 | Pre-Zolo Blocks
(Suggested Retail Price: $48, Zolo)
With funky colors and patterns and unique decorations (think yellow tassels), this 25-piece wooden construction set would be equally at home in a modern art museum as in your child's toy box. Luckily, kids are welcome to touch these, and they'll love to create their own masterpieces.

 | Eric Carle Brown Bear Puzzle Tiles
(Suggested Retail Price: $20, Small World Toys)
Carle's famous illustrations have gone to pieces — nine of them — in this toddler-friendly wooden puzzle. Put it together with your child to reveal the animals from the classic book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Bonus: the lovely wooden storage box. |
 | My First Scooter
(Suggested Retail Price: $40, Radio Flyer)
Now your 2-year-old can ride tall like his big sibs do. This cool plastic scooter requires zero assembly, folds shut for storage, and is super-sturdy, with an extra-wide platform for your child's feet.

 | Pull Back Autos
(Suggested Retail Price: $28, K's Kids)
Remember how much you loved these cars as a kid? You rolled them in reverse, let them go, and they shot across the room. You’ll be amazed at how much farther these new vehicles (a taxi, police car, fire engine, and school bus) can go — up to 20 feet! They’re even machine washable, and come in a handy zippered case.

 | Lift-Off Rocket
(Suggested Retail Price: $40, iPlay)
Your child will be over the moon for this play set, which comes with two astronauts, their dog, a friendly green alien, a moon crater, and a moon mobile, most of which fit in the rocket itself. A button on the ship even provides a countdown. (At the Parenting photo shoot, this was the kids' hands-down favorite.)
|
 | Bounce 'n Go Inch-Along
(Suggested Retail Price: $35, Hasbro/Playskool)
This retro toy's a guaranteed giggle-getter: Children sit on the grinning plastic caterpillar and push off with their feet to roll across the floor, or bounce up and down to pretend they’re inching across the lawn. |
