When you think of toddler toys. Think TIMELESS. Simplicity is really best when looking for toys for toddlers. You want something engaging, developmentally appropriate and safe. The toys on this list will check all those boxes and more!!
This slide is advertised as outdoor, but hear me out bestie. This slide is NOT big, and will easily fit anywhere in your apartment or any room in your house. Buy this slide for your little one or gift to someone with a toddler and you will not be sorry. My toddler can play with this slide on a loop for over an hour while mommy surfs the web, cleans the house, talks on the phone…I mean the possibilities are endless! I bought this for my little guy when he was 2 years old and he still plays with it daily at almost 4!
2. VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels Train Station Playset
This train set wide and easy to put together, which makes it perfect for toddler hands! The track has multiple build options to keep little minds thinking and making connections (physically and mentally). The train is battery operated and is just too cute to watch it chugging around the track and making it’s automatic stops at stations. It doesn’t matter what else you buy him/her, this train set will be the star.
3. Step2 Tropical Rainforest Water Table
Getting your babies outside to enjoy those sunny days is good for everyone involved! Nothing says summer fun for tots quite like a water table! There are loads of options with these, but I bought the one pictured and in my opinion, it’s one of the best! The bucket can be refilled continuously to pour over the tree canopy. Little kids love to see and make the rain. Mine came with an umbrella and I am so glad I got it because it can get so toasty outside during the summer months.
4. Bubble Machine Durable Automatic Bubble Blower
No toddler list would be complete without a bubble machine! This one is awesome because it has two speeds and can be battery operated or plugged in! What more could you ask for?? Bring this to the park and watch your little one make friends at the push of a little button. I like to put this up on my back deck and watch the kids play with the bubbles while the breeze mixes things up.
5. Battat – Classic Barn Playset
This barn is such a study little toy. This day and age everything seems to be made of cardboard. This however is made pretty solid. It opens up so that your tot can play the toys from the inside too. It comes with farm animals and a farmer, but my toddler plays with all his little tot toys in there. Pretty sure the Paw Patrol is using it as their headquarters currently.
