Imaginative play is the defining developmental leap of the 2–4 year window. From roleplay scenarios to dollhouses and small world play, children use these toys to practise real-world situations, build language and develop empathy. Le Toy Van leads the field for quality and longevity.

First Wheels & Scooting
By age 2, most children are ready for a proper scooter. Singapore’s park connectors, void decks and covered walkways make this one of the most used toys you can buy — and Micro Scooter is the benchmark brand for safety, quality and longevity.
Micro Scooter BEST SELLER
Mini Deluxe Foldable LED Scooter
The classic Micro Mini scooter in a compact, foldable format with LED light-up wheels. Lean-to-steer technology makes it intuitive for first-time scooters. Available in assorted colours. Rated 18 months–5 years.
Micro Scooter
Knee & Elbow Pads
Protect every ride with the Micro Scooter Knee & Elbow Pads, designed to cushion little knees and elbows while learning to scoot, skate or cycle. Lightweight, adjustable and comfortable for active kids, they provide a secure fit that helps build confidence for safer outdoor adventures.
Singapore parent tip: Most Singapore playgrounds and park connectors are smooth tarmac — which means speeds can pick up fast. A properly fitted helmet and protective gear from the very first ride builds the habit early, before children are old enough to negotiate their way out of wearing one.

Age 2–4 in Singapore: Outdoor play matters more than ever at this age. Scooters, park visits and water play (hello, HDB splash pads) are brilliant developmental tools. Balance screen time with hands-on pretend play — and let them be bored sometimes. That’s when the best imaginative play happens.
