Shopping for a holiday gift for your active two-year-old or preschooler? Toys that encourage exploration and early learning always make a seasonal splash. Coloring and arts and crafts kits like Play-Doh and Crayola get your child's budding creative juices flowing. Or encourage fine motor skill development with classic blocks, stacking toys or preschool building sets from LEGO and MEGA Bloks designed for the youngest builder. These activities are also prefect for indoor play if it's snowing or raining outside as well as for creating classic holiday scenes.
As your little bundle of energy begins to find their favorite characters from TV, check out our reviews of the newest and seasonal toys from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mickey and Minnie, Sesame Street, Thomas & Friends, and more to find the perfect present. But not all characters have to be based on TV shows and movies, and this is the age when classic stuffed animals make particularly popular presents.
Don't forget ride-ons designed just for kids at this age. Power Wheels, Little Tikes, and more put kids in the driver's seat so they can deliver the gifts to your guests to make magical memories during a holiday party.
