So you have a toddler, well you are in the right place! Toddlers, in my opinion, are the best age to buy for. They are out of the baby stage, so not everything goes into their mouth, but everything is still exciting. Stick? Let me see it! Butterfly? So pretty! Cardboard box? Best day ever!!! Am I right?!
That makes buying for toddlers a whole lot of fun. Check out some of our favorites below:

The Best Stocking Stuffers for Toddlers
Mess Free Bluey Water Coloring
We absolutely love these books! They are the perfect on-the-go activity to keep your kiddo engaged but not create a giant mess in the back seat of the car. We use these in the car, at restaurants, waiting for the doctor, in church, and even just at home!
Character Band-Aids
Ok, so this one is probably not on the top of your list but hear me out! If your kiddos are anything like mine, they fall down a lot. Aaaaand, even if there is no blood, they still want a band-aid to make it feel better. My husband and I have different opinions on this topic, but ‘apparently‘ I went down to the nurse every day in 1st grade to get a band-aid (with no boo-boo) and I turned out just fine! Sooooo, why not grab some fun designs and add a pack to each stocking, since you’ll be using them all year long!
Minnie Comb and Brush Set
This is a great age to start encouraging self care and imaginative play is the perfect way to do that! This cute little hair set will fit perfectly in a stocking and will help your sweetie practice managing their own hair.
Play-Doh
Can you ever go wrong with Play-Doh? I don’t think so! This stuff is a hit at so many different ages (my 10 year old actually still loves setting up a Play-Doh restaurant with his brothers and ‘making‘ different dishes. They could literally play that game for hours! These cans are the perfect size to throw in a stocking or two.
Joyin Pull Back Cars
My 4-year-old loves cars. Like, he will turn anything possible into a vehicle of some sort! These awesome little vehicles are the perfect addition to any vehicle lovers stocking. Plus, the set comes with 18 cars, so you can spread the love and split the cars between a few kiddos!
CAT Construction Trucks
If your little is more into construction than regular cars, then this is the set for you! We have had these cars for years and they are still played with almost daily! I actually created this fun sensory bin set up with them that my kids are for on repeat!
Wooden Camera
This is a great gift for a little who likes to imaginative play. Even though we have a few different plastic cameras that make noise, this is still the one that the kids gravitate towards most often. There is just something about a wooden toy!
Wooden Animal Stackers
I love that this toy is made from sustainable wood, depicts animals, and doubles as a stacking toy. There are so many bonuses here. This is one of those toys that will grow with your kiddo too.
This is such a joyful age group to shop for, have fun with it! Try not to get lured into all of the shiny new trendy toys that you see popping up on socials. Stick with the tried and true, and, I promise, you won’t regret it!
