1. A toddler basketball set because every little baller needs their first hoop. We have this hoop at home and enjoy playing with it indoors, especially on rainy days. The kids love pretending to shoot 3-pointers like Stephen Curry.
2. A tee-ball set so your little one can perfect their swing! Looking to get them outside more? Then this is the purchase for you! Eyyyy batter, batter, your kid will be out on the field in no time with this set.
3. A Little Tikes golf set that is perfect for toddlers. My 2-year-old is always finding new and creative things to put in this caddy around the house! It's totally *on par.*
4. A set of activity cones so you can set up drills and activities for your kid. These cones can also be used to work on balance, counting, and colors. If you have a 2-year-old like me, they also provide hours of stacking fun!
