Toddler Boy Clothing Necessities

If your baby boy is about to grow into toddler boy clothing, it is important to have his drawers and closet stocked with all of his needs. I have a little boy myself, so I have learned over time what items are good to have around. Toddler sizes usually start around 2 years old. Below are the necessities your little boy should always have available to wear.

T-Shirts: When you buy shirts, it is important to make sure your little boy has shirts to play in and some to wear to nice events. I usually reserve character shirts for playing outside, going to preschool or daycare, or use as pajamas. Polo shirts or other collared shirts are good for outings, picture days, or to wear at restaurants. Make sure you buy some white t-shirts to use as undershirts or for really cool days. I would like to point out that of course I send my son to school with polo shirts or there are several days my son wears character shirts on outings. My point is to make sure you have expendable clothing for days your child plays hard.

Shorts and Pants- Stock up on plenty of shorts and toddler boys pants including gym, khaki, and jean material. You can not buy enough shorts and pants. The reason why is because toddlers are still prone to accidents during potty training. Most mothers of boys soon learn that potty training is more difficult for a boy!

Swimming trunks- Buy at least two swimming trunks so you can have a spare.

Socks- Buy quarter crew cut or ankle and full size crew cut socks. I usually dress my son in the full size crew cut during colder months.

Shoes- Because toddler's feet grow so fast, I never buy too many shoes at a time. A couple of pairs of sandals and a couple of pairs of sneakers should do.

Pajamas- It is important to have long sleeve pajamas for winter and short sleeve pajamas for summer. However, this of course depends on the area you live in and the temperature you keep your thermostat set.

Sweaters and Long Sleeve Shirts- Depending on the weather in your area, you will need long sleeve shirts or heavy sweaters. I live in an area where it does not get very cold, so I only bought a handful of heavy sweaters. However, I did purchase several light long sleeve and heavier long sleeve shirts. Heavier long sleeve shirts are basically made out of a thicker material compared to the lighter long sleeve shirts, which are usually made up of t-shirt cotton material.

Coats, Jackets, Rain Coats- Again, the thickness of the coat or jacket you buy depends on the area you live in. Use your best judgement.

Hats and Mittens/Gloves- I can't stress hats and gloves enough. I think these are the toddler boy clothing items most people forget. Your child will definitely need these items if it gets very cold where you live. Playing in the snow and not having gloves is not good for a young child, so make sure you stock up.

Underwear- Your younger toddler is still in training pants probably, but introducing him to underwear early can be beneficial.
