Terrific Twos: Best Toy and Gift Ideas for 2 Year old Girls

Top 30 Best Toys and Gift Ideas for 2 Year-Old-Girls in 2023

1. Best Overall Gift: VTech Touch and Learn Activity Desk Deluxe

This is a cute interactive desk with five activity pages that your daughter can explore, and enjoy the engaging content. The desk comes with a small stool to sit on and the desk can be transformed into a chalkboard and an easel. It also has a storage space where the little girl can store her art supplies, so she can play as she discovers. There are also fun tunes and a toy telephone, so your kid will have fun playing pretend. Keep in mind that it runs through batteries pretty quick, and doesn’t come with any.

Along with the desk, you can get her expansion packs that include a curriculum that teaches how to draw various shapes, numbers, and letters, as well as a fun “When I Grow Up” game, all in LED display illustrations.

2. Best Premium Gift: The Piki Piki Bike

The Piki Piki Bike is a great first tricycle for girls to begin learning how to ride and improve their gross motor skills. Instead of peddles, girls push along the ground to get going as they learn how to coordinate their balance and steer. The bright pink color is perfect, and it looks like a motorcycle that’s just their size.

The wheels are made of hard plastic, which means the trike can be loud or feel more cumbersome than if they were rubber but this doesn’t stop the Piki Piki from being a fun way for girls to get moving on their first trike.

3. Best Budget Gift: Little Cosmetics Pretend Makeup Signature Set

If she loves watching you apply your makeup, get her this signature set and you can “apply” together. Because the makeup is pretend it doesn’t actually go on her skin, but she will still have fun playing with the brushes.

It’s a good way for her to exercise her imagination and creativity. It’s also mess-free because nothing really comes off and she gets all she needs to “apply” the various makeup plus a shatterproof mirror and a pretty cosmetic bag. The lipgloss is a bit tough to open, but that won’t stop her from having a great time with everything in the kit.

4. Step 2 Best Chef’s Toy Kitchen Playset

This 25-piece kitchen playset is perfect for a 2-year-old girl, especially at this age, when they love to roleplay. Girls will enjoy pretending to cook on this kitchen set. It has an attractive design with a fresh color scheme that both the parents and little girls will love. This set will teach your little girl interactive and social skills by working in the kitchen.

The Best Chef kitchen features an electric stove burner with realistic cooking sounds and fun burner lights. The clicking knobs on the stovetop make it even more realistic. There is plenty of storage space that includes hooks for hanging utensils and cups, and a recycle bin. Your girl will love the working oven, refrigerator door, counter space, and a pass-through kitchen window.

There aren’t a ton of extra accessories, so if you want to really make your little girl’s day you might want to consider combining it with a set of pretend food.

5. BRIO My First Railway Beginner Pack

Suitable for ages 18 months and up, the BRIO Railway starter pack is a gift your little girl will like. She will enjoy pushing the train either over or under the rainbow-colored suspension bridge while exploring the different layouts she could build. Made from FSC certified solid beech wood, the train pieces are safe and durable, but some of the plastic parts aren’t quite as nice.

This first set features an ascending wooden track for trains to go up and down, a colorful bridge, and a wagon that makes interesting noises. The set comes with one train, one rattle train car, four ramps, one tunnel, eight curves, two ascending tracks, and one connecting track. It has a bright green and red finish that will help improve hand-eye coordination.

6. Dress Up America Little Girl’s My First Purse

Dress Up America Little Girl’s My First Purse is an adorable pretend play purse set for little girls. If she loves carrying your purses around or just going through its contents to see what mom is carrying, get her this set, and she will love it. It comes with various accessories including car keys, a credit card, and toy lipstick to make her feel like a little lady.

The purse itself is perfectly sized for little hands, and the included flip phone has blinking buttons, and makes sounds when pressed—so be sure to get batteries, as they’re not included. Everything in the set is made from non-toxic materials.

7. Disney Moana 14” Adventure Doll

Here is a high-quality doll that your little girl will love because who doesn’t like Moana? There is great attention to detail, and it looks so realistic. They will love the light-up heart because it looks so real and it comes with batteries, though they cannot be replaced.

