At 2 years old, the baby continues to develop rapidly.

The interests of a two-year-old baby are expanding significantly, so it will not be difficult to choose a gift for him. However, do not forget about a few important nuances.
- Material safety, from which the present is made - an unshakable rule for choosing children's gifts. The toy or set should not emit a strong chemical smell, the paint should be of high quality and should not be erased directly in the hands.
- Workmanship... Small details (nose, eyes, etc.)should be well fixed on the toy, there should be no protruding seams, sharp edges. If it is a soft toy, do not be lazy to check how it is sewn.
- Constructors and other setscontaining small details should be postponed until a more conscious age. No matter how developed the child is, cognition of the world through the mouth is still relevant for him, so the present will definitely be tasted.
- Aesthetic component. Appearance is very important: you should choose cute, not repulsive, not distorted (like Monster High or Peppa's pig), realistic toys. The expression of the eyes is also important - let the baby be surrounded by benevolent heroes.

Kids love sweets very much, so it is recommended to add a tasty addition to the gift: juice, marshmallow, natural sweets and lollipops.
