This block set offers endless possibilities when it comes to playtime. It teaches little ones about colors and shapes and allows their imagination to run wild by letting them create anything they want.

Paging Dr. Toddler! With this kit budding physicians can tend to the medical needs of their dolls and teddies with an arsenal of tools (all made from recycled plastic, btw), that all packs away into a toy ambulance they can zip from one house visit to the next.

Sometimes bigger is better: That’s the case with this super-sized twist on the classic game of memory. The big cards boasting illustrations of cartoon critters are ideal for tiny toddler hands. Not to mention, the rules are easy enough to follow for game newbies, and littles will hone cognitive skills while they play the game.

Give your kiddo a new pair of wheels they can use to surf the sidewalks of your neighborhood for years to come. The low-to-the-ground and lean-to-steer design make for a smooth ride, while an adjustable handlebar gives kids room to grow.

What better gift to give children than to be a citizen of the fabulous world we live in, well beyond wherever they are right now.

My son LOVES the TenLittle shoes and we are constantly recommending them to other parents at school, the doctor’s office or anywhere we go. Easy to take on an off and perfect for fostering toddler independence, these shoes also come with stickers to decorate and make each pair truly unique.

Keep your child’s drinks warm or cold with these durable sippy cups. Even better, they grow with your toddler so you can move from sippy cup to drinking with a straw.

Crocs are cool—don’t fight it. They’re also SO easy to slip on and off, which is a must-have when you’ve got a toddler. And there’s no need to give them up when the temperatures drop, because the fleece-lined version will keep tiny toes toasty and comfortable. Here’s to Crocs all year round!

Warm and soft for lounging while still being breathable for when your little kiddo is on the move. Super Soft, UPF 50+ durable and stain-resistant. They will be living in these this fall and winter.

At around age 2 my son said “peace out” to his stroller and decided he was way too old and mature for it.

This set of table and chairs is perfect for any toddler playroom, useful, fun and easy to sit on for tiny humans. This will be the perfect place to read a book, create an artful masterpiece, play with some play-dough or work on a puzzle.

Speaking of play dough, this 9-pack from The Dough Project is a must have at any place. Made in NYC from organic wheat flour, sea salt, cream of tartar and veggie oil, the natural dough gets its color from beets, annatto seeds, turmeric, chlorophyll, spirulina, purple carrots and activated charcoal. Also? It’s super fun.

The original Dimpl has kept my son entertained for hours, in never ending road trips, long flights and when I need to take a quick shower and have no childcare. This bigger and better version will help children learn how to count up to 10 while learning even more colors.

Your little one can learn the sights and sounds of the kitchen in this gorgeous play kitchen from KidKraft. They can “grow” vegetables and draw on the chalkboard while cooking up a delicious dish! This is the perfect kind of toy that grows with them, too.
