My kiddo is almost 2 (22 months), and I'm kind of at a loss on what to get him for Xmas. I want to have a large gift from Santa, and then some presents from the parents.

What are some good toys for a 2 year old?

My kiddo loves cars & dogs, and he's very advanced with fine & gross motor skills.

My parents got him a big wheel, which was my idea for a big gift.

Appreciate any suggestions!

What can I do next?

I second the Art easel idea....whiteboard on O. side/chalkboard on the other then they have ones like that that hold a roll of LONG paper so triple duty!

Do you have O. of those collapsible tunnels? My son loved that.

Also Megablocks/Duplo blocks would be good--really ANY blocks!

How about an art easel? Two sided-chalk on one, paper for fingerpainting on the other. My kids loved theirs!

Hmm...I think at 2 is about the time we got the quads for our kids, or a PowerWheels.

Train Table?

Kitchen set?

Lego Table?

Art easel?

I think at this age they don't need big gifts, even though I'm like you and did them anyways.

The Christmas before Isaac turned 2 (he's a January birthday, so he was 23 months) he got one of the Hedstrom spring/bouncy horses (like this http://tinyurl.com/bu329av) NOT something I could have afforded new, but I found one for $35 on Craigslist.

We've had it for 2 years and he still rides it ALL the time! (If you're always yelling at your kid to quit jumping on the bed, bouncing on the couch, etc, riding the horse is the BEST place to redirect them too!)

A wooden Thomas the Train and a handful of tracks. My 2 year old daughter LOVES these. A musical instrument toy - Bontempi makes a great trumpet that my son loved at that age. He also loved his little keyboard (we had a real one that used to be mine. Now at age 7 he still loves this). A toy workbench with tools. A toy vaccume cleaner or toy kitchen with pots and pans. Melissa and Doug make great wood foods that our 2 year old just loves pretending with.
