Unique 2nd birthday gifts
Buttoning, Buckling, and Coordination Toys
The second year sees your child develop better coordination skills and hand strength. Give them gifts for their second birthday focusing on buckling, buttoning, lacing, zipping, and tying.
Building and Constructing Toys
Toddlers love playing with wooden or plastic block toys. Look for toys focusing on skills like building, stacking, knocking down, and rebuilding. Towers are a good choice. Start small with a few blocks. As their skills improve, they’ll get better at stacking the tower higher and higher. Alphabet blocks are another great choice with a dual purpose. They’ll help kids get familiar with their ABCs, and they’re in the right shape for stacking.
