Posted by admin on Apr 9, 2018
Shopping for toddlers can be a bit tricky. They’re at an age where they’re able to play with more toys, but there’s always the risk that they might try to eat something that they shouldn’t. The good news? There are plenty of Japanese children's toys that are both safe and fun for toddlers.
Still, finding the perfect gift for a birthday, a holiday, or simply to spoil them can be a challenge. Are you currently looking for a good gift for your child or for a relative? Here are five of the best Japanese toys for toddlers you should consider getting for the little one in your life!

Choo choo! Starting off our list with an exciting toy, the Takara Tomy Pla-Rail 20 Cool Layouts to Run! DX Rail Kit is the perfect gift for any toddler who is just starting to get into trains. This train track kit is one of the best Japanese toys for toddlers who love trains, offering 25 types of rails and scenery (with 63 parts in total) capable of creating 20 different track configurations. With all of these pieces and layouts, your toddler will have a blast as they run their toy trains across a ton of different tracks. You just have to supply the trains!
2. The Maruka Sumikko Gurashi Mini Drawing Board
The Maruka Sumikko Gurashi Mini Drawing Board is a fun little Japanese toy for toddlers that helps them draw their favorite things over and over again with a magnetic board. Unlike other Japanese children’s toys such as drawing books, simply drag the pen across the surface to draw something, then swipe the small knob at the bottom across the screen to erase. This drawing board also comes with five sheets with adorable cartoon animals, so they can trace shapes as well as draw their own creation!
