5 Toddler Toys Under $5

1. Toy Echo Microphone

https://amzn.to/3sPn1HA

This ten inch plastic microphone is great for younger children who love to sing. They come in bright fun kid colors and with every child’s most loved, and often off-limits, accessory - a plastic pretend cord. Both my girls love to run or crawl to cords. They both know cords are off limits, so within minutes they both had the microphones hanging out of their mouths by the fake, three inch cord. I guess you could say this toy doubles as a tether as well! Even our 9 month old will practice different sounds into the microphone and enjoy the echo she hears as she does. I remember singing into an echo microphone as a child which gave me the idea to get this gift for my toddler. She has been singing into random objects like a microphone for the last few weeks. It is always a joy to share the love of music with our children!

2. The First Year Stack Up Cup Toys

https://amzn.to/30fHXv7

For hours of scientific, mathematical and imaginative play these cups are a crowd pleaser from birth to three (and beyond I hope!). My toddler is two and a half so I can only personally testify to the results I’ve seen with her, her sister and other toddler friends who range up to three years of age. These cups seem simple, but with their bright colors, numbers imprinted on the bottom and the option to stack them up like a tower, or stack them as nesting bowls leads to endless hours of fun. They stack up and store nicely in a small space which is a plus. Not to mention the stacking cups can be pretend cups for tea parties, bowls or your toddlers favorite pretend food in a pretend kitchen or, you guessed it a TEETHER for those little babies cutting teeth and wanting to “drink” out of cups just like the adults around them!

3. Pip Squeak Crayola Markers 16 Count.

https://amzn.to/3kLhaAn

These markers are appropriately named for your little ones! They are smaller in size so they fit in your little ones hands and have bright fun colors with interesting names. It does cost $5.44, so this is over my promised $5 threshold, so I offer a second choice, which comes in under $5 at a 10 count but is not part of the “pip squeak” series. I wanted to make the recommendation for the age appropriate markers alongside the under $5 that I promised! 10 or 16 markers, we often only give our daughter one or two at a time to color with so I think the smaller pack would be completely sufficient for whatever toddler you are trying to bless with the goodness or art! Don’t forget our FAVORITE coloring catchphrase, “We color only on paper.” (This insinuates the opposite- we don’t color on the table/trays/walls/clothes etc!)

4. OBall

https://amzn.to/2MJoHDn

That’s right, a classic ball can keep a child entertained for days on end. This ball is easy to grip for babies, and can teach fine motor skills with its cut out shapes. It also has a few filled in sections with small beads to add the sensory experience of hearing the beads rattle as the ball rolls. It is lightweight so if it falls on or hits baby it should not cause the bay or toddler to get hurt. A home nurse told me once that playing ball with your baby or toddler teaches them the magical, always needed, something I’m still working on — PATIENCE! Patience… is ALWAYS a good thing. And to think there is a fun way of practicing patience with your children is a delightful Idea in my book. To know that playing ball can teach things like, patience, taking turns, cooperative play and sharing makes me want to recommend always putting a ball in a baby shower present for expecting moms. As a former softball player and coach, always remember to take, “You throw like a girl,” as a compliment to you and your children!

5. I don’t have links for you but I do have a list of other toddler loved toys that are probably going to be under $5 at your local store or even Dollar Store. (That’s right $1 toys and art supplies can go a long way with toddlers!) Without further delay, here is the list:

Here’s a sneak preview of my list of board games for three-year-olds. Check out the link in my bio if you want to see all the games. I definitely have more games listed than we will ever be able to play before my son’s fourth birthday so some will have to carry over to my next list, I guess 🤷‍♀️. ** My wish list started out with the popular choices and suggestions from all of you but quickly grew to include the games I picked up second hand. The nice thing about three-year-olds is they don’t always know the difference between the popular choice and the $1 choice. The nice thing about spending $1-5 on a game is you don’t have to feel bad about giving it away if you don’t like it. You can buy games on a budget to get an idea of the types of games your kid likes before spending too much money on the popular ones! ** I did the math (in Excel because I’m an accountant) and I have spent $233 on games and puzzles in the last month or so. It seems like a lot but those games new would have cost $649 plus tax so I feel pretty good about it. It’s still quite a bit of money so I would have cut myself off if my husband hadn’t done it first 😂. ** #toddlergames #toddlergaming #toddlersofinstagram #kidsboardgames #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamesforkids #gameschooling #kidsgames #toddlergaming #tabletopgamesforkids #parenting #childdevelopment #tabletopfamily #boardgamefamily #thriftyfinds #boardgamesonabudget #boardgamerecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZVh4Sh-0n/?igshid=1lam18uovdtsd

I just love this (not my image). ** We have been watching a lot of Dora the Explorer recently and this morning my toddler led me on a full-fledged adventure based on the most recent episode we watched. ** Dora is a great way to introduce your kids to maps and adventures, which are both integral parts of any tabletop RPG. ** My three-year-old was so excited to lead the way on the adventure in which we had to find a boat and row over a river, hop like frogs on stepping stones across the mud, and find our ball at the volcano (but watch out, that volcano is about to explode!). ** My toddler calls the show “Dora’s ventures” (Dora’s Adventures). It’s available on Prime Video. ** Image credit: https://mainmanchay.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/how-a-dd-player-would-deconstruct-1/amp/ ** #toddlergames #toddlergaming #toddlersofinstagram #gameschooling #kidsgames #toddlergaming #dndforkids #tabletopgamesforkids #tabletoprpg #parenting #childdevelopment #parentingblogger #tabletopfamily #geekparenting #growingup #nerdlife #geekparenting #doratheexplorer #swipernoswiping https://www.instagram.com/p/CDy530bBGC0/?igshid=5pm8pbbh7nu6

IT'S AMAZING HOW KIDS LOVE LEARNING NEW THINGS . . And in our toddler's case, it's learning about shapes. I've started to introduce him to the circle shape about 2 weeks ago, when we were eating his Marie crackers. And I pointed all the many things that are circles in his surroundings. Then we drew together. And I asked him to draw - which he did (almost circle)! . . I guess he was really excited to understand the concept of circle. There was this one day when I was watching the television, and he suddenly stood infront of me and said "circle" while showing his Rubik's Twist that he had constructed to an almost circle shape. I could have cried with pride that day 😂 . . And so yesterday we drill into the second shape, triangle, when we were eating Chacho's (oh yes, our toddler loves learning while eating 😂). He was so excited, he said the word triangle everytime I gave him the tortilla chips and asked "what shape is this?"! But of course, triangle is a bit hard to say, so he only vocalise the end "gle" 😆. . . And after we finished with Chacho's, we did some drawings of circles & triangles. The triangles that he drew were not bad, but only has 2 sides 😂 . . And after that, we played this particular game shown in the picture, where I asked him to fill in the blocks inside the shape. The task may look easy but for a toddler that love to kick his toys, it took quite some time 😂 But we finally made it! . . What's your favourite game to play with your child these days? . . #simplemomjourney #motherhood #parenting #toddler #toddlerlife #toddleractivities #toddlergames #homeschooling #educatingAydeen #block #learningshapes #learningthroughplay https://www.instagram.com/p/B44e0xUBE4w/?igshid=nz4voyofjchg
