20 Christmas Gifts for Toddlers Under $20
Buying Christmas gifts for toddlers is no easy task! As a gift giver, you want to see delight in the face of the receiver. So, of course, you want to give them something that they will love. However, when it comes to toddlers, their parents may not share the same passion for something that their child covets. Their parents probably want/need clothes for them but the toddler will feel differently. Toddlers will want toys for Christmas.
However, the parent is more than likely overwhelmed with the amount of assorted toys the toddler already possesses and doesn’t play with. I know that before I had kids of my own I was definitely guilty of buying other people’s children random toys. They probably played with them for twenty seconds before disregarding them along with all the others.
So, as a mom of a toddler myself, I have compiled a list of twenty Christmas gifts for toddlers under twenty dollars that will spark joy in them and appease their parents!
In no particular order, these are my top 20 Christmas gifts for toddlers for under $20!

Except for the Vtech tablet, I don’t think any of these things were around when my girls were toddlers! They had a dif medical kit and a dif doodle board, though, and LOVED them both.

Thank you for doing all my shopping for me! It’s nice to have a list ready to go. I don’t have toddlers anymore so shopping for new nieces and nephews has been hard.
