Two year olds love puzzles and books and are still not at the point of wanting particular toys. They are starting t0 become interested in imaginative play. Here are a few things we received or bought for our two year old that were a big success!
Tea Sets
Ah, the instant joy of water play! Fill a teapot with water and let the little ones go crazy overfilling their tea cups... outside of course! The china, porcelain or ceramic tea sets are just gorgeous but just not so practical to play with for this age group. Wooden sets are good but obviously can't be used with water. Although they don't look as sweet, plastic is best or tin.
This little placcy number is made by Fisher Price, costs around $24 and available from major department stores, such as Kmart and Target. It plays music when you tip it! Perfect! Toysrus also do a similar one for around $20.
This tin one looks nice. It is around $22 and available from PeeDee Toys.
Wooden Fruit Set
This little pack has a knife and cutting board included to "chop" the fruit & veggies! This one is available from Unique Kids.
Picture for bedroom
Before you get into the age of "I wants" a picture is a nice idea, particularly one they can keep forever. I found these really sweet prints on Etsy at Cinnamon Ink. They range from $10-$30 for the print, plus $5-$8 in postage.
We bought this one for my older daughter from the Keep Calm gallery. It is a bit more expensive at GBP48, plus the cost of postage and framing. Hopefully she will like to keep it for many years as its not too childish, and has a nice message.
Sunhat
My husband went to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup and returned with these cute hats for our daughters - they loved them and get lots of comments wearing them around and about! You can purchase from Filiokus for NZ$35.
