My toddler just turned 2, an age where buying gifts can be tricky, because you can’t be sure just how much they actually want, or enjoy the toy you’ve chosen.

If you need to buy a gift for a 2 year old boy, but have no idea where to start, here are some gift ideas for 2 year old boys that I know my 2 year old would enjoy, so hopefully yours will as well.

Hape Wonderful Beech Wood Building Blocks

These wooden building blocks are blocks that I currently have, and both of my boys love playing with them.

The blocks are bright, and come in a variety of sizes to keep children entertained for ages.

Best of all, as your 2 year old gets older, they can start to build more complex things with these blocks, such as castles, cars, and multi story buildings.

Little Tykes Gas n Go Mower

This Little Tykes mower makes noises like a real mower, has a key that clicks, a throttle that moves, and a gas can that’s removable, so your 2 year old feels like they’re really mowing when they play with it.

It also encourages your 2 year old to walk more, if like my 2 year old this is something that they need encouragement with.

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Pounding Bench Toddler Toy

2 year old boys love to bash things, and this Melissa and Doug product is the perfect bash to your heart’s content toy.

It’s made from wood, and provides a fun way for your 2 year old to practice their hand eye coordination.

Woodlets Touch and Feel Farm Puzzle

Puzzles are one of the best gift ideas for 2 year old boys because they don’t cost a lot, there’s a massive variety, and have a lot of developmental qualities.

What makes this puzzle so great is that it has chunky puzzle pieces, which are perfect for small hands to hold, and each puzzle piece has a different texture behind it for added sensory stimulation.

Jaques of London Wooden Car Garage

Wooden toys are a great addition to any gift ideas for 2 year old boys list, because they’re durable, and I know that for me if a toy isn’t durable, it doesn’t last long.

This Jaques of London Wooden Car Garage is smooth, colourful, and can be played with by even the smallest of hands.

Another bonus of this toy is that it’s best played with sitting up. So if you have a little one that needs to develop some strength in their back muscles, this toy allows them to develop strength in a fun way.

Fun Time Ball Blowing Loco

I bought this toy for Thomas’ second birthday because whenever we go to a local softplay, it’s the toy he races to immediately, and takes with him on the softplay equipment.

He loves that the balls move whenever he pushes the train around, and I love that it keeps him entertained for ages.

Kid’s Rocket Slide

What I love about this slide is that it can be used inside or outside, and it folds away so it’s easy to store, even if you have limited storage space.

It also has some great safety features, which are rounded soft edges, a handrail, and a pebble texture on the steps so your child doesn’t slip as they’re climbing them, all perfect for 2 year old boys who love to climb and throw themselves off play equipment.

Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Smart Stages Chair

A friend of mine has this Fisher-Price chair, and whenever we visit my 2 year old plays on it for ages.

This chair has buttons on it that when pressed play songs, a book that has pages that can be flipped over, and when your child stands from sitting, the chair automatically plays songs and says phrases.

There’s also three settings on this toy, which play different songs and say different phases according to the developmental phase of your child.

Clementoni First Ride on Car

I love how bright and vintage looking this ride on car is, and it’s one of my favourite gift ideas for 2 year old boys because it’s a toy that allows your 2 year old to be more confident using their legs to move them along, which my 2 year old desperately needs to do.

Bright Starts Spin and Giggle Giraffe

This Bright Starts giraffe can be played with when your child is sitting or standing.

When sitting, your child can drop balls into the giraffe’s mouth, which makes the giraffe light up and play music. They can also press buttons on the giraffe’s tie to hear silly sounds and songs.

When standing, your child can touch the giraffe’s horns, which make balls fly out of its feet.

I hope you’ve found some gift ideas for 2 year old boys here that you think your 2 year old boy would love.
