I have been so thrilled about your response to the baby holiday gift guide, that I could not wait to share my toddler edition! This one was even more fun to make because it required a little less research on my part. Having a current three-year-old myself, I am pretty familiar with the toys that are both fun, frugal and educational! Now, I am a true believer that little ones respond well to play-based learning. So, I try to find toys that could potentially help them develop cognitive, social, language, fine motor and gross motor skills. Granted, not all the items on this list will be educational and some will be rather subtle. But they are still super fun for the little ones! So let’s jump into our inexpensive holiday gift guide!
I just have to let y’all know that my daughter picked out all of these toddler-friendly gifts! We thought, “What better way to find presents for your toddler than to have a toddler pick them out for you?” Unfortunately, she may believe some of these items are for her. So, that’ll be more than fun to deal with on Christmas! Nevertheless, here are some of our top gift ideas for your toddler!
