By age two, your child’s muscles have developed and they can not only walk but also run, climb, throw and kick! They are fiercely protective of their independence and want to do everything they can on their own. Your two year old is also able to scribble, paint, stack a few blocks and is interested in many more things! They are still developing very quickly, which means that now more than ever, they need your patience and understanding.
Here are some toys I would recommend for that age:
