Best Toddler Toys for Boys & Girls
1. Flash Cards Reader
It includes 248 Sight Words with more then 10 subjects like animals, vehicles, letters, numbers, foods, nature, colors, shapes, and more. I love that the vehicles and animals also make realistic sounds. It’s a great toy for independent play when the child becomes more familiar with cards. It’s very easy to use.

Wood building blocks contain 24 pieces,6 geometric shapes, and 4 colors. This toy helps with learning color recognition, matching, stacking, and sorting skills. I like that it’s made from high-quality natural wood and it leaves a lot of room for imaginative play.
5. Pounding Bench With Pegs And Mallet
This toy includes colors, numbers, and emotions with 10 fun pegs. So children at every stage can enjoy that toy and play different ways. For us, it started with pounding the pegs but now when my toddler is about 2 years old he counts, describes colors and tries to match pegs with the same emotion.
6. Pop-a-Balls Push & Pop Bulldozer
This one is one of my toddler’s favorites. It’s perfect for the beginning stage of walking. It has buttons, lights, and music. I like that the handle does have room to store each ball and you can turn off the music while still playing with this toy.

They can draw with chalk on the chalkboard and with the marker on the magnetic side. It’s also a great tool for me and homeschooling.
