- Magnetic Picture Game (featured on IG and Pinterest) – A great game for travel and no screen time. Easy to use and comes with so many pictures to make!
- Light Board – This toy is perfect for your 2-4 year old. They can explore their shapes and colors through the lights. Remember the overhead projectors your teachers used in elementary school with the transparencies? It totally reminds me of that!
- Bluey Book or Leapfrog Animal book – These are great for your 1-3 year olds. We have one for each kid in our car at all times. They are noisy, but they keep the kids engaged so I can’t really complain. The Leapfrog book also has 100 Words and 100 Things That Go!
- The playdoh dinosaurs – This is great for your dino lover! You could even use air dry clay and create little figurines that your toddler can later paint. Endless opportunities with these eggs.
- Montessori Wooden Color Sort – This would be great for your almost or just 1 year old! Practicing getting the sticks into the holes first and eventually progressing to color sorting.
- Magnetic Blocks – These blocks are perfect for your little one to learn how to start building. The best part, you can always add to their collection of blocks!
- Wiggle Car – My toddler loved riding on hers from the age of 2 and really got it down by 3. We use it outside mainly so we have replaced the wheels, but so worth it! Here’s a cute pink one.
- These cute “Busy Bags” – They have hidden little icons in them you’re trying to find through all the beads. They’d be so fun for a road trip or in your diaper bag for restaurants and the waiting room.
- Screwdriver Robot (Green or Pink) – This a great gift for a toddler who loves to take stuff apart and put it back together, or who is always looking to help mom or dad. Serves as an educational toy as well!
- Wooden Toy Coffee – This is fun to add to your kitchen or your toddler who loves to go on coffee runs with mom. Let them become a little barista with this
- Wooden Food and Pots – This is another great addition to your toddler’s toy kitchens. If you’re in the market for a kitchen I have a list of great kitchens under $150!
Remember, at the end of the day it’s about the memories you make and the time your spend with your kids. You are a good mama. If you’re still shopping for anyone else in the family and need ideas – here’s a bunch of gift guides for everyone! xx Ciara
