Toddlers are probably my favorite age group to shop for. No matter what you give them, they love it! They may also love the box more than toy. With this age group, focus on toys that highly interactive and that have ways to grow with them.

Ages: 2+
Melissa & Doug Reusable Sticker Pad

This is one gift to ask grandma for, it’s a bit on the pricey side. However, it is very well thought out and I’d say very worth it. This starts as a trike that you strap little ones in and can push from behind. Then as they grow, you can remove pieces. I’ll tell you the last thing that ever came off for us though was the push stick… you’ll like not having to bend over and push when they get tired half way from home.
Price: $80+
Ages: 9 months to 5 years

A baby’s first Christmas can be a very exciting time. Everything is new and their faces just light up. With infants, it can be hard to know what is developmentally appropriate for children so young, but there are some great toys for them available. Here are all of the top toys for children ages 0-1.
Keep in mind that with really young babies, they aren’t able to play with very many things. One option is to get things for when they are a little older. Another option is to get items such as diapers, wipes, and clothing that their parents will be very appreciative of.
It’s great to look for things that grow with the children. There are some toys children will be able to play with for years. The longer they can play with them, the greater value is.
