I don't differentiate between 'girl' and 'boy' toys, as both girls and boys play with everything I have two 2yo's right now, and their favourites are Playmobil 1-2-3, Duplo, wooden building blocks, the giant cardboard blocks from Melissa and Doug, play kitchen and food, wooden train set, plastic animal and dinosaur figures, Melissa and Doug chunky puzzles, balls, Manhattan Toy wooden adventure toddler sets, Janod stacking toys (rocket ship, alien space ship), Janod pirate ship and Nutty Squirrel ball track, Le toy Van stacking tree with bird and nest, and puppets.
