I’ve done this toddler thing 4 times. That’s right, I’m a mom to 4 kids – and as trying and troubling as the toddler years are, if I can survive FOUR times – you can too.
We all know tots love their toys, but with technology now a days – it’s easy to just throw our kids an electronic. Rather than doing that, here is what you need to do. The below toddler toys are toys tots will actually play with and enjoy. Best part? These aren’t tech toys, these are real toys!

Wooden Blocks
Another oldie but goodie toddler toy is wooden blocks. Wooden blocks have been around for centuries and make an excellent tool to teach basic math concepts, organizational skills, sequential skills, and spatial relations. It is no surprise that blocks are found in almost every pre-school and kindergarten classroom. We bought these years ago, and while I hate the mess the make – each of our kids, 2 – 10 years old LOVE these. Youngsters become the architect of their own world as they fit pieces together to form their vision. This open-ended play set stimulates creativity and hones basic motor skills.
There is no limit to the types of fortresses the child can build with these blocks. This deluxe set even contains pillars, buttresses, gothic circles, and half-circles for advanced architecture. As an added bonus, the storage box doubles as a building platform. Children and parents have fun as they complete projects together. Parents can purchase another set and add to the amusement.
An essential for any child’s toy box, these blocks are sturdy, durable, and beautiful enough to put on display. The box measures 15 x 12.2 x 5.4 inches. (Manufacturer recommended age: 36 months – 7 years)
