right toys for toddlers?

[momhop]

Hi. I am a mother of a toddler and my friend's son who happens to be a toddler as well will be celebrating his birthday in the coming weeks. I wonder what would be a good gift for him. Looking forward to hear your tips. :flower:

Playdough! My son's just turned 2 and LOVED his new play dough set. He's old enough to know not to eat it and loves all the shapes it can make. It's also turned out to be a great way to teach him his colours- he learnt several in the first week of playing with it! As a teacher to 5 year old, I also know that it's popular with kids up to that age too!

My little boy (2 years old) is crazy about buses and trucks - a cliche I know but a gift of a vehicle always goes down well with him. Cooking sets haven't gone down so well with both my kids.

Mine likes to play lego, he just stacks them up to all sorts of weird shapes
