Toddler play pushes little kids to the next level of physical, social, intellectual, and emotional development. Our selection of toddler toys is divvied up according to function: motor skills, fine motor skills, and imaginative play.

Toys for Pushing & Pulling encourage toddlers who have just begun walking to get those little feet going: toys like the Educo Wonder Walker give them support as they toddle along, and captivate kids with nifty activities. Once they get better at walking, kids can shoot out balls with the Pic n Pop Push Walker, and pick them up again.

Toys for Building, Sorting, & Pounding get into the nitty gritty of fine motor skills: these items help kids master the use of their hands (heretofore used exclusively for sucking on and perhaps throwing toys). This is where kids encounter their first building blocks, make their first attempts at stacking and sorting, and discover the joys of whacking things with a hammer. This department is full of great wooden toys: we’ve got great options in this department from eco-friendly PlanToys, Melissa & Doug, Haba, and other favorites of parents and kids.

And then there’s Toddler Activity Toys! Of course, all toddler toys are fun, but these activities add another element to playtime: your child is beginning to engage in imaginative and intellectual play. Items like My Busy Town from Alex Toys introduce colors and letters, and My Talking Farm by Chicco introduces language skills – in two languages! Es muy divertido! Items like the Eco Home doll house by PlanToys kick the fun up another notch by encouraging early role-playing, and the 123 sets from Playmobil get kids started with their first toy cars, toy trains, toy trucks, toy buses, and more.

Your toddler’s little hands, feet, and mind are ready to get moving – and with these toddler toys, it’s all up, up, and away! show less
