Toys & Books

It’s no secret that toddlers are little explorers, so why not fuel their curiosity and imagination with a delightful selection of toys and books? As a gift for a 2-year-old, toys and books are a great idea as they can keep little ones entertained while also helping to improve their motor skills. It’s a win-win. Think colourful toys, cuddly plushies and even musical instruments to help encourage hands-on exploration and problem-solving. If they’re already covered for toys, you can never go wrong with the gift of books filled with bright illustrations and exciting stories to help ignite their love for reading and storytelling from an early age.
