The Best Toys For A 2 Year Old Girl (Review) in 2023

By the time your little girl reaches two-years-old they will be ready for toys that are going to start challenging a range of skills including problem-solving, imagination, creativity, numeracy and ABC learning.

If your little girl is attending nursery then the chances are, they are already starting to develop these key skills, if not or additionally, there are a range of toys which can help promote their development and learning.

My best toys for two-year-old girls have been chosen for both development and fun factors; meaning they are entertaining for your little one while promoting educational and/ or physical growth.

What to look for when buying toys for a 2 year old girl?

Imagination Toys – The world of imagination is an amazing thing, and your little girl should be encouraged to pretend and play to develop this.

The benefits of imaginative play include developing communication, confidence, language skills, increased intellectual growth and development of social skills. There are a huge range of pretend toys available to support pretend play, my favourites which I have included above are the LeapFrog Count Along Till, Vtech Cosy Kitten Carrier and Jaques of London Wooden Play Food Set.

As your little girl acts out nurturing and feeding a kitten, buying shopping or cooking dinner they will gain further understanding of the world around them and how they put themselves across in the world.

Development Toys – If you can find a toy that is both engaging and educational for your little girl, then you have a big win! The best educational toys mean your child will be playing and learning without realising it.

I have included a variety of toys for your two-year-old girl’s development depending on the areas you want to focus on and what they will enjoy playing with. Ride on toys are great for developing strength, balance and confidence.

The Doodle Mat is a simple and tidy way to develop creativity as well as fine-motor skills required for writing. Other educational factors to consider in a toy are numeracy and literacy skills.

Musical toys – Musical toys are encouraged for toddlers as they help with sensory development. It is thought that two-year-olds who are exposed to music present better in listening, reading language development and speaking skills.

Musical toys are also a fun way to engage your two-year-old girl, so they interact and play with a toy for longer. Musical toys which encourage movement and dancing are a great way to enhance their well-being both mentally and physically.

The AivaToba Toys Musical Piano Playmat is an example of a musical toy which is great to develop gross motor skills as your child uses their body to make the musical sounds.

Conclusion

My top eight toys for a two-year-old girl have not been chosen lightly. I have put a lot of consideration into narrowing the best toys which are both entertaining and promote the development of key skills for your little girl.

I was really excited when I came across the LeapFrog Learning Friends 100 Words Book, as I think this is a fantastic tool for introducing your toddler to another language. The Birtech Balance Bike was another favourite as we love to be outdoors, and this toy developed a range of physical skills.

I have provided a great selection above to make your search for a toy easier.
