21 Toys and Games for 2 year Old Boys

VTech Smart Shots Sports Center

This is a perfect gift for the father that wants his kid to get into sports and especially basketball. The colorful design makes this very attractive and easy to use with a LED light to keep every hoop recorded. The net is also a good height for them to practice and get those 3 pointers as they reach the later stages of being a toddler.

The balls, both soccer, and basketball are soft, which makes it easy for the little toddler to grasp with their hands, which is ideal. The balls and net height make for an easy slam dunk into the basketball hoop, as if it was like Michael Jordan back in the early days.

There is a purple lever at the side of the backboard and with a pull on it, the score resets itself to zero and the game begins again. This toy is thoughtful in its design and has introduced shapes, numbers and different sounds to begin teaching through interactive play. The sports center early learning game comes with over 50 songs, all unique and sound great for the game night, all dad needs now is a beer.

The balls, both soccer and basketball, are good for increasing motor skills and the kicking and throwing aspect is a must-do activity for every toddler looking to prepare for nursery and kindergarten.  This has been designed for children as young as 1 years old to 3 years old, and with a safe design, it really is a good choice as a gift.

The scoreboard is perfect for keep track of each game played and will count all the way until 10, so as each basket adds up the fun increase also. This is done with each score and ball through the net, there is an animation that amplifies the gameplay. There are also unique sounds and phrases, which is why this is a popular gift for moms when getting their little one something fun that doesn’t get boring quickly.

Melissa & Doug Toolbox 

This is a fun gift for the aspiring builder. Your little boy will absolutely love having his own tools. Toys like this will develop your toddler’s imagination to new levels since the fun for them here is that they get to create their own games and activities with their toolset, and pretend they’re a grown up builder. This builds both imagination and confidence.

The set contains lots of goodies for your little boy to have fun with, including a hammer, nails and saw which he can use to build his pretend house, a vibrating drill, blocks and a handy screwdriver. The toolbox its self is lovely and soft, with a nice thick, easy to grasp handle that’s also a ruler which he can use to measure things with. The set is constructed of fabric and plastic, so it’s completely safe and the manufacturer’s recommended ages are 2 to 4 years, but I personally think that 4 is a bit too old for a toy like this. 2 is really a great age for imagination based toys like this one.

LEGO DUPLO Town Push Train Set

Lego is a game that gives hours of fun and helps encourage creativity in an easy to use and fun way. There are so many different types with all different themes and sets to build, which is why this is a good choice for a children’s gift.

This track set is filled with lego pieces and has loads of different fun things to sort out. There is a train and a train track with level crossings included. The wagon and car included in the set mean there are enough lego pieces to go around for everyone to join in the fun. Families and lego go together and some find that it is great for father-son bonding. This might be for children aged from 2 years old to 5 years old, but older grown-ups find this fun too.

There are loads of accessories with this play set, which include flowers and creates to make the fun and play last all day. The buildable train has a driver and so does the car and with each sized around over 10 cm’s in height and 28 in length this is big enough to be exciting.

The building block idea is a favorite with toddlers and parents agree that Lego is one of the games that kids get countless hours of fun, building, sorting and expanding their world through the imaginary world of lego.

This RC car has music to ramp up the sounds, lights to dazzle the onlookers and with easy to use controls, which is why this is ideal for a first-time user RC car.

This features 2 channels with a forward and reverses function, which combined with steering left or right makes this almost as good as the big-boys-toys. The honking sound is a fun and will get a few laughs from people, including the little guy. The driver of the car can be removed and placed as an action figure.

This is designed for children 18 months and older, which is why this is the perfect for any occasion, whether a present for Christmas or birthday and for those buying for another friend’s child this is a safe bet.

WolVol Push and Go Car Toys 

Push and go cars have been around a long time and children always go through a phase of wanting one. With this set, they get not one but three to play with!

There is a toy green harvester truck, orange street sweeper and a truck for cement mixing. Each one stands out and is easy to use with a push and go motion for toddlers. The set of 3 is friction powered and great for developing motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

The way these trucks work is by pushing forward, the more the increased speed, which will in a few motions make the features of the truck come alive and begin to motion forward.

Each vehicle has a rotating function, operates like a real truck would and with no batteries needed this is a good choice for a present. I like that each one is well-made and sturdy. Some toys break easily with too much-applied pressure, but these toy trucks are built to last the test of time. This is meant for 18 months old + and with the little boy being 2 years this is ideal.

Priddy baby creates great books and this one about all the different vehicles that the world has to offer is a fantastic gift idea for little boys who love their trucks.

Most little boys parents find they love trucks, tractors, buses, motorcycles and anything that goes fast. This is why this book is a perfect choice as a gift for those toddlers who love transportation vehicles, big and noisy fire stations and all vehicles that go whizzing by on the highway.

These books are aimed at children aged 1 to 3 years old and are a perfect learning tool for them to extend their vocabulary and begin associating specific vehicles with the right name of the vehicle.

I like that with these books you can both learn about the different types by visually looking at the pages, but also by sticking the 500 photographs of trucks onto the activity sheets/paper.

Learning to match names with visuals is a key component to children’s development and the more words learned at an early stage the better prepared they are for kindergarten, which is why some parents love this book.
