Today’s gift guide is for the busiest little ones in your life! As I mentioned, this year I’m separating children’s gift guides into gifts for babies (~0-12 months), gifts for toddlers (~1-4 years), and gifts for kindergarteners (~5-6 years) which I’ll be posting tomorrow. We’ve been firmly in the toddler phase for a few years between our four boys, so this gifting subset is definitely a comfort zone of mine! Today’s gift guide is a mix of playful toys, imagination-boosting favorites, and practical picks parents will actually appreciate.

This magnetic marble run set is a longtime favorite in our household that can be reconstructed in truly endless configurations (a home run gift idea I’d recommend for ages 3+). And I don’t think I’ve *ever* gotten more rave reviews for a product I’ve recommended than these magnetic building blocks! I’ve watched them captivate our three older boys (currently 3, 4.5, and 6) for more than an hour at a time and they make dinners out at a restaurant infinitely more enjoyable. Will’s mom gave our three-year-old Tucker this adorable (and affordable!) play kitchen  for his birthday and while it definitely requires some assembly, it is cute as can be in person! 

You can shop all my gift guides so far right here and find even more gift ideas for two-year-olds as well as three- and four-year-olds on my Amazon storefront here!
