My niece is almost 2.5. She's really into her baby doll right now so we're getting her some Velcro closure clothes that are easy to get on/off the doll. I'm sewing her a little set of doll sized cloth diapers too. She has a new sibling about to be born any day now and I think it's going to be a hard transition not being mummy's center of attention anymore. Hopefully she can take care of her doll the way mommy takes care of new baby.
I also got her one of those pin art things, where it has all the plastic pins you press your hand into to make an impression. Apparently it's a good sensory thing for toddlers. They have a big huge one at the museum here that she loves. The ones on Amazon are pretty small. Hopefully she'll still like it.

DS turns 2 just after Christmas. I just bought 2 of these to go with his bday stuff. I got the Dino and the farm animal ones. I had a hard time finding things I think he'll like too.
I feel like my kid is broken He never wants to play with his indoor toys so I have no motivation to go all out this year for Christmas. He's almost 2 and so far I've only bought a few little things and got a few hand me down toy trucks and wagons from a friend. I know the grandparents won't let him go without.
My 2 y.o. DS is getting a Thomas train set and a bunch of Thomas books, the Paw Patrol Aquadoodle mat, and some Lego Duplos. I also got all three kids personalized beach towels.
What else? He loves balls and anything with wheels but also loves books, especially ones with his favorite characters. He loves his Thomas "Me Reader" that he got for his first birthday. He likes drawing on the portable easel we have and barely touches the big easel, while my girls were the opposite. He plays with the Little People farm and airplane a lot; we also have the superhero and princess figures. He got a Mr. Potato Head set for his second birthday and likes it fine but my 5 y.o. actually plays with it more. We have a lot of the B. toys – parum pum pum drum, meowsic keyboard, woofer guitar, fish and splish boat for the bath – all get played with regularly.
He is obsessed with all of his outdoor riding toys – wagon, trike, buggy, Micro 3-in-1 scooter. We got him a balance bike for his birthday but he doesn't have the hang of it yet. We have two princess Power Wheels that he loves; I always wanted to get a bigger two-seater powered car but couldn't justify it once MIL got us those when my girls were younger.
My girls were big into their play kitchen when they were two. Do you have a tea set? What about a shopping cart to go with the cash register? DS loves to push and ride anything and everything so he likes that more than the kitchen itself. Oh, and all three of my kids love their kid broom and dustpan set. Now my girls use it to sweep up their real messes!
We have her second bday next week then Christmas. Between the two she's getting
Shopping cart She's getting a set of cars from Costco. She loves her big brothers' cars and was really excited about these Doll cradle & high chair Books clothes, pjs Bilibo seat (someone here loved theirs) Smart max Magnet set
She loves DS's hot wheels race track and Thomas trains.
My nephew is 2. I was going to get him some Fisher Price pond to go with his barn, but since his family will be moving out of state I know they don't need more toys. So I'm getting him and his 5 year old sister Angels hoodies.