The doll has all the accessories that Moana from the film wears, and they are of high-quality. She also has a wear and share hair clip that girls can “borrow” and wear. If you are taking your baby for an ocean adventure soon, get them this doll, and they will have the perfect company of the adventurous Moana.

8. Think Fun Roll & Play Game

This is a fun toy game for both the parents and the baby girl. It creates a fun way of bonding with her. Included is a large plush cube and 48 cards for hours and hours of fun and learning. It’s a very engaging and enjoyable game pack, and it also comes with a storage packet to store all the cards once you’re done playing—which you’ll want to do, because there are a lot of small parts for little kids to lose.

You will also get a parent’s guide to help you through if you have not used one before, but it’s very easy to learn even for the little one. With this game, your little one will develop their gross motor skills, play actively, and also boost their creativity.

9. Fox Print Princess Castle Play Tent w/ Glow in the Dark Stars

With this princess castle play tent, girls can be imaginative and also very creative. This will be her own little space where she can role play and pretend. Outdoor trips will be more enjoyable with this glow-in-the-dark tent, and it’s very portable.

The shock-corded fiberglass poles are very sturdy so you won’t be worried about her safety when in there. And, the best part is that you won’t be assembling it or have to buy any extra accessories, as it comes ready for use. Cleaning it is a breeze, and all you need is a damp cloth and some soap. She can use it indoors or outdoors, though it takes up quite a bit of space, so most people will probably want to leave it outside the house.

10. LeapFrog Musical Rainbow Tea Set

All little girls love tea parties, and this set will spice everything up for them. The teapot features seven tea-time songs plus six magical colors, so it creates a really lively atmosphere.

It’s great for teaching your little one colors, matching, counting, manners, and much more. It’s a perfect toy for pretend play (it doesn’t actually hold any tea), and it’s also great for teaching children about sharing.

11. HABA Rainbow Whirls Pegging Game

The game is made from German beechwood into colored rings and pegs. It is a game your little girl will enjoy. The game is brightly colored using multiple layers of water-based and solvent-free lacquers. This makes the surfaces resistant to wear and tear and safe for the child even if they put it in their mouth.

The child can stack the rings up the pegs or arrange them according to color combinations. Most will find its difficulty to be well-balanced, but it might be frustratingly difficult for some kids.

This game was the winner of several prestigious awards: Creative Child Magazine Game of the Year, Dr. Toy Best Vacation Products, and the National Parenting Seal of Approval in 2011. Children can enjoy hours of free play given that the colored rings and pegs offer a variety of plug-ins.

12. Little Tikes First Slide

The Little Tikes First Slide is an excellent gift for your little kids since they love to slide. It is perfect, especially for young children. Its compact size allows it to be used both indoors and outdoors as long as the surface is soft. It’s not quite as much of a blast as a full-size playground slide, but little girls will love having a slide close to home.

It saves on storage space since it folds easily, and does not require any tools for assembly. The handrails simply snap into place. This slide promotes fitness, balance, and coordination.

13. B. Toys Hooty-Hoo Shape Sorter

Toys Hooty-Hoo Shape Sorter is a fun puzzle toy that teaches beginning logic and reasoning and boosts fine motor skills. It features 3 different shaped blocks with cute owls on top that must be dropped in their corresponding holes on the puzzle. After they’re dropped, girls can watch them slide down the clear tubes and hear them make a fun “hoot” sound.

The owls on the blocks make it easier for small hands to grasp, and reaching for them improves hand-eye coordination.

The puzzle itself is made to roll across floors and little girls will love pushing it around a room. Girls may get frustrated when the owls sometimes get stuck in the tubes and require adult assistance to retrieve.

14. Melissa & Doug Cutie Pie Butterfly Camp Chair

Girls love having little pieces of furniture that is just their size and the Melissa & Doug Butterfly Camp Chair is both cute and portable. It folds up into the perfect size for toting along to campsites, picnics, and even parades. When not in use it stows away in a small carrying bag.

Girls will like that they have their own cup-holder, but the small size means it can’t always hold average, adult-sized drinks or water bottles. Parents love that it’s safe and easy to wipe down and keep clean.

