Whether you’re searching for birthday gifts for your own kids or are attending a birthday party or holiday for kiddos, I have the best birthday gifts for toddlers to make your search easy peasy.

My daughters both have birthdays in January after they’ve been spoiled during Christmas, so even though we don’t go crazy overboard with gifts and “stuff” in general, I was struggling to come up with what to get – but this is a list of our favorites and other parent and kid-approved favorites.

When kids have lots of, or every, toy out there, this budget-friendly list will bring endless fun, education, or entertainment.

Kitchen accessories

I bought this microwave for my nephew for Christmas, and he not only refused to open and play with any toys after, but he’s so attached to it that he blow it a kiss and says good night to it before bed. I’m just saying…best toy ever.
