Meanwhile, if you’re also shopping for kids in other age groups, we have gift guides for 1-year-olds, 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds, 5-year-olds, 6-year-olds, 7-year-olds, 8-year-olds, 9-year-olds, 10-year-olds, 11-year-olds, and 12-year-olds - plus the meticulously curated Strategist Toy Store, filled with all our greatest hits. We’ve organized them by price, so if you have a specific budget in mind, you can use the table of contents to jump to that section - or read all the way through to get an idea of what 2-year-olds are into, according to the people who know them best. To find the best toys that fit that bill, we talked to professionals like Corey, as well as stylish and picky parents, toy buyers, and educators to assemble a list of more than two dozen expert-approved gifts for the next 2-year-old birthday party or other gift-worthy celebration on your calendar.
And because 2 is the age when children begin to engage in pretend play, Corey recommends toys that let them imagine themselves in the roles of adults and other important people in their lives - from a play kitchen where they can bake a make-believe cake to a miniature lawn mower they can push through the yard.

According to Jeannette Corey, director of the Bank Street Family Center, 2-year-olds are “seeking independence, so their play often focuses on ways they can have an impact, accomplish a goal, and solve problems.” They are also able to maintain focus for longer periods of time to complete a task like stacking blocks or assembling simple puzzles, she says. Buying a gift for a 2-year-old requires balancing a bit of knowledge about the skills they are developing with careful study of their personality.
