My Giant Busy Box
My 2.5 year old loves this busy craft box. He will sit for a good hour and play with all of the items in the box, especially the stickers.

Melissa and Doug Jumbo Building Blocks
Building stuff is always a fun activity for toddlers. It encourages creativity and even teaches early concepts of physics. 
To help little hands build, these jumbo sturdy cardboard blocks are perfect.
Little Kid Trampoline with Enclosure
This might seem a bit much, but my son absolutely loves this trampoline. I use mine outside on the patio. I get to sit outside and work while my son gets to have fun (and burn some energy!). If you have a large indoor space, it’d work well there, too. It has a door that zips closed for safety as well.
Play-doh FUNdamentals Box
Play-doh is a great way to keep your toddler entertained. I love this fundamentals box because it has the play-doh, play mats, and most importantly, the play-doh squeezer (not sure if that’s official but it makes sense to me). My son loves this and will play quite well with this. 
Crayola My First Doodle Board
If your toddler is into art, this is a fun, mess free option. My son is fascinated with this doodle board and loves “drawing” me pictures on it.
Kids Dyson Vacuum
If you can work with some noise, this is a great option. Like most toddlers, my son is fascinated by the noise of the vacuum. This kids Dyson has two levels of noise, the little plastic pieces in the canister swirl around to simulate a real vacuum, and while it “works”, it will only pick up fuzz balls or very light weight items.
Toddler Racer Car
This is fun to watch my toddler figure out. It requires hand eye coordination and problem solving as they try to get the car to move in the direction they want using the controller.
Think & Learn Rocktopus
This one is on the wish list because it looks so much fun. Coordinating commands and making music are perfect for keeping your toddler busy and entertained for a bit.
Ride on Police Motorcycle
Being able to navigate and ride around the house has kept my son busy many times. This little rechargeable motorcycle is controlled by a push pedal and using the handle bars to turn. The light works and has a siren for an added bonus.
Amazon FreeTime Unlimited
In a world dominated by technology, I think its important that our kids learn how to use technology.
With that technology comes so many learning opportunities!
It really gives me piece of mind that he is using tech but getting so much good out of it.
My son has learned so much from the shows on Amazon like SuperWhy that teaches problem solving , reading and writing as well as Daniel Tiger which teaches a lot about manners, social etiquette and conflict resolution.
Honestly, it seems to get through to my son better when he can see it acted out with his favorite characters instead of me trying to explain it to him.

I’d love to hear them.
We’ve had several of the Alex craft kits, and my kids love them. Play-doh is always a big hit here too. It really helps them develop their pincer grasp and fine motor skills.
I just found the Alex craft kits, but I really like them! We’ll be getting more for sure.
