Top 10 Gifts for 2-3 Year Olds for Children's Day – Examples Under $30
Children's Books Make the Best Gift for Young Kids
Reading books with your child is a wonderful way to spend time together while also helping to develop their imagination and language skills. Children aged 2-3 love books with colorful illustrations and simple, understandable stories. Choose books that encourage interaction and play, such as books with flaps or cutouts.
PUCIO, the Little Ones' Hero
For years now, Pucio has been a deservedly popular hit. Short words and stories with simple words that a child encounters daily. Finally, a book that doesn't teach words like elephant, giraffe, and anise 😉
Pucio, Misia, and Bobo are a charming trio of siblings who lead interesting everyday lives. They accompany their mom on shopping trips, go to the pool, and celebrate birthdays.
The book's thick pages are a huge advantage, ensuring it withstands hours of enjoyable reading. For Pucio fans, there are also plush toys and educational games available. It's worth mentioning that the author is a speech therapist (Dr. Marta Galewska-Kustra). We highly recommend Pucio; it's a staple in our evening reading routine.
Small books can be bought for as little as $4, while larger ones cost $8-$11.
“Pucio Becomes a Chef” can be purchased HERE at a good price.
“Pucio in the City” can be purchased HERE
The Biggest Global Hits for Kids
On our home podium, right behind Pucio, are global hits like Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol.
This opens up a vast sea of gift possibilities. Books, plush toys, puzzles, blankets, bottles, everything! 😉 Over time, everyone in the household grows to love the pig, although it's still hard for me to understand why a pig and its friends, like a giraffe, go to the zoo to see turtles…

Paw Patrol-themed toys can be found HERE
Learning English for a 2-year-old?
Yes! It's a great time to introduce English words and get familiar with the language.
Books in this language with simple words and nice pictures will surely help.

Best Creative and Manual Sets for Young Kids
Painting, drawing, or cutting are excellent ways to develop a child's creativity and imagination. Creative sets like crayons, paints, clay, or cutting kits make great gifts for young children. They allow kids to develop their artistic skills and creativity.
Finger Painting
The first masterpieces your little one will create will be everywhere, especially on the little artist's hands.
It's good to accept this fact early and equip your child with paints that easily stain their fingers.

Sticker Books for Kids
The possibilities are endless, really! From books with a few stickers to albums where kids will find a thousand stickers. Pay attention to the size and thickness of the stickers; for younger children, raised ones that can be reapplied multiple times are better.
A nice farm-themed set can be purchased HERE
Clay and Play-Doh
While we're on the subject of art and creations, we must mention clay and popular modeling compounds. Once again, we have the beloved Peppa Pig with a set (yes, I said Peppa is everywhere 😉)
This gift is recommended by the manufacturer for 3-year-olds and can be purchased HERE.
Interactive Toys Make Great Gifts for Toddlers
Children at this age love to explore the world through interaction with objects. Toys that make sounds, talk, or react to touch help develop a child's senses and stimulate their brain. However… unless you're buying a toy for your own child, it's a challenging and slightly risky choice.
There are several popular toys on the market that most kids have (e.g., PUPPY), which are great, but it's worth checking if the child already has it.
Many available interactive toys are of poor quality but have turbo-efficient speakers, and more parents are trying to limit such toys, so it's better to agree on the gift with parents or choose a safer option.
A fun way to play with sound is with xylophones or drums, powered by the child's energy, they can provide lots of fun and ignite new passions.

Puzzles
Puzzles are an excellent activity for children that helps develop their observation, logical thinking, and manual skills. For children aged 2-3, puzzles with large, colorful pieces depicting animals or characters from favorite cartoons are best.
A great option is puzzles on a board with outlined shapes, around 15 pieces, and pictures of children's cartoon characters or friendly animals.
You can find such puzzles HERE
A child aged 2-3 will surely be delighted with any gift. The most important thing is spending time together with new activities.
