10 best toys for 2-year-old children - boys & girls.

• For developing creativity.

Blocks - soft blocks, legos, square blocks, structural blocks & pipe blocks.

Plain square, triangle & rectangular blocks are best for building creativity.

I would recommend buying a high-quality set of blocks which is priced around 1000 rupees. This might seem a bit pricey, but trust me - because you will not regret it.

These are from a good brand & are made with very good quality plastic. It will last a long time: usually many years.

Blocks made with low-quality plastic will break very fast, usually faster than we expect.

Other than just plain square blocks, you should also have a look at soft blocks, Legos, square blocks, structural blocks, thin sheet type blocks & pipe blocks.

• For improving memory.

Another type of toy in the same category i.e. above-mentioned structural blocks are again very good for improving memory by playing.

Structural blocks unlike plain square blocks, require kids to learn the exact position of each block to make the shape. But at 2 years of age, kids cannot do complex shapes.

So it is recommended to buy a toy that can be separated into a maximum of 10 big parts.

• For building imagination.

Pretend to play with toys & toys for making things are the best for developing imagination in toddlers.

This includes Pretend to play with toys like cutting fruits, pretending to be a cook, doctor, nurse, etc.

Toys for making different things are also another option for building imagination. But this involves the use of colored clay(usually chemicals) so you need to be assisting all the time.

• To initiate reading skills.

Reading storybooks with big images is the obvious option here. Toddlers will tear the books minutes after they see them. So it is recommended to buy a book with very thick pages.

Or you can buy cheap and books from a local store.

• To encourage speaking.

Simple books like shapes, alphabets, fruits, etc. can be used to assist in encouraging speaking. You can use books to touch each image and say names.

A set similar to My First Library would be an amazing option to buy.

• For hand-eye coordination & writing skills.

An amazing toy for hand-eye coordination and writing skills is a reusable coloring book. This toy comes with a book, a water brush.

You can fill the brush with water and assist the toddler to write on the book.
