Rubens child dolls

Rubens child dolls are different from so many other dolls, which is why they are so popular with children. The dolls have a realistic look, and are either boys or girls with all the trimmings. They also have different skin tones.

The dolls have a small weight in them, which makes them feel like real babies. Rubens baby dolls are Swedish made and are known to be very safe and suitable for children of all ages. All dolls have names. There are many Ruben Barn dolls to choose from. See a great selection of the popular dolls right here Rubens child dolls here 

 

Dolls and doll carriage

Playing with dolls is a great game for children of almost all ages. It's a fun role play game where children get to imitate what adults are doing. For small children of 2 years old, I would recommend a soft baby doll, without mechanical features. It is best for very young children to use their imagination as much as possible. They can do that with a soft doll. If you are looking for the best doll for your boy or girl, you should read our great article on dolls here: → Find the best doll: list of good dolls

Good toys are outdoor toys: children love to play outside!

Udeleg is a hit for 2 year olds who have mastered walking and running. Children aged 2 are becoming more and more independent, and can do a lot both motorically and linguistically. Here we have chosen to highlight swing sets and trampolines that both develop the child and provide lots of fun. If you're looking for a larger gift that your child can enjoy for years to come, a swing set with a slide is a great gift for a 2-year-old.

Rocking stand with slide

On a swing set, the child can play for hours while strengthening her motor skills. She's sure to love climbing up the slide herself, and enjoying the high speed on the way down. By the age of 2, your child is big enough to sit on a real swing - not a baby swing.

which are good for the very small babies / children.

 

Wooden rocking chair

Shown here is a really good wooden swing set. The swing set is in a really durable design, and is produced in pressure-treated wood that requires a minimum of maintenance.The swing set is produced in Sweden by a manufacturer known for quality products that are of course safety approved and completely free of hazardous substances and harmful chemicals.

Trampoline

Trampolines are incredibly popular for children, and they can be found in many gardens around Denmark. On the trampoline, children strengthen their balance. If you get really good, you can eventually learn more complicated tricks, which make the game even more

challenging.

 

 

See many great trampolines here

For a 2-year-old, however, simply jumping up and down on the trampoline will be enough of a challenge. You can get trampolines in many sizes and qualities. If you have the space, a large Berg trampoline is a great investment. Berg has been manufacturing trampolines for over 30 years and are experts in the field.

Running bike

At the age of 2, the child begins to be stable enough to ride a 2-wheeled treadmill. It is very demanding on balance and a new way of moving.

As the child moves forward on the bike, he has to coordinate his movements, which is healthy for both physical and mental development.

 

Jumping animal / jumping cow

• Retailer: Sundleg
• Price 279 kr.
• Go to store

At the age of 2, it makes motor sense to play on a bouncy animal, or bouncy cow as it is also called. The child is big enough to reach the ground with his feet when sitting on the bouncy castle, and can also climb up and down from the bouncy castle himself. Children love to jump and play in motion, which is why the bouncy castle is a great gift for a 2 year old.

Signboard

A drawing board is one of those smaller gifts that will nevertheless provide hours of fun and creative play. You can draw on the board and erase it again immediately. A drawing board is a great way for the child to be creative, and get better at drawing. At the same time, the board has the advantage that you can't draw on furniture and other things that mum and dad would rather not have coloured in with markers. This nice drawing board has 4 fun stamps, and the drawing can be erased by simply pulling the button on the side. It has a cushion at the back so it's nice to sit on your lap.

A hammerboard is great for strengthening hand-eye coordination and cooperation. The little nails have to be hammered into the board, which is both fun and also makes a lovely sound which is almost certainly a treat for a 2 year old.

Bath toys - make bathing more fun

Taking a shower is not always easy. Certainly not for every 2-year-old. But with some fun bath toys, bath time suddenly becomes more exciting. At Children in Balance, we've found that there are a variety of bath toys to choose from, all suitable for 2 year olds and of course, free from chemicals or other nasty substances. For example, you can buy these fun fish for just £59 that look like they dance when they get in the water. See swimwear here.

Sjove magnets with farm theme

If there's one thing kids love, it's animals. These delicate magnets are sure to be a hit with children aged around 2. They can be used to decorate the fridge, or perhaps put up on your child's own magnet board. Putting them up on the fridge, and taking them down again can certainly go a long way. It's also a great way to learn new words and talk about the animals in the pictures. Buy the cute magnets at Børnenes Kartel here. 

Memory games with fruits and vegetables

A memory game is brilliant for this age. This wooden memory game is filled with nice pictures: The memory game trains the child's memory, recognition skills and of course the opportunity to learn a lot of new words. A 2 year old child cannot play the memory game alone, but can learn a lot from playing it with an adult. Buy the cute memory game here.

Xylophone - music is healthy!

Children love music. It encourages them to dance and move, which naturally develops their motor skills. Singing and playing instruments at the same time gives children the opportunity to learn the rhythms of language, and thus become faster at learning new words and phrases. At the age of 2, language is developing rapidly, and an instrument such as a xylophone is a great gift to give, and a toy that will no doubt be played with a lot. Buy the fine xylophone here. 

Wooden blocks from Design Letters

The beautiful blocks can be played with in a myriad of ways. They can be stacked into a high tower, or laid side by side. The numbers are printed on them, so they're great for learning to count. Children may be able to count to three at first, but learning to count to ten is surprisingly quick. The blocks let children use their imagination, and they're just super cute and good quality. Buy the great blocks here. 

 

A playhouse - with electronic bell and table/bench set

A playhouse in the garden is perfect for 2 year olds and up. The playhouse provides the setting for many hours of play in the garden, and is also ideal for several children to play together. This beautiful plastic playhouse requires almost no maintenance and is easy to assemble. The playhouse quickly becomes a children's sanctuary where play and imagination run wild.

Rocking horse - great toy for 2 year olds

A rocking horse is another of those toys that have been used and loved by children for ages. Playing on a rocking horse imitates riding a real horse, perhaps in the Wild West! Either way, the game is good for motor skills as the sense of balance is exercised as the child rocks back and forth. See the cutest rocking horses right here. 

 

Model Wax

Good toys for a child of 2 years

Children of 2 years old are slowly entering the familiar age of independence. That means she knows what she wants - and, in particular, what she doesn't want. It's therefore a good age to make play part of various practical chores. A toy vacuum cleaner, play kitchen and other things that the child knows from home are good toys for this age. Doll play is often very popular for the 2 year old. Dolls are both boys' and girls' toys. The dolls need to be changed, fed and put to bed.
