10 Reviews: Best Musical Toys for 2 Year Olds (Apr 2024)

Consider how wonderful it would be to have a dog without having to deal with his or her fur or feces. Heaven! The good news is that VTech has made it possible with the introduction of this adorable Pull and Sing Puppy. Instead of barking, this little creature plays music and puppy noises while also introducing numbers, colors, and body parts. What’s more, it can move with the ears turn 360 degrees and the tail spin around when pulled.

My 2 year old shared Grandson really enjoys this little doggie. He is constantly picking it up and bringing it to us to spin it's little tail because it makes a clicking sound he absolutely loves to hear. When he 1st got it he took it by the string and lead it down the hallway. He's very happy with it?

The KidiBeats Kids Drum Set, another VTech product, is ideal for developing children’s musical abilities at an early age. Featuring three drum pads and cymbals, this mini instrument is great for sensory development. This collection also includes built-in programs that teach letters, colors, numbers, and so forth. Your child would not only be able to play but also learn in this manner.

Lots of great settings for two year olds and man does he love going to town on the drums. There is multiple settings and even a “play after me” setting that helps memory when he gets older. They also turn off by themselves if they haven’t been used in a few minutes.

If you want a musical toy without all of the bells and whistles, look no further than this Babynoise Double Maraca. It’s the right size for a baby’s or toddler’s hands. Not only that, but you’ll love the lovely style, which makes it the ideal addition to any nursery decor. Not to mention that the natural sound it produces goes well with your baby’s percussion toys.

The Hape Pound & Tap Bench, which has over 11 thousand Amazon reviews, caught people’s attention because it was multifunctional. With a hammer, pound one wooden ball, and it will roll down the ramp, making a lovely ringing sound. Furthermore, the slide-out xylophone can be played alone, so your child does not have to fight over with her sibling. The cherry on top: this versatile model doesn’t require any battery!

Both my kids have a great time with this toy. 10 months and 2 years. The xylophone also comes off so you can play with it separately which is a great perk.

Prepare to be astounded when your child appears as a little guitarist. This ukulele comes in a variety of fun colors to fit your child’s personality. It’s the ideal size for a 2-year-hands old’s and body, making learning fun and easy. To make it even better, it is designed as close to the real thing as possible. It can even be tuned! The perfect introduction to teaching kids about the music world.

SO cute! A bit larger than its competitor options— we had two little guitars already for our two year old triplets, and bought this one to compete the set. It is by far the favorite! Very intuitive and easy to strum for little hands!

This endearing classic comes with 5 playable records with a total of 10 songs to keep your little one entertained during quarantine. It comes with a convenient carrying handle so your little girl can play it in the car, in the backyard, or in your living room. This musical toy includes the famous Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone, and Children’s Marching Song, in case you’re curious about the playlist.

I loved watching my 2 1/2 year old great grandson figuring out how to wind it up and move the arm to the records. The storage compartment was a unique and wonderful challenge for him. No buttons, lights or whizzes of any kind. Just simple mechanical fun.

This is, believe it or not, a live turtle, but one made of plastic. This turtle can crawl when playing happy songs and has a practical design, making it a great option for extending your baby’s tummy time. Furthermore, this endearing creature is an excellent tutor, willing to teach the alphabet and numbers in both English and Spanish. It will accompany your child as they grow.

My 2 year old grandson loves turtles so I bought this cute turtle. He likes the music and loves watching it walk around. It’s easy for him to use and he quickly figured out how to get the turtle to walk

Elmo will teach your kids friendly and simple phrases making him an excellent teacher during offline school. Color, animals, and songs are among the three musical modes available on this toy, each of which can be accessed by pressing a button on Elmo’s headphones. If your sweetheart is a Sesame Street diehard fan, there couldn’t be a better gift than this pick.

Two year old grandson loves this! He dances and sings along with Elmo.

Baby Einstein is unrivaled when it comes to children’s toys. This musical toy isn’t any different. This useful toy includes three instruments: drums, guitar, and piano, each of which can be triggered by pressing a button. This 360-degree music toy also comes with a colorful light set that will brighten up your child’s room with a spectacular light show. Great for your little composer!

Great musical toy for the first year or two. Plays a few different classical tunes. Push the top button and all the instruments play. Push individual instruments to single them out. Interactive without being annoying or too noisy. Plus buttons & lights are always a hit with lil ones.

This fun music toy will motivate your 2-year-old to get up and move! For fun songs, learning material, and dance steps, all she has to do is click the buttons on BeatBo’s LED grid on his tummy or feet. What’s impressive is this little guy lets mummy or baby record a phrase, and he’ll remix it into his favorite song. It also has a futuristic look thanks to its robot-like design.

My two year old grandson was delighted and started dancing with BeatBo right away. He discovered how to work the toy within 15 minutes and was fascinated. His mother says he loves it, and his brothers and sister do, too.
