2 Year Old Birthday Gifts

When shopping for 2-year-old gift ideas, you should first, consider the specific child’s developmental stage in mind. What skills are they exhibiting, and which do they need help with? How do they currently communicate, move, and play?

Most toddlers love learning to pour items from a container, can build towers and stack items, sort by shape and colour, and follow simple directions. If this reminds you of the little one you're shopping for, then  we have some amazing gift ideas in our Stacking and Sorting Collections.

But remember, every child is unique and will hit developmental milestones at different times. So if the toddler you love seems a little behind on these fine motor skills, try considering gifts that assist with the development of those skills.

If you’ve got a growing girl running around the house, we have something magical to make her learning experience more magical. At this age, your little girl will have more control over her hands and fingers, which means it’s time to start getting into dolls, roleplay and imaginative play.

Plus, she’ll no doubt be wanting to challenge her mind with more complicated puzzles and stacking challenges — here are some brilliant ideas around 2 year old birthday gifts for girls

• The Play Tent Playhouse is the perfect place for your little girl to have some alone time, whether she needs a time-out or simply wants her own space to play. Designed like a garden cottage with vines, pot plants and even a kitty cat wandering around the exterior, this tiny playhouse is made of durable polyester fabric and features a fold-down door when she wants to play solo. Just add a Calm & Breezy Garden Set and watch as she starts to role play with friends!  

•  Our Little Tree House Playset is a great way to introduce small world play to your toddler. Featuring a felt papoose play mat, three wooden treehouses and two peg dolls to wander around the imaginary neighbourhood, your girl can create a magical world of her own. Plus, the set comes with plenty of wooden blocks for her to build city walls, extra houses or even use them as furniture for her dolls.  

• The Bath Time Tea Party Set is ideal for little ones who want to cater for mum or dad, even at bathtime! If your growing girl has already expressed an interest in helping in the kitchen, this tea set will spark her imagination when it’s time for a bath. With a transparent teapot, vibrant yellow teacups and assorted cakes (doubled as water squirters), your child can host the best tea party ever!  

• The Petilou Petit Activity Cube is an all-in-one, multi-functional activity box with tonnes of learning and playtime opportunities. The activity cube has doors to open, a spinning wheel, ABC and 123 flaps, three spinning gears and a xylophone for musical play. There’s no limit to what your little one can learn from this versatile toy box!

From puzzles to playsets, we have all the 2 year old birthday gifts to make your girl’s big day special. Shop the range online — we offer free shipping on orders over $199.

Playtime is the perfect time to teach kids how to name and identify colors (some children can even learn to spell them at this stage). Check out one of the most popular 2-year-old present ideas, the Wooden Rainbow Starter Pack featuring a colourful collection of rainbow stackers and peg people.

At this age, your little boy is filled with energy and fearlessness. From kicking a ball around the yard to running around the house at top speed, your boy has some energy to burn — and lots of important things to learn!

If you’re racking your brain trying to think of fun presents for 2 year old boys, we have you covered. Here are some of our top picks for boys

• The Railway Bucket Builder Set offers a chance for your toddler to build their own town! Featuring a 50 piece train set and a handy storage box that can be used as part of the scenery, you can introduce your boy to open-ended and imaginative play. Roll the trains along the tracks, follow the road signs and take in the scenery — this set is perfect for creative little minds.  

• Our Toy Fire Truck can expand on imaginative play even further. Ideal for kids who yell “fire truck” whenever a big red fire engine speeds on by with sirens blaring, this toy truck will spark their imagination and allow them to be a little fireman for the day. This set comes with a fireman, an extendable firehose and a trusty dalmatian to keep your tiny fireman company.  

• Our Fix-It Tool Box is perfect for boys who want to help mum or dad with household chores and maintenance. With nuts, bolts and all the tools your little builder needs to tinker, your child can learn what each tool does and how to use them.  

• The Euca Rainbow is a great way to encourage your boy’s creative and problem-solving skills. Each colour of the rainbow can be disassembled so your child can restack them, balance toys on the arches, create colourful hills and bridges for their pretend-play scenery and even watch marbles roll up and down the arch.

Turning two is an exciting time for your toddler. By now, your little one might be running around and falling down less, or managing staircases while using the handrail for balance. They’re getting better with throwing, kicking and catching a ball, and might even be able to balance on one foot for a few seconds at a time.

Their hand-eye coordination is on the up-and-up and they’re keen to take on the world all by themselves. With this in mind, we’ve put together a few recommendations on what to buy for your 2 year old’s birthday

• The Tiny Tot Plus Trike is perfect for little ones who have a need for speed! Kids as young as 18 months can start learning the ropes on this three-wheeled trike which can easily be converted into a two-wheel balance bike when they’re ready for their next challenge. With a step-through frame, your child’s feet will be closer to the ground so they feel safe while pushing themselves around the house or the backyard.  

• The Kinderfeets Bamboo Balance Bike is the next step up for the child who’s mastered the art of the three-wheeled trike. This stunning bamboo balance bike is the starting point for learning how to ride a conventional two-wheeled bicycle — the design allows your child to learn at their own pace from walking forwards to striding and coasting down small slopes.  

• The Scoot With Me Bundle is always a popular choice among two year olds! This set includes a three-wheeled scooter for your little one to learn on, as well as an adult-sized scooter so you can join them on their learning experience. The three-wheeled kid’s scooter will help improve your child’s balance and coordination, which are vital for the development of early motor skills.  

•  Our Vintage Helmets can add the finishing touch to your 2 year old’s birthday gift. With a hard plastic outer shell, foam pads on the inside and adjustable chin straps, your little one will be safe to scoot, skate and ride in absolute safety. These helmets are available in blue and red (just be sure to measure your child’s head before purchasing — we have size guides available online).  

• Our Honeybake Mixer Set is ideal for the child who loves to help mum or dad in the kitchen. This award-winning set features a wooden mixer, a rolling pin and play ingredients like egg, flour and sugar, preparing your child for the real-life kitchen adventures ahead.  

•  Our Calm & Breezy Kids Garden Tool Belt will excite little boys and girls who want to help in the garden. Featuring a rake, a trowel, a fork, a waist bag and a ladybird bookmark, your child can get involved with gardening and start learning more about plants, how to care for plants and what mum or dad is doing in the garden.
