Updated 11\/2023*<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Hi Friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need some toddler gift ideas? I&#8217;ve got you covered! I first wrote this post when my oldest turned 3. Since then I&#8217;ve had 2 more kids and all 3 of them are out of the toddler years so we&#8217;ve had some experience with toddler toys \ud83d\ude42  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a round-up of some of our favorite toys for the toddler years. You can also check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/kid-gift-ideas-ages-4-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kid Gift Ideas {Ages 4-7}<\/a> and\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/best-toys-for-multiple-ages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Toys For Multiple Ages<\/a> post for more ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be easy to accumulate a lot of toys so one thing I&#8217;ve really tried to do, especially with my second and third kids after learning my lesson with the first, is focus on keeping things that have multiple uses and encourage imagination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things like blocks, trains, play kitchen etc that he can use every day but use in different ways! I love it when they get into their own little world talking and playing by themselves and I can just sit back and quietly watch and listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you have a toddler of your own or are looking for gift ideas, I hope this post is helpful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have anyone besides toddlers on your list, maybe one of these gift guides will be helpful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/small-businesses-to-support\/\">50+ Small Businesses To Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/kid-gift-ideas-ages-4-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kids Gift Ideas {ages 4-7}<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/toddler-gift-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Toddler Gift Ideas {ages 1-3}<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/best-toys-for-multiple-ages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Toys for Multiple Ages<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/best-gifts-for-husbands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Gifts for Husbands<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/best-gifts-for-in-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Gifts for In-laws &amp; Parents<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/gift-ideas-for-busy-moms\/\">Gift Ideas for Busy Moms<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>All the links below are Amazon affiliate links which means I make a small amount of money if you purchase using them, at no additional cost to you.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/art-stuff.jpg\" alt=\"arts and crafts\" class=\"wp-image-27553\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/art-stuff.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/art-stuff-126x200.jpg 126w, https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/art-stuff-347x550.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arts and Crafts Ideas for Toddlers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m a huge fan of having a robust arts and crafts station.