15. Moluk Bilibo Blue

With this Bilibo, your little girl will enjoy both indoor and outdoor playing and as she comes up with different ways of playing with it, she will be more creative and imaginative. It is made of very sturdy and non-toxic polyethylene in various colors, so it’s suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. The lone drawback is the price—it’s not too much for what you get, but it’s not cheap.

16. Melissa & Doug Let's Play House Dust! Sweep! Mop! 6-Piece Pretend Play Set

This is a six-piece play set that gives kids all the housekeeping tools they need to keep spaces clean. The six pieces include a broom, mop, duster, dustpan, brush, and a storage stand. Sized perfectly for kids, the set is comfortable to use and easy to store by just hanging each from the sturdy cords onto the included stand for neat, compact storage.

This set encourages children to imagine and be creative, but they should be careful when doing it on hardwood floors: the bottom of the mop has been known to scrape flooring.

17. Fisher-Price Loving Family Dollhouse

The Loving Family Dollhouse from Fisher-Price is an adorable 4 story house that keeps little girls occupied for hours in imaginative and role play. The house comes with 3 dolls, a Mom, Dad, and Baby and two pieces of furniture, a baby seat, and a sofa, and when not in use parts of the structure fold in to take up less space. Girls will love the working doorbell and moveable porch swing.

Extra furniture must be purchased separately, so it is a little expensive for what it includes. The detailed design work, like trim, molding, and art on the walls, gives the house a more realistic feel.

18. LeapFrog Shapes & Sharing Picnic Basket

If your little girl loves pretend play, then this picnic basket will suit her perfectly. It features toys in various shapes and colors and is also great for teaching the sharing concept. It’s also great for helping her improve on her motor skills because she will be sorting, stacking, matching, filling, and emptying the basket.

Everything goes back in the basket once she is done playing and she can lift its lid to listen to some fun sound effects and music. The six food pieces are designed in various shapes and colors—but keep in mind that the cups have holes in the bottom, so you might make a mess if you try to use them.

19. BETTERLINE Finger Puppet Set (20-piece)

Storytelling will be more fun with this finger puppet set. Included are 20 pieces of high-quality finger puppet plush toys that also make roleplaying more enjoyable. They’re small, so although they’re safe for most toddlers, babies should be supervised while they play. They spark your little one’s imagination as children have fun naming and “talking” to each member of the family and the various animals.

The set has a total of 14 animals, and it makes it very easy to introduce your little one to various animals and their names. The finger puppets also encourage imaginative play, they make great birthday party favors, and can also be used for teaching sign language or second languages.

20. AquaDoodle Travel Doodle

It’s at this age that little ones love doodling on just any surface if unsupervised. Thanks to this doodle mat, they can enjoy doodling, but not on your house walls, coach or car seats. It’s perfectly designed for mess-free doodling, and all you need is to add a little water, and they will enjoy using it.

It’s also very soft and portable and can be used even by younger or older kids for drawing. It would be nice if the mat’s back was hard, but kids still manage to draw on it fine. And, you can use it with any other Aquadoodle products, like pens and other accessories.

21. VTech Little Apps Tablet

This tablet toy for kids makes it easy to teach your child number order, letters, counting, and matching. It’s a great educational toy with twelve learning activities and has progressive learning levels, so they can continue using it as they grow. It also has a calendar, and a pretend camera and a piano. If anything, the number of apps might be a bit overwhelming—but most kids grow to love it over time.

It’s feature-packed to keep girls engaged in one compact toy. It’s also a very parent-friendly toy tablet as it features an automatic shut-off, saving the batteries when not in use plus the batteries are included for a demo, and volume control to set the most comfortable volume for both you and children.

22. Fisher-Price Learn-to-Flush Potty

Learning to use the potty is fun and whimsical with Fisher-Price’s Learn-to-Flush Potty. It’s designed to look like a friendly cartoon version of a grown-up potty and even has a handle to flush. When girls “flush” the potty it makes satisfying flushing sounds, sings songs, lights up, and even has a “twirling” water action which encourages healthy bathroom habits.

The flushing sounds of the Learn-to-Flush Potty can be randomly triggered on their own, which some families may find annoying. Girls will feel secure with the handles on the sides, and when they’re ready the top lifts off to be used as a regular potty seat on an adult toilet. Parents appreciate the removable, easy-clean bowl.

