Your favorite toy that the kids ever had

houseforjoy · 10-30-2015, 03:23 PM

I need toy/ gift ideas for my to be 18 months old for Christmas. Keep in mind he is number 5 so most toys are been there have that

. It can be a grow with him item or grow into item. It doesn't have to be a toy, but something he would use be useful to him. So what is something your kids loved/love that u are so glad they had?

My favorite of all his toys would be the kitchen with all the accessories: a lot of Melissa & Doug play food/ felt food/pots & pans, etc.

Other than his trains, that is probably his most played with toy as well.

My kids love their yo baby kick flipper. Great toy for five years now.

It's so hard with kids that far along... We always struggled with what to get our last.

His fave more expensive but longer term toys include:

automoblox
playmobil police car, ambulance, pirate ship
wooden blocks

Stomp rockets are pretty awesome but maybe a bit too advanced for that age.

We have a beautiful wooden abacus that has always been loved. I think I got it from Island toys are something to that effect. It is large and wooden. It is now a focal point for my newest crawling tot. My three year old loves to count on it. And my early elem kids use it for math. And, it is really pretty to look at.

Another fav toy is a HUGE wooden stacker. My younger ones like to stack it and the older ones use it for building.

If you live in a warmer climate, building a really big sand box might be loved. My older kids outgrew sand play until we built a sand box that held two tons of sand...now we have big beach building in the back yard.

and, the sit and spin is another favorite here.

joyousTXmama · 10-30-2015, 06:42 PM

Hmm, it does get tougher as more kids join the family... These are what we get the most out of or still add to after 3.

Magformers blocks
Bristle blocks
Play silks
Bean bags
Wow toys (no batteries yay

)
Automoblox
Anything new for our play kitchen - haba apple pie, m&d cupcake set, Hape toaster, cutting fruit and veggies etc
Wooden train set pieces

Duploes, wooden train sets, play kitchen. These are the things my daughter has that my 17 month old son loves to play with.

The Leap Frog picnic basket is a good one. The noise it makes isn't very annoying and can be turned off, and the pieces fit easily into the basket so it's easy to tidy up.

Little Adventures makes cool dress ups.

Duplos are always a win and there are some fun ones out these days.

We gave N this book last Christmas,he was 14 mo,but he likes even more now at 2 yrs. It's a nice big size,the animals are well-made and its a favorite quiet activity for just me and my third baby

It zips up so the animals don't get lost.

So far we have almost everything mentioned

#fifthkidproblems

the mag blocks look interesting- are they super safe w here the magnet s would not come out even if he was biting on them? Because he is a big biter of all the things.
Also what are auto blocks? I saw them on Amazon, do u build them?

Mother of Sons · 10-30-2015, 10:16 PM

My favorite toy that you probably already have are the stacking balls.

I like these because they stack and nest but they also snap together as balls and all the balls fit inside each other and they snap together the opposite way too. I think they are really fun.

Automoblox. Yes, the bigger ones come apart and can be put back together. They pieces can be interchanged. They are really high quality and my ds loves them.

There are mini's and regular. The regular come apart in more pieces than the mini's do.
