Top 10 Toddler Toys - Toys For Ages 1 to 3 Years

The Smart Cycle is a gigantic step above the other TV and video games (or learning systems, if you may have it) available for toddlers today. It makes kids exercise while providing entertainment. So, what is the Smart Cycle, anyway? It's a stationary bike very much like an exer-cycle. Toddlers travel through "learning land" as they practice their alphabets, numbers and other skills.

I certainly recommend this basic, but very essential Mega Bloks 80 piece set for your toddler. The set consists of big building blocks which are easy for little hands to hold. My own toddler loves to play with her Mega Bloks and conjures up all sorts of scenarious with it. Her favorite thing to do is to build a big birthday cake with the blocks and then pretend to cut it while singing Happy Birthday! It's sweet and funny to watch, and a perfect way to keep her busy.

This learning drum as the name suggests, is a great cause and effect toy. Your toddler bangs on the drum and the drum plays music, or recites the alphabet or numbers in response to your baby’s beats. The interactive voice encourages the child to hit the drum and the surface of the drum displays numbers or letters. You can change the settings to ABC, 123, Interactive Song, or Follow the Beat. This is very easy to operate and a good toy to keep your toddler occupied.

This is a classic toddler toy which has been around for years! Toddlers love to push along this toy, and watch the little balls inside the clear plastic dome go pop. This is an excellent toddler toy to develop walking skills, as well as provide good entertainment. It's a great deal for the price. Simple and sturdy wins the day!

This wonderful toddler toy features a set of interactive magnets in the shape of alphabets and a magnetic letter reader, all of which attach to your fridge. It teaches kids the letters, phonics and sings an alphabet song. It is a great way to keep your toddlers busy while at the same time teach them their ABC’s. Kids don’t feel like they are learning, but rather playing. Educational and fun at the same time.

This wonderful toddler toy consists of musical blocks along with a unit and changeable cartridges. The blocks have to be inserted into the unit to play the musical piece. Toddlers will have a great time trying out the various combinations that are possible by turning the blocks around and changing the position of the blocks to get variations of the music.

The travel version of the very popular Aquadoodle is convenient and handy. Perfect for car trips, trips to a friend's house or even at home, the travel sized Aquadoodle offers lots of possibilities for young artists. A wonderful toddler toy.

Exceptional quality, vibrant colors, and lots of potential for using one's imagination - that's what makes up this beautiful set of wooden blocks from Haba. Kids will really love to experiment with building up towers, castles and stackable structures with these adorable blocks. These blocks from Haba are decorated with animals like tigers, teddy bears, and snakes as well as smiling faces and other whimsical designs. The blocks are made of beech wood, and painted with lead-free kid safe paint, with some acrylic and foil on a few blocks.

This wonderful DVD for toddlers features lots of playful puppets with names like Ivy Eyes, Harry Hand, Nusi Nose, Mojo Mouth and Ana Ear! Each puppet represents one of the 5 senses - sight, touch, smell, taste and sound. This video is very educational and refreshingly different. Your toddler will love to dance to the catchy background music and interact with the puppets.

These unique wooden cars with a twist are certainly in a class of their own. The cars come with interchangeable wheels and body parts, and they offer endless possibilities for toddlers and their parents both to play with and build with. I recently tried out the Automoblox and I was totally and completely enthralled with them. Full marks to Automoblox for quality, finishing, attention to details and entertainment value. Collectors, you will love them too.
