There are HUGE developmental leaps going on for toddlers between the ages of 2-3 years. At this age, expect big emotions, (tantrums) , simple sentences, pretend play, independence, new thinking skills and much more. Talking and listening, reading, working on everyday skills and most playing together are so important for development.

When buying for toys for 2-year-old boys and girls, be sure to pick toys and games that match their interests but still help them learn something new.
