toddler toys are their favorites?

What is your toddler "boys" favorite toys and are worth the money?


Answer
My 2 1/2 year old is absolutely in love with Diego. (It has been a life saver in so many areas! We did his room entirely in Diego, and it actually helped him transition from his crib to the toddler bed with no problems. Anytime he doesn't want to go to bed we just get him excited about his Diego bed!)For Christmas we bought him the big rescue center and his grandpa got him a different one. We can now just buy him the extra animals that go with it when we want to get him a new toy. He gets so excited about these! He takes the animals with him every time we go somewhere that he might get bored, including restaurants. They make a little case specifically for them.

As for other toys that have been worth the money, he likes any form of toy car. He has everything from hotwheels to tonka trucks. I love watching him dig through his toy box and picking out all of the cars (no matter what size) so he can play with them together. He also loves animals (part of this stems from his love of Diego) and dinosaurs. We bought him the little packs of 50 animals and 50 dinosaurs for about $2.88 at walmart and these have been amazing! He can sit there and make each animal noise (again learned mostly from Diego) and he loves to make the dinosaurs roar.

The best toys to get for your son are whatever suits his personality. If he has a tv show that he loves, get toys that are related to that. For my son it not only ensures that he plays with them, but it also makes him get more into the educational shows. He's learning spanish, animal noises, and counting way before I thought he'd ever learn it. The only things that I really try not to waste my money on are toys like leapfrog and baby einstien. He's never really gotten that into them, as there is nothing in them that he can relate to. I've known several people who spent alot of money on these things for their kids to never touch them. I know they are supposed to be very educational, but so far my son has learned more from the toys that you would think of as mere novelty.

Good luck!

Why do baby, toddler, and boys in general that are children like to play with toy cars?

Why do they?


Answer
Because it's fun, same reason girls play with those toys.
But not all of them do. My 4 year old nephew has zero interest in cars, planes, trucks, etc, and rather prefers playing with Legos or art sets. On the other side of that coin, his sister who's 11 months younger, is a fanatic about hotwheels and shows no interest in dolls or art or legos.

Allowed any toy without parents placing a higher value on certain toys or pushing certain toys/play types based on gender (dolls are for girls, cars are for boys - that nonsense), children will play with whatever they like, and sometimes that doesn't fit in with the typical idea that boys naturally love cars and girls naturally love dolls and tea sets.
