35 Fun Stocking Stuffers For Toddlers!

Trying to find stocking stuffers for toddlers this Christmas?  Finding gifts to fill a stocking that are just the right size can be tricky with toddlers. Use these stocking stuffer ideas to make your shopping a breeze!

35 Fun Stocking Stuffers For ToddlersStocking stuffers are often the last items on my shopping list each year and tend to get overlooked. Then I scramble at the last minute to find little gifts – not too big so they fit in the stocking, not too small to pose a choking hazard to tiny people, preferably not too much candy, and not too expensive since I’m usually stretching the last of my holiday budget.

Unlike babies which I find so easy to shop for (check out my list of great stocking stuffers for babies), toddlers tend to be a little more challenging since they often have very strong preferences that change on a whim.

There is also a wide range of interests, abilities, and developmental stages within toddlers so the perfect gift for a newly turned 1-year-old may be very different from an older 2-year-old.

So if you’re drawing a blank, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are perfect stocking stuffers for toddlers!

The Best Stocking Stuffers For Toddlers

Here are a few ideas to get you started on your toddler’s stocking this year.

Playdough – A toddler favorite and perfect stocking stuffer, if you have a lot of space to fill, load up with playdough jars! For less space, try the smaller jars. You can also include a set of playdough molds, like these dinos!

Water bottle – A fun water bottle, like these, makes a great toddler gift and fits perfectly in a stocking!

Crayons

Bubbles

Markers – These Color Wonder Markers are my favorite for young toddlers since they only write on the special paper, and not your walls, table, or couch. Be sure to get some of the paper packs too!

Paint – And paint brushes too!

Christmas Stickers

Stamps – And be sure to get an extra stamp pad too.

Band-Aids – Character band-aids, like these Paw Patrol ones, are a huge hit in our house!

Magnetic Letters – Not all magnetic letters are safe for toddlers as some have small pieces or potentially loose magnets. We love this set with the little bus and it’s great for even young toddlers.

Bath toys

Bubble bath

Bathtub crayons – You can also get bathtub markers, but the crayons seem to show up better.

Bathtub paint – This fingerpaint soap is so much fun and super easy to clean up.

Flash Cards
