Favorite toddler toys!

[maslex]

So I have 3 grandchildren that just turned 2 yrs old.

I'd like to start building up a toy box at my house so they have stuff to keep them occupied while visiting. Right now it's a lot of baby type toys. I'm looking to replace those with more toddler ages toys. I already have the duplo blocks. What are you favorites? Preferably ones that don't have a lot of pieces lol.

Magnatiles! Picaso is a cheaper brand to that, lots of pieces but the magnets make them fun to clean up!

Also, if you have space...a Pikler triangle. They're amazing and my almost 6 yo still uses his. Some can fold up easily!

My almost 2 year old is obsessed with all things trains and cars. He absolutely loves the trains that are held together with magnets.

My kids always loved the one man band type keyboards that had all kinds of buttons and different sounds.

Fisher Price Little People, and if you have the room for it, a play kitchen. I see them often on neighborhood facebook pages for free - $20.

Thanks! My twin granddaughters just got these for the birthday a couple weeks ago. I'm sure they'll love them. If they do, I'll get a set for my house

I actually bought my twin granddaughters the big play kitchen from Fisher Price for Christmas. Can't wait for them to play with it!!!

We had the magnetic tiles, Melissa and Doug playsets, Duplo blocks, Little People, and found these toy cars that were squishy rubber but still drove nicely with regular wheels

A simple wooden train set was a big hit when my kids were that age.

Melissa and Doug have reusable sticker sets and water wow books that can be fun.

I babysit my friend's toddler. One thing I've found is that even though I don't have a play kitchen he loves using my mini kitchen tools, smallest frying pan (i have one that's only big enough for just one egg), pot, and some tupperware. He uses all kind of things to mimic food and loves to "cook" things for me.

Early art supplies - the big "egg" crayons and paper

Small dolls or toy animals (not choking-hazzard small, but the kind they can hold in one hand)

Plain old wooden blocks

Little People sets. Mine loved them. I still have some in the garage waiting for a yard sale.
Melissa and Doug have great things too.
Duplos.

My little Godson (he's 4) is crazy for anything dinosaurs.
