What does your 2 year old love playing with?

[Thankyouandgoodnight]

Substantial toys and also small cheapo toys....!

Need to find pressies.

If a boy - wooden train set, cars, books

Anything to do with Thomas the Tank Engine, Shape Sorter, wooden jigsaws, Stacking Rings (ELC do some lovely wooden ones), cars, pushchair, shopping trolley, black board.

Also loves emptying all my kitchen cupboards, but that's another story!!

Anything he shouldn't!

Also any cheap tat that arrives on the front of comics his gran insists on buying even though he has no interest in them

Other than that, he's obsessed with cars, trains, paints and drawing. He has expensive toys but really couldn't be bothered with them and I'm sure that we've wasted a fortune. Cheap, colourful, noisy, messy or with wheels seems to be the rule. specially as boys are so heavy handed and break things so easily.

When he's really bored, a couple of pan lids to bang together or the saucepans and a wooden spoon make a great distraction.

Farm animals.

Mini cash register with scanner and chip and pin thingy. She overcharges me for everything, scans everthing in several times. I'm not sure who to report her to.

When the weather is good then its: slugs, worms, mud, raspberries, earwigs and unripe tomatoes.

This is the most successful and continually played with toy ever. Can't see her growing out of it any time soon either.

Kitchen and play food/pots.
Garden toys (swing/trampoline/climbing frame etc)
Glue/paint/chalk and easel
Dressing up stuff
ELC microwave
Dh's computer

Lots of Thomas engines etc and track

Fisher Price Little People Zoo
Dinosaurs (his older brothers)
Bob The Builder vehicles
Puzzles
Garage and cars (we have ELC wooden one)
Trains/Train table
Kitchen/pots/pans
Playdough
Duplo
Farm and farm animals/tractors

DS2 is 2.5yrs but he has played with these for ages.

Absolute number one is toy cars (matchbox type). He carries one or two everywhere with him.

Also:
toy garage
really annoying 'hot wheels power' car thingy
Bob the Builder vehicles (Scoop, Muck, Dizzy etc)
Brio train stuff
ride-on tractor (outside)
blackboard
playdough
books

Not too bothered about crayons, arty stuff, etc. Gets bored with those very quickly.

My two year old loves

• a keyboard
• a guitar (electric thing that makes an astonishing racket)
• a toy oven with pretend food
• balls of all shapes and sizes
• upsy daisy
• stickers
• a wooden tea set
• dolly and pushchair (immensely popular with both boys and girls around here)

Cars
Wooden train set from ikea

I agree, anything with wheels. And the "garage" I made him out of a cereal packet lasted a full 2 months - he loved it.

Also toy gardening tools - watering can, trowel, etc.

He's getting into jigsaws now (Thomas the Tank Engine of course). And lots and lots of books.

Tom (2.5) loves playing with:

• pegs
• laundry basket
• cars
• anything he can push along
• pens/cds from the comuter desk
• tins of food all stacked up
• wooden blocks
• balls
• books
• pop-up toys
• cuddlies
• bead frame
• watering can
• trampoline/slide/playhouse
• garage
• bubbles

Justabouthadcurry, same with my DS2!
He loves it when we take his nappy off so he can sit on the potty, as soon as the air catches it, he is a fumbling

Ah, yes. When you ask him where his willy is, Tom grabs it, lol.
