Looking for toddler gifts under £10? Look no further.
Most of us know a toddler in our family and at some point during the year, you may need to think about getting a small gift for them. However, if you are a parent of a toddler, you will soon come to realise that there is quite often a selection of invites held to the fridge by magnets acting as a reminder of just how many gifts you need to buy! If this sound familiar, you will probably be in need of find finding some low costs gifts that won’t leave you without food for the month!
Although, you probably thought that getting a good quality toddler gift for under £10 would be difficult. You couldn’t been further from the truth. In actual fact, there is a good selection of toys available for this budget and very good quality too. Personally, I always think that wooden toys make great gifts as they are timeless and can be shared with siblings if there are others in the family. There are also a good amount of learning toys that are available and would be welcomed by any parents. Also, possibly my favourite part is that all of these gifts are available on Amazon Prime so if you know that you are going to get them pretty quickly.

A classic lego toy with bright colours and bricks numbered from zero to nine. The set also includes two Duplo figures and a Duplo cat to ride on the train. This offers a great introduction to numbers and counting whilst the train also offers imaginative play. The carriages also clip onto each other which promotes hand and eye coordination. In total, the set contains 23 pieces. This toy is often played with in our house and will compliment further Duplo purchases.

We love this game! Whilst it is so incredibly simple, it will offer hours of entertainment. Inside the box are four buses, each a different colour. On each bus, there are certain characters that also have a matching piece. With all of the pieces turned upside down, the one that finds all the characters for their bus is the winner. This game is great for teaching any child the basic principles of playing games. And with many others offered by orchard toys, this is a great start.

This book belongs in every toddlers library. We didn’t own this one at first but he was introduced to it through day care and has become one of his all-time favourite books. He really is such a naughty tiger that comes into the house and literally eats everything in sight.
This is a great book for the imagination and will be read countless times.

This is a lovely puzzle to introduce or enhance a child’s understanding of the alphabet. What we especially like about this one is that the letters will only fit the matching image. Each 2 piece puzzle features a picture, letter and word. Encourages word recognition and develops matching skills
