Best Light-Up Toys For Toddlers

25 Light-Up Toys Will Make Your Toddler's Eyes Sparkle With Delight

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Wooden toys are eco-friendly, and sensory toys are a great way to broaden your little one's mind, but when it comes to keeping my toddlers entertained for longer than 15 seconds, I'll always turn to light-up toys. Light-up toys are fun and often educational, with many of them also singing songs, teaching numbers and shapes, and encourageing socialisation. These toys definitely keep my kids more engaged than watching TV does. From mini laptops to colourful mixing bowls to glowing bath toys, there are plenty of fun light-up toys for your toddlers! Check out a few of my favourites in the slides ahead.
