Holiday Gift Guide for Toddlers – 2025

All things toddler! Such a fun age… I know I say this just about every year, but I miss this age! Lots of fun toys to get all that energy out. You can also check out the BABY gift guide if you’re looking for things for a bit of a younger crowd.

Tent – The possibilities of imaginary play are endless with this! Love this star design one too!

Cardboard Cutter – You know how much cardboard you have laying around? Make it into a sought after item with this cardboard cutting tool. The cool part about it is it’s totally safe for littles and won’t cut them!

Puzzle Car Track – This is one of those toys that will last them a long time and all the kids will want to play with it. Lots of buttons and they can use problem solving skills!

Stair Slide – Bring the park inside! The pieces all come apart for easy storage too. My kids would love this to this day.

Mini Rollercoaster – My boys would have played with this for hours! Would be the perfect outside toy.. or bring it in in the winter to get wiggles out.

Mini Hydrojug – Everything is cuter when it’s little and this tumbler is no exception. It’s leakproof which is awesome for those little hands! Code TARA works for 10% off!

Sit + Stand Scooter – Love that you can ride this like a regular scooter and they can also sit and push their legs. Could help them learn to ride a scooter a bit better too.

Tubby Todd – When my kids were little, this is what I used on their sensitive skin. It’s the BEST! This link will save ya $$!

Play Couch – Endless open ended play with this bad boy. I know lots kids with these couches and

Mini Tramp – This tramp from Gathre is not only GORGEOUS, it’s great for getting energy out during the cold winter months.

Kitchen Helper – I swear I always had kids at my feet when I was cooking. This helps them to be counter level and is safer than a chair. I really like that it folds up and out of the way when not in use.

Print Camera – Do your kids love to take your phone and take pictures? Now they can take their own and print the pictures right then and there.. I love seeing the world through my kids eyes. This would be so fun!

Magnetic Tiles – Hours and hours of play with these. I love toys that are open ended play, heck.. your older kids will love these too.

Quiet Book – Perfect for travel, sitting at doctor appointments, or church! Really anywhere where they need to keep busy but not be too loud. HERE is the princess one and HERE is the blue one.

Color Wonder – I LOVED these when my boys were little, mess free coloring. The markers only work on the special paper. They have all sorts of themes and characters you can choose from too.

Plip Kit – Saw these on IG and love them.. heck, I’d love playing with them! They connect so you can build off of one another.

Bluey Hide and Seek – For all the Bluey fans out there. You (or one of the kids) can hide Bluey and she starts talking louder and louder until you find her.

Light Board – I’ve seen this one floating around online. The bottom of the table lights up and you can create different shapes and objects with the tiles. Would be a great learning tool too!

Grocery Checkout Stand – Lots of imaginary play with this one! My girls used to have one similar.

Balance Beams – Another open ended toy that is really popular last year, they came out with this new set. You can move the beams and the circles to make all kinds of obstacles.

Wiggle Car – My kids loved these growing up and they’ll play with them for years and years.

Magnetic Men – A great ‘quiet toy’ for travel, church, etc.

Kitchen Sink – This actually can run water through it, which as you know, is really exciting for kids.

Play Kitchen – Love the bins at the bottom of this to put all the play food and utensils. GENIUS.

Toy Food – Great to grab is you’re getting a play kitchen or grocery stand.

Pajamas – Lots of cute Christmas jammies on this site! Also love these ones from hanna andersson!

Make Your Own Squishies – I gifted these to a few people and they were a HIT. You use the plastic molds that they have and the then a bunch of different colored gels come with it. You fill the molds and then put it in the water/solution and it makes these fun squishy creatures.

Golf Set – Okay, how cute is this? Braun’s dream come true! You can never start practicing too early (I’m sure..)

Smol Mushroom – This is great for small spaces! One takes a box fan to make the ultimate fort!

Tonies – I’m sure you’ve seen these on your feed. Love that it’s screen free & you can get different characters that will tell your kids stories.

Basketball Hoop + Soccer Goal – All in one soccer goal, basketball hoop, and golf putter.

Lola Blanket – The softest blankets you’ll ever feel. Seriously, we are all obsessed with them. Code TARA will you $$ at checkout!

Bounce House – My assistant, Hannah, bought this for her little guy when he was 2 and it’s STILL a hit at 5. It’s pretty big but can be used inside and outside. A great price point too!

Wobble Disk – A great tool to get energy out (especially being cooped up in the winter!). They can sit in it, stand in it, or flip it over and stand on top of it. An open ended play must.

Strider Balance Bike – Dash and Jett loved these when they were little, helped them learn to ride a bike so much quicker!
