As the years go by, stocking fillers for toddlers become
more sophisticated, especially as electronic toys for this age group become
more and more popular and the technology keeps on improving. Most electronic
toys are geared towards older children but there are some that are designed
specifically for the toddler age group – say from 12 - 18months, 2 to
3 year olds.
There are simple push button toys which light up in a range
of colours or make funny noises – educational or otherwise. V-tech make whole
ranges of simple electronic toys for baby age groups upwards. Some of the simplest and most popular are Sing Along Microphone
, pretend phones and play cameras. VTech Splash and Count Penguin is great fun at bathtime.

Another popular type of electronic toy
that many kids may
find in their stocking or present selection, is a talking toy. There are some that are directly relevant to
this younger toddler age group. They say
simple words or phrases that delight the younger audience. Fans of the TV show ‘Something Special’
would probably love a talking huggable loveable Mr Tumble toy. If you are not interested in electronic soft
toys, how about a traditional soft toy? Usually,
you cannot go wrong with one of those, although some, longer-haired versions
indicate that these are not suitable for the under 3s. There are also many
suitable toddler stocking fillers that
are small, simple cheap and have no need of any battery. Notoriously, toddlers can also be more
interested in the wrapping and packaging of a toy than the actual item itself!

Computers are everywhere.
There are many toy computers now for the baby and toddler age group.
Parents increasingly are looking for educational toys for their youngest children. Simple push button talking computer toys can
be really engaging for toddlers with their flashing lights and simple clear
sounds. Speech sounds, letters and pictures can be linked. Music can be
downloaded, learning games can be played.
Leapfrog and Vtech both make these sort of bay and toddler toys.
