

I also thought about a covered sand and water table for the garden - any experiences of those?

But there must be a ton of good stuff I've not thought of.

I don't want to spoil her too much but I am not hugely cost-sensitive about it.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! A doctor's kit is a good shout, her uncle is a doctor and she is very fond of him.

We've bought this for my little girl turning 2, haven't yet built planning to in next couple of days. She will love it. If you have the outdoor space this is it, from Argos.

Little tykes cosy coupe car? I got one for my son when he was 2 and he absolutely loves it still a year later. I bought his one second hand and it came with the foot rest so you can push them round when they’re small.
Can buy it in the classic yellow and red or they do other designs, a princess one, dinosaur etc

Thank you for all these suggestions! Really helpful.

The car would have been a good shout but weirdly she suddenly managed to get the hang of her scooter today, after four months of just standing on it and getting flummoxed.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend.

My son will be 2 next month. We've bought him an easel and a scooter as we're often out and about at weekends and we figured the easel will last him for a few years. When family have asked what to buy him we've suggested books as he's an absolute book worm. He really loves the Usborne Look Inside series as they have so much detail to keep him occupied. Also we're trying not to buy lots of disposable plastic toys that just take up space we don't really have.
