One of our favorite baby/todder toys is the Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube. You can read my full review HERE but the tl;dr is that it's a great toy to introduce classical music with lights and sound.

You can read HERE about how much we love Duplo Blocks. This is for the Classic 65 piece All in One Box. This is one of those toys that I think that every single toddler needs. There's so much you can do with this one set. 

The next toy on our list is the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Grow & Learn Garden Caddy. Little ones will love 'watering' the garden and discovering how the fruits and veggies magically 'grow' when they place the pot shapes in the right spot! There’s lots of role play fun and fine-motor-skill-building activities, too. Tip the watering can to hear fun rain stick sounds. Bat at the roller to hear a song. Press the flowers for sweet songs, tunes and phrases about opposites and colors. Play peek-a-boo with the bee slider. And watch as the ladybug lights up the fun!

Another super fun toy is the Hape Pound & Tap Bench with Slide Out Xylophone. Encourage your child to explore the different notes that sound out at the balls fall upon the keys. Or, slide out the xylophone for a quieter version of the game. The melodious notes of the xylophone will ring out and delight your child's senses as they grow in confidence and musical ability. The options are endless and help make learning fun for toddlers who are eagerly exploring and engaging with the world around them.

For all of you sports fans out there, the Little Tykes T-ball sit hits a home run. We have this here and both boys use it. Froot Loop is actually getting fairly good at hitting the ball off of it and will probably play T-ball in the spring. I am just teaching Cocoa Puff how to hit the ball. The height is adjustable and it easily hangs on the wall for storage. 

Under $30:

Another classic toy that every toddler should have is the Cozy Coupe. Well, for someone who has that awesome Cozy Coupe, here's the Little Tykes Cozy Pumper. The Little Tikes Cozy Pumper is a fun toy gas pump is a perfect match for your Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, Cozy Truck, Cozy Cab, Princess Coupe and many others! Kids will love pretending to stop and fill up. Weatherproof buttons and sounds stimulate interaction. Use it next to your playhouse to create a pretend town. This pretend gas pump can be used indoors or out.

The Playskool Sit N Spin was a toy even I grew up with. The classic Sit 'n Spin toy has all the twirling' fun you grew up with and your child will love to whirl, twirl and spin on it. The toy encourages balance and coordination and now it spins even more easily and smoothly. Turn the wheel to start the fun and watch your child have a ball and stay active.

Another simple, fun toy for toddlers is the Little Tykes First Slide. Nothing says fun like a Little Tikes First Slide! This Little Tikes kids slide is just the right size for your little one. It folds and unfolds in seconds, which makes it easy to store. No tools are required for assembly. The handrails just snap into place and the steps remove without tools for compact storage and moving. Kids can use the slide inside or outside, it just be placed on soft play surface. Weight limit: 60 lbs

Here's another slam dunk for sports fans. The Little Tykes Easy Score Basketball Set makes sports easy and rewarding for growing toddlers. The height can be adjusted to six settings between 2 and 4 feet to accommodate even the littlest hoop star. The oversize rim and kid-size basketball ensure easy scoring and help kids develop hand-eye coordination while providing the right challenge level. Before play, add sand to the base for stability.

Its blend of kitchen and vehicle play keeps mini-entrepreneurs busy—greeting customers, working the register, prepping 'orders' on the light-up grill, and more. And while they're engaged in all that super fun role play, toddlers are also being introduced to sizing and sequencing, advanced vocabulary, manners, taking turns, and more with lively songs, sounds, and phrases! Three Smart Stages levels offer up different songs, sounds, and phrases, so the learning fun can keep going as your child keeps growing.

I almost wish Cocoa Puff were little enough again to have this fun toy. It's the Little Tykes Activity Garden Baby Playset The safe, durable and enclosed environment makes baby feel at home and it transforms without tools into an open, two-sided play center for unlimited play possibilities. The take-along play panel features a bead tumbler, spinner with mirror, spinning “gears” for gear play, clicking bugs, and a large button that when pressed, plays songs. The play panel can be adjusted to sit horizontally for sit-at play. There's also a crawl-through archway, shape-sorter mailbox, working Tap-a-Tune piano, movable, look through telescope, and an open-close window shutters that feature a ball drop flower pot.

The Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Home Playset is the penultimate item on this list. A play house that’s just baby’s size! Explore two sides of play, a crawl-through doorway and busy activities all around. Turn the lights on/off to hear opposites, play at the computer with Sis, sort four shapes, check for mail, and so much more.

Every baby develops at their own pace, and Smart Stages gives you the ability to select the stage that’s best for your child!
