Classic Toys For Boys

Perfect toy for a 2 year old boy?
It’s my nephew’s birthday- last year I got him a Red Flyer Wagon and it was a big hit. What are the other must-have (classic, timeless) gifts for toddlers? What toy has endured over time in your home?
Are legos safe for 2 year olds?
Warren D- Shouldn’t girls be given toys that encourage building and operating things? 
I’m an engineer, so of course I think so!
Actually, you can’t do better than LEGO toys if you want to give your nephew a building toy. LEGO makes a wide range of toys for tots– and people like me who never quite grew up. LEGO specifically makes DUPLO toys for toddlers. Check out the first link below for some product ideas from LEGO Shop. One of the great things about LEGO toys is that your nephew will be able to incorporate his DUPLO toys with traditional LEGO pieces as he grows older because they’re designed to snap together. I know because I have both toys and I’ve mixed the two when building with my four-year old nephew.
Some other toys you should consider, however, are trains. My nephew loves Thomas & Friends and he has the complete LEGO DUPLO set, as well as many pieces from the wooden railway sets, which he’s owned since he was two. BRIO and Eichhorn also make great train sets and the tracks are interchangeable with Thomas & Friends wooden railway systems.
Other toys you might consider include plastic Bob the Builder toys, wooden Jay Jay the Jet Plane toys, dinosaur replicas from Safari, Bullyland, Papo or Schleich or plush reptiles from Wild Republic, which makes uncommon stuffed animals, too. I’ve added links to various sites below.
I truly hope you find something your nephew will like. I marvel at my nephew when I watch him play with his toys and I share his passion for building with LEGO. Cheers and Happy Birthday to your nephew!

Melody Time (Disney Gold Classic Collection) $9.96 This is another collection of Disney shorts set to music, but this time the formula works. That’s predicated on the inherent strength of the individual pieces and almost all of them come through. Surprisingly, two American folk heroes, Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill, are the stars of this show, with rousty little tunes, humor, and compelling linear story lines (a rarity in most of these shorts). … |

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Full Screen Edition) $3.39 This remastered, pan-and-scan 30th-anniversary edition of that kiddie-car caper is flawed but solid family fare. It retains a quaint charm while some of the songs–including the title tune–are quite hummable. A huge plus is Dick Van Dyke, who is extremely appealing as an eccentric inventor around the turn of the century. With nimble fingers and a unique way of looking at the world, he invents for… |
