Things You'll Need
Instructions
Know that toddlers enjoy play-acting and motion. They like toys they can manipulate.
Think about your child's interests when buying toddler toys. Does your child enjoy music, role-play, vehicles, outdoor play or push toys? There is a Fisher-Price toy to suit every child's needs and interests.
Look at some of the vehicles available. The Stack 'n' Build Choo Choo ($14), Spiral Speedway ($14), Happy Bulldozer ($6), and Roll Around Action Farm ($13) all include vehicles.
Notice that the push toys are very popular. They include the classic Corn Popper ($8), Melody Push Chime Snoopy ($8), award-winning Band Wagon ($23), Activity Walker ($20), and Walk 'n' Waddle Duck ($8).
Be sure to consider the Little People sets. These include the well-known Farm ($28), Fun Sounds Garage ($28), and the Main Street ($28). These sets encourage creative play and coordination.
Realize that ride-on toys are also excellent toddler gifts. Fisher-Price has the Barbie Butterfly tricycle ($22) and a Tough Trike ($22) as well as a Ready Steady Ride-on ($20) for the youngest riders and the Rock Roll 'n' Ride Trike ($33) that converts from a rocker to a rider. A few Power Wheels toys (motorized ride-ons) are designed for toddlers as well.
Consider some other classic Fisher-Price toddler toys. The Snaplock Beads ($3) are very inexpensive and provide hours of fun. The Chatter Phone ($7) is a time-tested classic.
Know that role-playing is encouraged with the Medical Kit ($9), Play Desk ($14), and Tap 'n' Turn Bench ($6).
