Must have toys for 2 year old toddlers:

Way to Play, Cars and Railways

A train set is a classic toy that has been loved for literally generations. Chances are you had or played with one as a child, and for many children and up playing with their parent's trains, or a set handed down from cousins or siblings.

Trains and cars seem to be ever popular with toddlers and they are perfect for encouraging lots of key skills. Building the track might be tricky at first but as children watch and learn they will develop problem-solving skills, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills. Once the track is set up the opportunities for creative play, narrative thought, building vocabulary and small world play are endless. Especially with all the fabulous accessories to choose from. 

We also love the way to play sets. These flexible roads can be used pretty much anywhere, perfect for both indoor and outdoor play. and they can be used with any cars or wheelie toys your child already has. All the sets work together so this is another great toy to start collecting now and build on over the years. 

Puzzles

Providing they are age appropriate puzzles are wonderful at any age. They help with concentration and focus, boost fine motor skills and develop problem-solving ability.

Our great range of puzzles comes in many forms from traditional jigsaw puzzles (the Djeco range are particularly stunning), to educational puzzles, to an amazing range of Grimm's creative puzzles which can be completed in a variety of ways and double as beautiful building blocks for even greater play potential.

Threading games could also come under this category as they are a great way for 2-year-olds to develop fine-motor and concentration skills.

Role Play Toys

By the age of two, and certainly, before they hit three, children start to develop a love of role play games. They imitate the world around them and come up with all sorts of imaginative scenarios. Which is why we think all two-year-olds should have access to role-play toys of some description. 

Depending on your child's interests this might be any number of things:
