Types of Toddler Boy Toys

I do not like to use categories to describe boys and girls because a lot of times people think there are so many differences, when there are a lot of similarities. But for our purposes, examples of toddler boy toys would probably be things like race cars, plush action figures, books about animals, legos, building blocks, etc.

When our children are toddlers it is a good time to take advantage of toys that are neutral. These would be things like toddler puzzles, crayons and coloring books, playdough, markers, etc. But be careful with the markers! Toddlers like to eat everything!

Which Ones Are the Toddler Boy Toys?

I really never liked making that separation of toys into "boy toys" or "girl toys", but who am I kidding? There are definitely certain toys that our toddler boys prefer to play with as oppose to our toddler girls. Just like there are certain toys that our adult boys like to play with as oppose to adult girls. So, if someone were to give a list of examples of toddler boy toys, they would probably mention toys like toy guns, toy swords, toy cars (both ride-on and hand held), legos, G.I.-joes, and other action figures. Although, there are some girls who also like playing with legos, and G.I.-joes. But, I guess, according to society, toddler girls would play with "girl toys" like Barbie dolls, little stuffed animals and little interactive puppies, easy-bake ovens, and make-believe tea party sets.

Toddler Boy Toys vs. Toddler Girl Toys?

As much as society is trying to eliminate gender stereotypes and schemas, I am surprised there are still such things as toddler boy toys. But still, the fact remains that boys do end up playing with toys that we usually don't see toddler girls playing with. Our male little ones usually enjoy playing with toys like monster trucks, toy race cars, action figures, and things like that. We don't see our little boys playing with doll houses or Barbies right? Well, we usually don't anyway. I always thought it shouldn't matter what kind of toys are toddler boys or girls play with. Isn't it too early to tell what sort of gender roles our young ones are going to play based on their toddler toys?

Best Todder Boy Toys

Do have a rambunctious little toddler boy running around your home that you still need to buy a few more Christmas presents for? Yes, well you are not alone. There are many others just like you. And there is still plenty of time to buy some great presents.

The best toddler boy toys are ones that encourage them to get all of their energy out. Good examples of these types of toys are plastic baseballs and baseball bats, small soft soccer balls, tricycles, and superman costumes.
