Present ideas for 2 year old boy
Toys for energetic 2 year old boys need to be colourful, interesting, hard wearing but above all stimulate the imagination and curiosity that lives within all toddlers. Here we have the best toys for 2 year old boys; a selection of wooden toys, educational toys and active toys.
Best train sets
Thomas Trackmaster
This is a big range; there are several railway tracks available and lots of motorized Tomas and Friends trains to choose from. There are even glow-in-the-dark trains and light up trains.
We like this Blue Mountain track, which is currently £29.99 @ Smyths. Featuring over 40 coloured track pieces, the Blue Mountain Builder Bucket lets children expand their motorized railway by building a variety of individual layouts, or connecting to other TrackMaster toy train sets. This massive collection includes curved and straight track pieces, buffers, directional switches, and risers, so kids can incorporate height and elevation. The bucket acts as storage for track pieces, and the lid can be built into the layouts as a 6-way crossing for TrackMaster motorized toy trains.

Best toy castles
Melissa and Doug Folding Medieval Castle, £79.99 from Amazon
Incredibly detailed, yet sturdy enough to withstand the most vigorous imaginative play, the wood Castle opens up wide to reveal a spacious courtyard, turrets, dungeon, staircases and more! Features extensive hand-painted accents, a working drawbridge and trap door.

Best travel toys for 6-12 months
These toys were selected for being small (for carry-on luggage), high in play-value and reasonably well priced. High chair toys with a suction pad make great travel toys because they can be stuck onto windows and tray-tables.

Polly Pocket returns. But are the re-makes as good as the originals?
Attention nineties kids! Polly Pocket is making a comeback and the compact toys have been given a brand new look.
Old Polly: New Polly:
Best den-building kits
They’ll pull out every blanket they can find in the cupboard – and sometimes the duvets from their beds – to make a house. For a moment you'll enjoy the peace and quiet but it's inevitably followed by tears and tantrums once their little den collapses on top of them. Save yourself that agony with one of these den kits. I've rounded up some of the best on the market:

New Lego Elves kits
Lego Elves is a toy line and its accompanying media franchise that began in 2015. It is part of the company's effort to make the brand more appealing to girls, specifically those between the ages of 8 and 12.

There is a new range exclusively in Argos. Prices between £12.99 and £69.99.
