Buying gifts for the tiny human in your life can be a challenge. Though they may be small, toddlers have big opinions and know exactly what they want (and don’t want).

One thing about toddlers: they don’t hold back, which is why we love them! Whether it’s trying new foods (which usually end up all over the highchair) or unwrapping presents, you’ll know right away if it’s a hit… or not. 

With Christmas just around the corner, we’ve put together our top gift ideas for the adorably opinionated little ones, curated by parents who’ve been there and toddler-approved. From creative play accessories to timeless classics and out-of-the-box ideas, there’s something for every kind of kid. 

Happy shopping as you browse our edit of the best gifts for toddlers this Christmas.
