Christmas and Birthday Gifts for Toddlers

Nov 23, 2009 Janis Masyk-Jackson

Toddlers love to play and there are many toys available that are geared specifically for this age that can be fun, as well as educational.

Toddler girls live in a world of exploration and imagination. At this age, they love colorful toys with sight and sounds. Toys with lights, sounds and music help aid a toddler in their development, while stimulating their imagination. Here's a look at some toys made specifically for toddler development.

Toddler Playsets from Playskool

Playskool, (a division of Hasbro toys,) offers some great play sets for young girls. There's the Playskool Busy Lil Garden Bench, featuring lights and music. Another fun playset is the Playskool Busy Lil Jiggle Garden Playset, which aids in developmental learning.

Toddlers are always on the go and Playskool Wheel Pals - Mini Bugs (Girls) will keep them busy for hours while they go exploring around the house with them.

Little People, Ride-Ons and Dolls from Fisher-Price

Little People® sets are wonderful playsets for toddlers because they allow for imagination, while providing lots of fun. Some recommended sets are Little People® A to Z Learning Zoo, along with Little People® Animal Sounds Farm.

Ride-Ons are good for helping toddlers explore. For toddlers two and up, the Grow-With-Me Trike makes for a terrific gift as its adjustable seat allows the child to change the seat to accommodate growth. Also, ride-ons allow for some great exercise for the legs.

The toddler stage is also the time when girls start to enjoy playing with dolls. My First Dollhouse™ allows for role playing and accessories can be added to always keep things new and fresh. Girls will really enjoy Snap 'n Style dolls. Besides having numerous dolls to choose from, there is also a variety of matching play sets.

Pull Along, Bath Tub, and Stacking Toys by Fat Brain

Pull and push toys are an excellent way to help advance a toddler's coordination. Fat Brain offers several fun pull and push toys like the Drumming Bear Push Toy, the Pull-Along Zoo Animals, and the Fill 'n Build Block Cart.

Toddlers love to build and stack things. The Geometric Stacker permits for both sorting and stacking. Discovery Blocks allows for different sensory experiences as each block is different. Fat Brain's 100 blocks contains seven different shapes of blocks in four different colors.

While adults see taking a bath as something relaxing at the end of a busy day, toddlers see it as playtime. Little girls can have lots of fun with Subbies - Hurtle the Turtle, Washcloth Puppets, and Jungle Waterfall.

Toys and Movies from Toys 'R' Us

Toys 'R' Us offers a huge selection of toys for toddler girls from various manufacturers. Consider the Vtech Jungle Gym Ride and Learn Giraffe Bike, along with Mega Bloks Building Bag 80-Piece Set-Pink, and Disney Princess Sparkle Baby Dolls.

In addition, Toys 'R' Us carry lots of DVDs that are perfect for toddler girls such as Blues Clues, Barney, Veggie Tales and Sesame Street.

When buying gifts for toddler girls, it's best to pick out gifts that are not only fun, but educational as well. If still unsure as to what to buy, there's always the option of a gift card. This way the parents can pick out something the toddler girl really needs or wants.
