The best way to find the perfect educational gift for a 2 year old is to find out what developmental milestones most year olds go through.
From there, it can then be very easy to buy the exact learning toy that fits his/her age.
So let's see. Let's have a look at specific developmental milestones and what educational toy to give
1) Recognizing people
2) Scribbling
I loved the aqua doodle mat. The ones you can buy now come with 4 different color pens and you can even opt to get the brush, pens and spill proof cups as well.
3) Pouring things
Any vessel/container you have in the house will do fine with this. But you can also find toys for this purpose like the First Years Stack and Count cups and the munchkin Caterpillar stacking cups.
4) Simple Building skills like stacking one object above another
There are lots of stacking toys nowadays that it is easy to get onefor your child. I recommend the Lego blocks for 2 year olds like the Lego dublo bricks and the Melissa and Doug Jumbo Cardboard blocks.
5) sorting shapes
Shape sorters, shape puzzles. You can also get alphabet and number sorters for more advanced kids.
6) identifying colors
Vtech Spin & learn color flashlight
Melissa & Doug basic skills board
7) Make believe
8) Finding things
9) developing fine motor skills
