Looking For Toys For 2 Year Old Boys?

Are you looking for toys for 2 year old boys? Maybe you are buying a gift for your nephew, grandson or your own child. There are so many options, such as books, puzzles, balls, dolls, cars and trucks; these are all good ideas. However, as a special gift I like to choose something a little more memorable. I also like to strike a balance between fun time and learning opportunities; in my opinion learning through play is the way to go. Here are a few ideas:

Nuts and bolts toys for toddlers are a great choice. Sets with wheels and interconnecting pieces add a whole new challenge of planning, creating and playing. Toddlers will love building cars or structures. The jumbo sized plastic pieces are the perfect size for small hands. The child will be practicing his fine motor skills by using both hands to grasp, twist and rotate the nuts onto the bolts. Nuts and bolts toys for toddlers are great for color recognition and awareness of geometric shapes. They also encourage early math skills of matching and sorting. Beyond the educational qualities, these toys are so entertaining.

A toddler cleaning set is a fun toy for 2 year old boys. This age group likes to mimic the adults in their lives and role play with other children. Using a mop, broom and dust pan is an everyday experience that the toddler can practice. With the toddler cleaning set being the right size for the little one, there is no frustration. He can be enjoying pretend play and actually be helping out. That’s a wonderful combination.

Pegboards are popular toys for 2 year old boys and make a thoughtful gift. Pegboard sets that are designed for this age have large sized pegs that easily fit in the holes. The pegs are colorful and stackable, washable and heavy duty. Parents appreciate this toy as it provides so many learning activities; toddlers love it because it is fun, challenging and success oriented.

Toys for 2 year old boys are best when they are high quality and sturdy. Toys that are age appropriate are stimulating but not so difficult that they are frustrating. They need to hold the child’s attention and be fun and enjoyable. A great toy combines fun with education opportunities and teachable moments. Have fun shopping for the right toy for your 2 year old

Pegboard and Pegs

Are you searching for the perfect gift for a toddler or preschooler? If you want to make a big hit with both the child and parents, consider an educational toy such as a jumbo sized pegboard and pegs . This toy is standard in most educational settings and until I studied early childhood development I didn’t understand why. To me it seemed like a mundane toy and not very fun or exciting. There are no flashing lights or sounds and no cartoon characters, but what a pegboard with pegs has is an opportunity to challenge a child in his development.

Counting Toys for 2 Year Olds

As a parent or educator, it is so satisfying to watch a toddler learn new things. Toddlers show such enthusiasm when they successfully place all the shapes in the sorting box or make a block tower without it toppling. This is the stage when kids are learning to count and are acquiring basic math skills, such as knowing that the number one, means one item. These are simple ideas to an adult but are the foundation for future understanding of more complex ideas. We can take advantage of the child’s passion for learning by providing educational counting toys for 2 year olds and counting games for toddlers .                                                      Counting toys for 2 year olds do not need to be complicated.
