An amazing gift that any fast-moving 2-year-old would love is a learn-to-steer scooter their size, made by Micro Kickboard. This mini scooter comes in eight different colors, and has a range of great features like the low, textured deck that makes for easy cruising, comfortable hand grips suitable for a child’s hands, a safe 3-wheel design with an easy learn-to-steer mechanism, as well as a fixed handlebar for your 2-year-old to hold onto.

It also has polyurethane wheels and a reinforced deck that’s sure to absorb any bumps in the road, which is great for smooth, sturdy riding in the park. It’ll be a gift that keeps on giving, as it grows with a child from age 2 to 5 so they’ll be able to learn to ride year after year. You’ll be sure to beg them to put it away.

If your 2-year-old loves to draw, whether it be with crayon, or on walls as some do, it’s safe to say they’ll fall in love with Mycaron’s LCD Writing Tablet. Its design is great for children, as it comes in three bright colors, and looks like a fun cartoon animal that they won’t be able to resist. It also makes the screen easier to hold for children’s hands with accessible handles on both sides.

This LCD screen is matte so that it won’t be too bright, or affect your child’s eyes, and feels just like drawing on paper. It’s also lightweight and anti-shatter due to the screen’s high-strength ABS material. This LCD drawing tablet is easy to use, as it has a one-button clear function at the top of the tablet to allow children to create multiple creations, as well as being a great way to save paper and protect the environment.

It also comes with two stylus pens to draw, one nestled into the bottom of the screen which serves as a backup if the first stylus is lost. Because of that, it’s even great to allow for lighter packing when on the go, so creativity can keep flowing.

Another interactive educational gift is J-Hong’s Matching Eggs Toy Set. It’s a great way to improve your 2-year-old’s hand-eye coordination and recognition skills, as well as strengthening their knowledge on colors and numbers. They can count, sort, and match shapes together to create a full egg, complete with a storage “carton” that looks adorable once all put together and cleaned up.

It’s made of a high-quality, non-toxic plastic that’s easy for small hands to handle all on their own. And since this toy comes with a lot of pieces, kids will be sure to play with this toy for hours. They’re also very durable and will last for many playtimes, and since some shapes are more difficult to match than others, it allows the child to grow with the toy, making it a great gift that will keep on giving.

For creative 2-year-olds, a drawing mat is a great idea for a gift, as it provides for multiple uses, and relies on the child’s creativity to make the gift magical—though they might already think so from the special cartoon drawings around the edges of the mat. The size of Betheaces' Aqua Magic Doodle Mat is optimal for laying it across a tabletop or on the floor for easy-access drawing. It’s made out of a soft, polyester material that feels comfortable to lay on and later fold up to a compact size for traveling. It’s also eco-friendly and non-toxic, making it safe for kids.

It doesn’t require multiple parts, just some clean water on standby. When you’re ready to use it, just fill the pen with water and draw on the mat. There won’t be a need to clean up, as it’s mess free with a water-resistant nylon backing that won’t wet up your table or floor. After 3-10 minutes, the drawings will disappear and make room to draw over and over again.

This gift is also great for sharing, should you choose to join the little one, or if there are other kids around. What better way to improve a child’s hand-eye coordination, stimulate their creativity, and pass the time than with such an easy, fuss-free drawing mat?

If you want to keep it classic, Play-Doh is the way to go with Kahootz’s Fun Factory Playset. It comes with authentic Play-Doh, the marvelous putty we all know and love, easy to stamp, pump, roll, squish, mix, and squeeze into shapes to fulfill a kid’s imagination. Modeled after an actual factory building, kids can put the Play-Doh through a pasta-like maker and watch it come out like spaghetti, or long lines that work well for creating artwork as they please.

In this set, you’ll get eight one-ounce cans of Play-Doh, the classic-style Fun Factory, 12 different shape stamps, a trimming knife, and a double-laminated mat for a mess-free playtime.

As such an iconic toy, you could show your 2-year-old a thing or two about how to use it, making it a wonderful gift that they’ll later thank you for, as they’ll be sure to love it for generations to come.

AtopDream’s Starlight Lamp is a great choice for a gift that won’t require any assembly or clean-up the way a lot of different children's toys do. It does all the fun for you by projecting up to 15 feet of star and moon-shaped lights along the walls of a room, and will cover up to 250 feet with its clear pattern. This is a wonderful way to brighten up a room at night for a dazzling light show any kid will enjoy before bed.

It can also be used as a nightlight with its child mode that allows you to cover the projections with a dome that will soften the lights to a nice glow, making any dark room a calm atmosphere they’ll be sure to feel comfortable in. It is also noiseless, so you won’t have to worry about any disruptions in a child’s sleep as the lights work their magic.

This Starlight Lamp can change color as well with three different modes, allowing you to change the colors as you please, from a warm steady white light to more colorful modes so you can set the mood as you see fit, or watch them play with all the colors it can make. As such a multifunctional product, children will be able to use this light for years and may keep it in their rooms well after they’ve outgrown their night light stage.

The oven will even make sizzle sounds when the pan is placed on the stove! This toy is a great way to help strengthen your child’s development as well as serving as genuine fun for cooking playtime.

It’s a notorious fact that every kid loves animals, so an educational toy about them would be a perfect gift for almost any child. Bayboo Toys’ jungle farm stuffed animals are cuddly, great for pretend play, and when pressed, will spout up to four different facts about themselves. So, while playing, your 2-year-old will be able to learn about lions, elephants, pandas, and monkeys.

The animals’ phrases are set to music to catch the attention of your child, and make animal noises for kids to later identify. These adorable plush animals also come with their own carrying case to make for easy clean up and storage, as well as for easy travel should you want to take playtime elsewhere. Each stuffed animal also has easy access through the back zipper once it’s time to refresh those batteries for extended learn-and-play time.

In case you forgot, kids love Lego, so you can never go wrong in buying a new kit for them to set a new scene. This kit is complete with 65 pieces to let a 2-year-old’s imagination run wild. It includes a wagon with wheels that turn, windows that open, as well as a boy figure and a dog figure to give their scene some character. There are also numbered bricks to help develop counting skills. This Lego set is also designed to be larger, so if they’re still in that phase where most things end up in their mouths, it will be safe for young kids to use.

Not to mention that everything is oh-so-stackable, making it a great toy that will last through multiple playtimes, as they can deconstruct and reconstruct their little town as they please. This also means that this set is also compatible with other Duplo constructive sets, so it could be a great way to start a collection for the little one. It even comes with a storage box for easy clean up.
