No one appreciates a little treat quite like a toddler, so when an excuse like Valentine’s Day comes along, it’s high time to load up on goodies that will make them giggle and grin. The best Valentine’s Day gifts for toddlers aren’t all covered in pink and red hearts…but a lot of them are. Heart-covered pajamas, shoes, bath robes, stuffies, and rubber ducks are just a jumping-off point for the greatest Valentine’s Day ever.
If you’re thinking, “All that sounds so girly. What about my toddler who’s into dinosaurs?” Well, we’ve accounted for that, too! The holiday is a great time to indulge their creative side with stickers and paint sets or bubbles and books. (And when all else fails, there’s always a Valentine’s Day T-rex shirt.) Want to go a cozy route? In addition to PJs and plush robes, we found fuzzy sweatshirts and soft sheets. If your toddler has a lot of friends — or a whole classroom to impress — we also found the best Valentine's Day cards and gift sets.
The products below are all under $50, so you can still make sure to get a great Valentine's Day gift for your husband or wife. Don't forget to shop for your friends (a.k.a. Galentines) and grab Valentine's gifts for kids above toddler age as well.
