Last year his stocking was mostly candy and one tiny truck that disappeared under the couch before lunch. This year I gave myself a single rule, nothing over $15, and went looking for small things he'd still reach for in January. Our days mostly happen in the bathtub, the car seat and his bed at story time, so that's where most of these picks ended up.

  1. Cover of Little Blue Truck's Christmas board book.

    Little Blue Truck's Christmas (Board Book)

    The board book version survives being carried around the house, and the rhyme is short enough to read three times in a row when he asks for it again.

  2. Melissa & Doug Water Wow activity pad with water pen.

    Fill the pen with water and the pictures appear, then fade as they dry so he can color them again, with four boards and nothing to spill in the car.

  3. Twelve mini pull back construction trucks and race cars.

    12 Pack Mini Pull Back Construction Trucks and Race Cars

    Pull them back and let go. Twelve is enough to put a few in the stocking and save the rest for the next long drive.

  4. Green rechargeable kids headlamp with patterned band and USB cable.

    EverBrite Rechargeable Kids Headlamp (Forest)

    It recharges instead of eating batteries, has an adjustable band and color light modes, and turns a walk around the block after dark into a big event.

  5. Six colorful dinosaur bath toys.

    Tub Works Dinosaur Mold Free Bath Toys, 6 Pack

    Six squeezable dinosaurs with sealed bottoms, so water can't get inside and you won't find mold in them come March.

  6. Six pairs of striped toddler crew socks with grip bottoms.

Common questions

What are good stocking stuffers for toddler boys?
Small things he'll use after Christmas morning work best: a holiday board book, a reusable Water Wow pad, a few pull back trucks, a kids headlamp, bath toys and grip socks.
How much should I spend on toddler stocking stuffers?
Every pick here is under $15, and all six together come to about $61.
Are these stocking stuffers safe for a 2-year-old?
Check the age recommendation on each listing before you buy. Water Wow, for example, is listed for ages 3 and up, so some of these work better for an older toddler.

Whatever doesn't fit in the stocking can ride along in the car for the next long drive.
