12 Favorite Toddler Stocking Stuffers For Under $20

Do you need some Christmas stocking stuffer ideas for your family? Here are my favorite idea for under $10 each!

Christmas stockings are a hoot but they can get pretty expensive if you fill them with small but pricey items. My favorite place for stocking stuffers is the dollar tree.

For older kids I do love to include lots of chocolate and then some of the smaller things as well, but for toddlers it gets tricky because many dollar store toys are not safe for them. Not to mention toddler toys are often so big that they simply cannot fit into a stocking.

Need more Christmas inspiration?

So what the heck do you put into a toddler stocking? Here are 20 ideas for you.

This is a great gift because it’s one that fosters creativity and is fun during bathtime too. It doesn’t stain the tub and surprisingly the crayons are durable. I buy these every year for my bath loving kids.

This sweet little hedgehog is toddler friendly and helps your little one harness those fine motor skills. It’s also cute as heck.

7. Magnet Boat Set for Toddlers & Kids

8. Toddler Toothbrushes

in my house, everyone gets a toothbrush in their stocking, so why skip the toddler? these are my favorite toothbrushes.

9. Baby Hair ties

Hair accessories have always been something that gets given in a stocking in my family. If you have a toddler that can use these hairties, it’s a good little gift.

10. Pop Tube Sensory Toy

I have not tried these but they sure look fun. I would highly consider adding this to a toddler stocking.

11. Board Books

12. Soft books

Other Items to Consider For A Toddler Stocking

If you have a chance to get to the dollar store, here are some things I would grab for a toddler stocking there:

Baby toothpaste
Baby Board books
Hairbrush
Bath Toys
Busy Books

I would highly avoid purchasing anything that has parts and pieces to it, especially from the dollar store because that’s a chocking hazard.

Otherwise, any toys that are a single piece, and are a safe option for a baby would fit nicely into a stocking are a good idea.
