Best Gifts for a 2 Year Old Boy

A 2 year old boy can be quite tricky to buy for. They're past the baby toys and interested in big kids toys. But lots of toys are from age 3 only.

You might feel okay buying such toys for your own two year old, but when buying a gift you probably want to choose a toy that is recommended as suitable from age 2. 

This collection of toys includes lots of fun toys that two year old boys will enjoy and which have been designed for their age group. 

This Green Toys Dump Truck is proving very popular with toddler boys and their green parents. 

A lot of toy dinosaurs are recommended from age three. But these Battat Dino bath toys are suitable from 10 months.

They are lovely dinosaurs. full of character and perfect for little hands. There's no reason why you need to restrict these colorful dinos to the bath. They're great for playing with in the yard or indoors. 

Both my boys loved dinosaurs from a very young age. 

Elmo is a toddler favorite. Sesame Street Let's Rock Elmo Sesame Street is the major new Elmo toy for Christmas 2011. 

Elmo sings and comes with a microphone, drums and tambourine - he recognises which one he has been given. Very cute and will get toddlers up and dancing. 

 Let's Rock Elmo is one of the hot toys this Christmas so make sure you get him early.

He also interacts with kids playing other instruments in the Let's Rock Elmo Range.

Most two year old boys like building and animals. The Lego Duplo animal zoo has both. 

Lego Duplo is perfect for two year old hand to put together. They'll be able to make their own Lego models just like bigger kids. 

This set includes some brilliant animals which are chunky and very cute: baby elephant, tiger, fish, polar bear and giraffe. There's also a zookeeper and zoo vehicle, meat for the tiger and lots of other accessories

You can get lots of other Duplo sets to add to the collection. This one makes a great starter set. 

Toddler love scooters as soon as they can ride them, but many are designed for older kids. This Radio Flyer My First Scooter is designed specifically for little kids and has a big stable base. 

I don't think all kids who have just turned two will be able to master a scooter, but most will get the hang of it somewhere between two and three so it's a good gift to buy a two year old for Christmas. They'll have great fun trying it out indoors and will have it ready to use outdoors when they get the hang of it - and the weather gets better. 

The scooter folds in half for easy storage and transport. 

Don't forget to get a helmet and protective pads. 

We love these brightly colored monster bowling pins from Melissa & Doug, they'll real appeal to a toddlers sense of humor. 

Toddlers will love their success at knocking the pins down with the monster bowling ball, it's a fun game to play together with a toddler. 

But we bet that a 2 year old boy will find lots of other things to do with these cool monsters. They'll get lined up, talked to and generally played with. 

The designs on the monsters give you lots of opportunity to expand your toddlers vocabulary. 

Toddler boys love pretending to fix things! They'll have a brilliant time if you play along and ask them for their help with something that needs mending or putting together. 

The Kidoozie Little Builder Toolbet Set includes a play hammer, pliers, adjustable wrench and a screwdriver with two swappable bits. And there's an electronic beeper for building emergencies.

Your two year old will love wearing his tools in the canvas tool belt and responding to building emergencies.

This toy gets great reviews.
