OPEN-ENDED TOYS FOR TODDLERS | Top toys for open ended, creative play for a two year old

In today’s video I share my favourite open-ended toys for toddlers, specifically the toys that are working really well for open-ended, creative and imaginative play with my two-year old. Open-ended toys encourage the child to actively play and grow with them as they grow up as there are endless ways to use and play with them!
You can hear me talk about each toys at the times below and I have linked the products I can in case you are interested in getting something similar for your little one.
Thanks so much for watching!

I truly believe that open-ended toys lead to amazing creativity, imagination and an ability for children to entertain themselves without getting easily 'bored'! What are your favourite open-ended toys for your little ones?

[@jakobbourne6381]

*personalised childrens books* make for great gifts to your kids - something out of the norm than toys and gadgets and to contribute to their learning at a more engaging experience

[@rachaeldoherty4060]

These are all great ideas - Ben has an amazing imagination!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Thanks Rachael. His imagination is hilarious! 😂

[@cuddlepotbootcamp]

Love all of these! My kiddos love the wobble board! It's great for physical activity as well as imaginative play 😊 Thanks for sharing 👍

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Absolutely! I am so thankful for things like our wobble board and Pikler during the pandemic. Lots of opportunity to use energy! Thanks so much for watching and your lovely comment as always!

[@cuddlepotbootcamp]

@@BairnandaBackpack yeap, so true 😊

[@myreggioinspiredhome]

Loved this video! I have saved a few of these options for when Samuel gets more into this kind of play 😊💕

[@BairnandaBackpack]

So lovely to hear it gave a few ideas. Imaginative play is definitely Ben's 'thing' at the moment - today he was running about with a whisk, calling it a hot air balloon and putting pompom people into it. Haha! Hope your pregnancy is going well Abigail and you're all OK in lockdown (again)!

[@byetaylor]

These are all so fun!! Love it 🥰

[@BairnandaBackpack]

So glad the video was useful! 😁

[@zoecrosland8920]

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Thanks Zoe. So glad they are giving some inspiration. ❤️

[@clarkandmama4894]

This is an awesome video Kara! So informative and I really enjoyed seeing Ben put his open ended toys to good use ;)

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Aww, thanks so much for your sweet comment. It's amazing to see how this type of toy is the biggest hit! I hope you and Clark are well! ❤️

I think magnetic tiles are on the top of our list for Cy's 3rd birthday. I'll just have to see if we can actually find them locally...We have the same set of nuts and bolts and different pieces like that, and both boys love them! That wobble board looks really fun!

[@BairnandaBackpack]

I 100% recommend the magnetic tiles Rachel. They have been the biggest hit! Thanks so much for watching!

[@conornisbet1264]

Great video 👏

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Thank you! I think I love toys as much as Ben does.

[@ClaireIona]

Your videos are always so educational! We love the playmags to they are very satisfying to clean up hehe! Random bits of wood are great same, I loved Leo’s treasure basket when he first start sitting up he would sit there for ages 😁 The stacking rainbows are wonderful 😍 I love the circles they look really lovely. Leo’s birthday is coming up next month taking some notes 😊 Great video loved watching as always ❤️

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Thanks Claire. Glad it gave a few ideas. Aww, will Leo be 3 already? He's growing up so fast!

[@lollypoplolly72]

Love this video! Is there a link to the hexagon puzzle? Thanks

[@BairnandaBackpack]

Hey Laura. I got it in the Lidl toy event and I can't seem to find anything online which is quite as good unfortunately. They bring around the same toys a few times a year so it may be worth keeping an eye out! ❤️

[@lollypoplolly72]

Thank you so much, I’ll keep an eye out.
