What are your 2 year olds favorite toys?

[MasynSpencerElliotte]

Fisher Price is great, masyn has not only the newer version of the playhouse, but my parents saved the ones I had when I was little and she loves to make-believe with them. Dolls are also a big ticket item as I have a 3 month old and masyn loves to look after her babies too - even change poopy diapers!  The best thing that keeps her occupied though is the puzzles, we have a huge floor one which has a different puzzle on each side to challenge her a little more.

Leorah has actually turned 2 now and developmentally she has changed so much in such a short space of time! Her imagination is amazing and she will make up games and chat away by herself for ages so I definitely recommend Little People vehichles, houses etc, playdoh and also duplo/lego. She loves her blackboard and as the chalk is easy to wash off everywhere else so that is fine but apart from that drawing wise I recommend aquadraw as even though she knows the rule with crayons/pens "paper, paper!" she cannot resist having a scribble everywhere else!

Hi,

My daughter turns 2 in February and currently prefers playing with her dolls, pram, ironing bord/iron/clothes line/laundry basket, read books, colouring, stickers.

I am thinking of getting her a kitchen for her birthday. Do you have any recommendations? I prefer wood over plastic but they are hard to find at an affordable price. (I´m in Belgium) I have been contemplating buying one from Ebay, lots of German wooden kitchens there for around 80 Euro.
Any thoughts?

Hope you have something sorted out babe and yeah time flies by.

Sophie do you have BRIO in The Netherlands, we do here in Denmark and we got a nice little wooden kitchen stove for about £25, she alo had metal pans from Ikea and lots of plastic food and loves it all and plays with it most days. I still recommend Little People and animal figures and cars , Leorah likes to play with things her way and doesn't like toys that you can only play with one way.

Hi Skatty!

I´m in Belgium but will look for the BRIO brand around here, the price seems good 

How are you liking Denmark? My husband is Danish and moved to Belgium after we met.

I am going to join the bilingual thread as I have a few worries about Lena´s English. Maybe I will see you there!

Hi Sophie, I am slowly getting used to the realisation that I now live in Denmark after over 4 years lol!! It is actually very different from the UK! Definitely come over to the bilingual thread, I have had and still have many worries about Leorah's speech but there I always find the support and reassurance I need

I have a 2yr old girl and here are her favorites:

Melissa & Doug Toys.. especially the fake foods where she can "cut" things - liek sandwiches, the birthday cake, etc.., wooden puzzles and recently a clock puzzle that has her match the shapes and she can line up the numbers, etc.

Painting/Play Dough/Coloring

Pretend cleaning - I give her a clean sponge and bought her a child-size broom.. she loves to "help"
me during the day while I clean up around the house

Little People toys

Where did you kid the kids sized broom?  My kid has been asking for one, and I don't know where to buy one!

My 2 yr old is a boy but he loves any kind of ball, legos and blocks and of course cars.  He still is not very into crayons, I think its because he doesn't hold them quite right and has difficulty making dark enough lines, but he loves his aquadoodle which seems easier for him to work.  Also likes his little people farm and town.  I recommend getting a few more traditionally "boyish" toys, my neices love cars and blocks, and my ds has 2 "babies" he likes to play with.

Vacuums, any and all. Must be a family thing because my nephew has always like them too. I bought my LO a real one today (it basically a small dust buster with a handle and bottom attachment) If he's going to push the thing all over my house, may as well get some work out of him right?  (I watch him like a hawk and the brush attachment has a guard on it)

He's also into trains, trucks and cars. He loves his grocery cart (super cheap buy but worth every penny and more) and anything else that looks like something Mommy uses.

my 2yo DS loves his new Green Toys recycling truck..the back opens up and he sticks, balls, hotwheels, etc inside. Viking Toys also makes these little cars called Chubbies that have white wheels (ie. no black marks on your floors) that he loves -- they are fairly cheap and he has several of them. he also loves musical instruments right now. we have a Plan Toys xylophone and a mandolin that he plays with and also a little Fisher Price recorder that he loves.

GREAT THREAD.
My lo Finn loves cars of any kind his pram, his handy manny toolbox that sings, his aqua doodle mat, books of any kind but loves the MR MEN ones, they seem to be the right size for his wee hands! his is just getting into his sit on toys now. we bought a mini tub set of playdough for his birthday and he is learning his colours from that, also loves to stack them and count how many he can pile up high.
Santa just bought him a kitchen and he loves it. Very easy to overwhelm them so we use rotation quite a bit. in the morning we have cars and blocks etc. n the afternoon its things that I can do with him.
