Toddler toys should be simple. Learning at this age happens through experimentation and discovery, through heuristic play

The best toddler toys are wooden blocks, trolleys, puzzles, shape sorters and stacking toys. Your child is developing both gross and fine motor skills and learning to co-ordinate the two. At this age, play is all about action.
