Our youngest daughter is turning 2 years old this month. We love to use birthdays and other gift giving occasions to focus on giving our girls items in the categories of “something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read.” Here’s a list of things our youngest daughter has been loving recently, or that we’re gifting for her upcoming birthday. It’s full of items that are perfect gift ideas for 2-3 year olds, with choices in each category inspired by our littlest girl!
We reached out to a few companies to partner with us for this Gift Guide, and we were gifted some of the products. These items would all make great gifts for 2-3 year olds! Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, so we may earn a small commission for purchases made, with NO additional fee to you. Thank you for supporting our blog!
Gift Ideas for 2 – 3 Year Olds!
Something You Want
Fathers Factory wooden toy camera – This wooden toy camera has a kaleidoscopic lens, and is a fun way to engage in imaginative play as a little budding photographer. It is made of heirloom-quality wood and is designed to fit perfectly in a child’s hand. Our littlest girl will love this camera, and it will double as a fun decor piece in their bedroom. Use code TIDYDAD to save 15% off an order of $50+!
Freckled Pine rainbow land bundle – This adorable play blanket has a fairy tale print complete with princesses, trolls, mermaids and castles. The play blanket is made of a soft, lightweight cotton muslin. The bundle set includes 3 solid wood hand painted pegs that depict the characters of a princess, mermaid, and knight. They’re painted in a non-toxic, water-based sealant, and everything can be stored together in a canvas carrying bag. This is a super cute set, and they have even more styles available on their website. Use code TIDYDAD to save 10% off an order.
OOLY mighty mega markers – This marker set is jumbo and easy for little hands to hold. The markers have a triangle shaped pointed tip to allow for drawing thick and thin lines. The set comes in 8 bright, washable colors. Our daughters love coloring and crafting together, and these markers are perfect for our youngest girl to use and keep up with them! (also available on Amazon!)
Kidzlane wooden anatomy puzzle – We love toys that are fun and educational, and this puzzle is a great mix of the two! It’s a 5-layer wooden puzzle that explores the skeletal, respiratory, digestive, and muscular system. It is made from thick and sturdy puzzle pieces and it comes in boy & girl versions!
Something You Need
Serenity Kids grain free puffs – Margaret always devours these puffs at snack time! We love that they’re grain free puffs with zero grams of sugar in savory flavors. Use code TIDYDAD15 for 15% off your first order.
Bobo & Boo dish set – These colorful dishes are made out of a sustainable, renewable, plant-based material. They are BPA and toxin free, compostable, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe. They are the perfect size for toddlers!
Chillout Life cutlery set – This 12 piece stainless steel utensil set includes 4 spoons, 4 forks, and 4 knives. They are all sturdy and sized for toddler hands, and make a great transition between baby spoons and adult silverware.
Tubby Todd regulars bundle – This 3-piece set includes Hair + Body Wash, Everyday Lotion, and All Over Ointment. Each one is gentle for newborns and toddlers and good for sensitive skin. It’s a perfect time to restock bath time essentials! Shop through our link to automatically get 10% off at checkout.
Something to Wear
Primary pocket tees & Primary field shorts – Our daughters love these tees with the cute pocket designs and these field shorts with a stretchy waist band, drawstring, and pockets. They’re comfortable to play in all day, perfect for spring/summer, and come in lots of fun colors. Use code TIDYDAD20 for 20% off your 1st order + free shipping.
Ten Little sneakers – These are the BEST shoes for toddlers. They are designed to support natural growth in little feet, with reinforced toe caps, no-slip tongue, and non-skid soles. Margaret’s very first shoes were the Everyday Original sneakers in candy pink, and we plan to buy her the next size when she outgrows them! They come in lots of solid colors and are perfect for walking, running, or climbing at the playground.
Something to Read
Little Hippo Books – These sensory board books are perfect for toddlers, because they have textured touch and feel elements. They’re built for little hands to hold and explore! They have cute illustrations and fun stories. We have Peacock’s Rainbow Feathers, Baby Farm Animals and Butterfly’s Marching Band.
Hello!Lucky Potty Power Book – This book is a great introduction to potty training for toddlers. It touches on essential potty training moments, celebrates going on the potty, and ends with an underpants dance!
Little Doctors Book Set – This unique board book set teaches medical concepts to young kids. It is written by a dad who is also a doctor, and teaches little ones about cardiology, neurology, and cell biology. A great medial introduction!
I hope this roundup inspires you to consider some fun gift ideas for 2-3 year olds, and maybe you’ll incorporate the categories of “something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read” into your gifting!
