Wooden puzzles, bath toys, bath crayons, magic face washer, plastic plate and cup, knife, fork and spoon.
If giving chalk or crayons, get the fat ones -- easier for them to handle. Big-piece puzzles, rhyming books, such as One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, alphabet and counting books. Bubbles are good for outdoors, bath toys, special hooded bath towel, larger ball to toss (helps improve eye-hand coordination), pail, shovel or kid-friendly gardening tools to help Mom and Dad. If they may be sports inclined, maybe a plastic bat and wiffle ball set. Developmentally appropriate toys -- stacking in sequence, size and color, connecting bead sets. Just remember to watch the component size of toys as much will still go into their mouth at 24 months.
The lace up toys. They are big wooden pieces and then have the shoelaces you poke through the holes. Always recommended for hand/eye coordination also.
Construction paper, finger paints (different flavours of ready made pudding)
glue stick or glue in a cup with a paint brush and cut up pieces of paper/tissue, pieces of yarn, pasta shapes, bits of fabric etc.
If you look online you will find a few recipes on line to make a safe glue using flour etc. You can also fine recipes to make safe finger paint.

Home made play dough was always a big hit. I also liked using Crayola's washable crayons, paints and markers with that age.
