1 to 2 years
The best toys for 1 to 2-year-old kids provide a wide range of possibilities for manipulative, hands-on play. Kids of this age might be able to stack, fit, and twist smaller pieces in more accurate ways using their fine motor skills.

Playing basic games and playing with age-appropriate toys like the ones listed below with them can help them develop their sharing and turn-taking skills.
