These Creative Plate and Utensil Sets Make It Okay for Kids to Play With Their Food

Toddlers are so good at capturing hearts, so they deserve some extra love this Valentine's Day. But when it comes to buying Valentine's Day gifts for kids this age, there are some special considerations. Toddler gifts have to be free of choking hazards, sturdy and able to be gripped by smaller hands.

Luckily, there are still plenty of fun, cute, and V-day appropriate toddler gifts, whether you're shopping for gifts for 1-year-olds, gifts for 2-year-olds or small, inexpensive gifts for toddlers of any age. When we searched the shelves this year, these were the best Valentine's Day gifts for toddlers in 2023. Some of them are current or former Good Housekeeping Best Toy Award winners, which means they were vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute for safety and quality, then sent to kids to assess the fun factor. To those picks, we added some bestsellers, editor's faves and trending toys we know that toddlers love. No chalky conversation hearts necessary! (They're not really safe for toddlers to eat anyway.)

Once the toddlers are sorted, you can move onto other recipients worthy of love this season, including gifts for her, gifts for him, gifts for boys of all ages and even Valentine's Day gifts for teachers, too.
