When you’re in the market for toys for a two-year old toddler, it’s best to consider the three pillars of fun, safety and development. In the Shop By Age (24 Months +) collection of Babbles Toys, you will find a good selection of toys for 2 year olds that meet milestone goals and create opportunities for purposeful play.

Why buy development-focused toys?

Between the ages of two and three toddlers are gaining independence and developing motor skills, language, cognitive logic and coordination rather quickly. Developmentally appropriate educational toys for 2 year olds and learning toys for two year olds can be extremely beneficial while toddlers explore shapes, colours, sorting, stacking and push-pull motion all while engaging in play.

Types of toys to consider

1. Stacking, sorting & shape-recognition toys

In our collection you will find options that we chose because they were designed for developmentally appropriate hand-eye coordination, shape recognition and fine motor control. These are the best toys for 2-year-olds who are beginning to manipulate objects intentionally.

2. Push-and-pull toys and movement toys

Toddlers are movers. Toys that toddlers can kind of push along or pull behind them help to build gross motor skills while also being really great toys for 2 year olds.

3. Learning and discovery sets

The 'learning toy' category focuses on cognitive and creativity development; puzzles, building problem solving. These toys work really well for educational toys for toddlers because they promote thinking and curiosity.

4. Sensory & exploration

At the age of two toddlers are still actively exploring textures, colours and cause/effect. Our sensory toys for 24 months+ help with imaginative play, sensory development, while still being engaging and safe.
