Any great suggestions? Open to larger items (trucks, t-ball and golf set) as well as small stuff (already have playdough and books on there).

That said, DS just turned two and his current obsessions are:<br /> plasma car<br /> play kitchen<br /> playmobil recycling/garbage truck<br /> M&amp;D cleaning supplies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-2-year-olds#post-2629883 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 09:23:52 +0000 psw27 2629883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is obsessed with the Little People school bus (and airplane... and barn), Mega Blocks and lots of books.

And my two year old is SUPER into his Duplo Legos- there are many fun small 'sets', including a spaceship (my kid's favorite which kept him occupied for a solid week of car rides!). More interactive books (press here), and smaller toys they can carry - My little pony's, small trucks, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-gift-for-2-year-olds#post-2629852 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 08:52:57 +0000 KayKay 2629852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Strider bike or a three-wheeled scooter</p> <p>ETA: i suppose those are big things!

In terms of "instruments", she also likes her toy piano and toy xylophone (although this was more a hit when she was younger). The parum drum was actually a dud for us but I know most kids like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-year-old-gift-music-themed#post-2504026 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 08:45:32 +0000 Smurfette 2504026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The B drum set is still a hit at 3 for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-year-old-gift-music-themed#post-2504025 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 08:43:56 +0000 littlebug 2504025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little Hape ukelele.

She's just starting to get more into the dollhouse she got for Christmas. Oh and her trampoline (which is currently inside). </p>
