Best Toys for a Toddler’s Christmas Stocking

3 Bees and Me Magnet Boat Set

We bought this Magnetic Number Boat Set recently for our toddlers and they LOVE them!

 

 

They are colorful, magnetic, and numbered, so there are plenty of things to talk about and teach them. They are great for water play, but they can also be used as playboats in general.

 

 

The magnets are very magnetic and attract and detract from one another well. They could easily be taken out of the box and placed into a stocking for your toddler or preschooler.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Melissa and Doug On the Go WOW! Pads

I am a HUGE fan of Melissa and Doug Products. If you haven’t noticed, I like to find things that my kids will enjoy playing with, but also that will teach them something.

 

 

Melissa and Doug products are fabulous!

 

 

These Water WOW! Books include a water pen that your kids use to color the pictures in the book. The water pen will then begin to slowly reveal the picture underneath.

 

 

The coolest part as a parent is that there is MINIMAL if any mess involved and this toy can be used OVER and OVER AGAIN! These are great for road trips with your kids as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hoyle 6-n-1 Card Game

This Hoyle 6-n-1 Card Game is a fantastic stocking stuffer for your little one.

 

 

Teaching kids how to identify things that are alike at a young age is super powerful for their growth and development later on.

 

 

As they begin to learn to match, they build up their confidence in their ability to learn, and that is huge. Your little one will learn the skills necessary to play games like memory and go fish and they’re the perfect size to fit in a Christmas stocking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boley 12-pk Educational Dinosaur Toys

It doesn’t matter if you have boys or girls, dinosaurs are timeless and cool. They are a creature that once roamed the earth, and there is so much to learn about.

 

 

Sure, their names may be hard to pronounce, but there are so many special characteristics about each one that makes them unique. I think dinosaurs are great teachers when it comes to teaching kids that being different and unique is super cool! These Dinosaur Toys will fit nicely in your preschooler’s Christmas stocking.

Wikki Stix

Wikki Stix are new to me. I didn’t even know what they were until my kids were given them at a restaurant. Obviously, make sure you aren’t giving these to a little one who is putting random things in their mouth. These are sure to keep your toddler busy for a while. You can bend and mold them any way you choose. You can even wrap them around one another to build things.

I feel like the words “toddler” and “quiet” don’t often go together. My toddlers are rarely quiet. This Activity Quiet Book is a fantastic gift to put in a toddler’s stocking. The best part is that it can go anywhere because it can be washed in the laundry machine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pop Fidget Sensory Toys

These Pop Fidget Sensory toys are super popular right now. They’re super simple, easy to clean, and can be played independently. All you do is pop the divets back and forth. They can be popped randomly or in a pattern. If this isn’t the design you like, they can be found in LOTS of different designs and characters. They make a great stocking stuffer for toddlers who have autism because they’re a great stress relief tool.

It’s a great indoor activity to do with your kiddo by teaching them some basic preschool concepts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finger Puppet Set

Some may think this 20-piece finger puppet set should be counted as a toy, but I think of it as a learning gift. Kids learn so much from imaginative play. They learn how to treat others, different kinds of jobs, different physical characteristics of the people puppets, and so much more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My First Crayon Set