23. Little Tikes Spiralin’ Seas Waterpark Play Table

Little ones love playing with water, and when the weather is right, there is no harm in letting them have a little fun. This toy set makes water play more fun and also boosts babies’ motor skills because they get to play with the included fun characters. They will enjoy dropping the included balls down the spiral then watch them down to the water. They will also love filling up the included cup with water then pouring it into the funnel which powers the play table’s twin water wheel.

It’s fairly easy to assemble, but you’ll have to put it together for your kids. It’s a pretty fun toy set for any 2-year old, and it’s not only sturdy and stable but durable as well. Girls will also enjoy using the character balls as squirt balls for more outdoor water fun.

24. VTech Doc McStuffins Talk & Trace Clipboard

For boosting imagination and hand coordination, this is a perfect toy for a 2-year old. First, the size is right for little hands, and it features so much to capture their attention and keep them busy for a long time.

It’s also designed to teach the letters, writing skills, health topics, and numbers. She will love the magnetic drawing board as she can doodle on it as much as she wants, and you will be less worried about her doodling on your seats or walls.

One thing to love about this toy is that it has characters that engage and encourage as she plays and learns. This makes it more interesting, and she will enjoy using it more. It can even be enjoyed by kids aged between 2-5 years, so it will be useful for a long time.

Unfortunately, the volume isn’t adjustable, and parents might not like hearing the voice of Doc McStuffins as often as kids will.

25. Green Toys Dump Truck

Playing with this BPA-free dump truck will help improve their fine and gross motor skills while also keeping them active. The truck also features a dumper so the little girl can get a little creative while using it and it’s also a great way of boosting her imagination.

It’s also very durable and safe for use by babies. It is a bit smaller than you might expect, but we don’t anticipate little kids having a problem with that.

26. Melissa & Doug Wooden Building Blocks Set

This set of 100 wooden building blocks will keep your little one entranced for hours. They come in four colors and nine different shapes so along with building, she will be learning colors and shapes. It’s a really nice toy to use with her as you can build various structures together and it also stirs up her imagination and creativity as she comes up with various designs.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a storage container, so you’ll need to use something to keep the many pieces together.

27. Manhattan Toy Baby Stella

Baby Stella from Manhattan Toy is a very cuddly baby doll with a cute embroidered belly button and toes. Your little girl will definitely love her softness and will love carrying her around and even cuddling with her.

The outfit is removable, so your girls will enjoy switching up her outfit and accessories, which helps to teach girls how to dress themselves and encourages independence. The doll also has a magnetic pacifier (though it’s a bit weak, so be careful!) and a removable diaper, making it great for role-playing.

28. Fisher-Price Little People Surprise & Sounds Home

The Fisher-Price Little People Surprise & Sounds Home is a portable playhouse for kids, which teaches kids how to be kind neighbors and caring friends. It allows them to play out what happens in our households and neighborhoods. It unfortunately only comes in one color, so I hope you like pink!

It’s feature-packed to make it look like a real home, but the good thing is that everything fits inside perfectly so even when you want to take it with you all you do is grab the handle and off you go. Your little one will even be able to listen to the weather report, hear an alarm clock, flush the toilet, open the fridge, and more. With all these features, girls will be more creative and imaginative and have fun improving their fine motor skills.

29. Step2 Playhouse Neat and Tidy Cottage

The Neat and Tidy Cottage is a very realistic playhouse, and your daughter will love spending time in and around it playing pretend. It has most features that you’ll find in a real house such as a mailbox and a doorbell, a kitchen table, a built-in seat, stove, faucet, and more. The “Dutch” door works perfectly and also has shutters, so it feels like a real house. It is made of high-quality plastic material, and it’s spacious enough to host several kids at a time.

The design is also pretty open, and you can keep an eye on what the kids are doing in there without getting too close. It also has a molded-in floor with drain holes so there will be no standing water after the kids are done playing or when it rains—though you should still move it around fairly often, otherwise it might hurt the grass.

30. Play-Doh Burger Barbecue Toy

You will enjoy watching your little one make hotdogs and hamburgers and serving you. It’s the perfect toy set for pretend play, aside from the fact that the containers are pretty small: but you can always buy more!
