Does your child have a Valentine’s Day celebration at daycare and you want to send a little something for all their friends? Or maybe you just want to get the toddlers in your life a valentine and need gift ideas? Either way I’ve got you covered.
As a parent of 5 kids, I’ve been around the block when it comes to finding appropriate toddler toys for holidays like Valentine’s Day. It’s a tricky age; especially when they’re old enough to want small toys other themed items, but still can’t have small objects.
I always loved giving gifts to my kids when they were toddlers. There’s something so fun about a small toy, movie, activity, or treat. Plus any excuse to give my kids gift is OK by me!
That being said, I based this list off things that I would find appropriate for my toddlers. You should always decide what works best based on your child’s personality.
