What did you buy your 2 year old...

[Cluelessfirstimer]

...for their birthdays?

DS is 2 early June .We will actually be in butlins for his birthday so will probably only take something small for him to open there and do the rest when we are back.

He likes cars and trains but has loads of these. Was going to get him a water table for the summer anyway ( a friend is giving me hers) and then I'm a bit lost. wont be spending silly money but want to get him a few nice bits.

Got me to thinking ... i wonder what what others got their 2 year olds?

Ride on car
Scooter
My car-loving son got a toolbox which went down REAAALLY well
Books

Balance bike

Ds got a Thomas scooter.. Used it every day until he was 4 and he got a bigger one!!

Some basic art and craft supplies are good. Can put a lot of it away if he's not interested yet and get it back out in 6 months time.
Mine also loves kinetic sand and accessories to play with that.
Toot toot cars & garage is popular too.
Books.

Dress up stuff - fireman, policeman etc.
Remote control cars
Robot dinosaur
Noisy books
Wooden musical instruments
Balance bike
Micro scooter

We got a zoo annual pass and a couple puzzles and books. My parents got him a balance bike.

A toy kitchen, plastic food and some kitchen type toys. Honestly, played with everyday and never gets bored!

Lego duplo

Playdoh - well loved by my 2 year old!

Doctor’s kit

Wooden puzzles

Here to second the toy kitchen. We got one second hand from FB marketplace and it's still played with almost daily over 2 years later.

Micro scooter
Lego
Books
Painting stuff

Mine got a kitchen for Christmas,my sister got him a few of the Melissa and doug wooden food.sets that you cut for it and he loves it - so I too recommend a kitchen

Balance bike (which was a waste of money - she wanted it but never wanted to ride it!)
Happyland bits
Big stuffed dinosaur

Swing

I tell a lie, the balance bike was Christmas. We got her a toy kitchen for her birthday. It was used daily for about a year, but then turned into an oversized book storage cupboard. I want to get rid of it but she insists she still loves it at 4, despite never playing with it, so that's something to consider!

A PJ Masks Ball
Sunny Auntie magnetic play tiles
Happyland animals

Thank you lovlies! Some great ones here and ideas I will be using!

Slide
Outdoor kitchen/mud kitchen
Sandpit

I second the magnetic tiles. A must have!

My two dc when they were two got
Duplo
Hot wheels cars and basic track
Vtech Toot toot drivers and track
Smoky Black and decker work bench and tools
Tablet (it was a vtech one) ended up crap and soon got a fire tablet instead
Character toys (pj masks and paw patrol specifically)
Playdoh

Oh it's used as actually micro scooter

Balance bike
Duplo
Books
Toy barn and farm animals

Ride on toys are perfect at this age. White company did a lovely little metal retro racing car ride on when my youngest was 2 and it’s still used three years later

This. They still play with it VERY regularly.
