Favorite toddler toys?

adoxyinherear · April 2014

I feel like in the last few weeks DD has just lost all interest in most of her toys. I rotate them about every week, which so far has worked really well, but now I wonder if maybe some of her toys are too "young" for her, or if something else is to blame? She plays with lots of every day not-toy stuff, too, and even those she just doesn't seem into, either.

What are some of your toddlers' favorites?

Right now DS1 loves:

Stuffed animals. He even brings them to the couch to line up and greeted me in bed with some one morning.

Mega Blocks (especially the wagon)

Little Tikes basketball set and a cheap bathtub hoop and ball set

Balls

Bath crayons

Rockin Rider Legacy Pony (it changes between a rocking horse and a spring horse easily...he loves the spring horse)

Cars or anything on wheels

Right now I'm struggling to find new things for DS2. I'm not the most creative.

Still with duplo blocks and books; puzzles including map puzzle of the US, play doh, "cooking" with pots and pans.

Sorry, I can't see your signature...how old is your daughter? Eleanor started loving baby dolls around 15-18m and is still obsessed. She also loves her strollers for her dolls (we somehow ended up with three). I ditto a lot of what PP said. Refrigerator magnets, like animals or letters, are a hit, too. We also have a barn with barnyard animals that gets tons of use. Lacing beads are fun, too. If you have Pinterest there's so many different ideas for toddler activities and toy lists. I've pinned a million of them, so if you want to follow me let me know.

Lilliana loves matchbox cars. She carries them around everywhere and likes to take a bath with them.

She also loves to push around her shopping cart.

She loves anything she can climb on. We moved her slide indoors and she goes down that thing a million times a day.

DS loves his Lego Duplos right now. LOVES them. Also he got these nesting dolls, like the Russian nesting dolls but kids style, and those are a big hit too. Something like this basically: https://www.amazon.com/Schylling-Sock-Monkey-Nesting-Monkeys/dp/B004M8ROHS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1396633390&sr=8-6&keywords=nesting+dolls

We took out the super small ones so I think in a set of 6, he plays with 5 of them. Also markers. We get the color wonder markers that only write on the special paper. He loves both coloring and just putting the lids on and taking them back off.

Dd has loved her stroller and shopping cart, play food, blocks, and babies. She has a train set she likes, and the Melissa and Doug musical instruments too!

Big favorites here are duplos/mega blocks, books, stuffed animals/babies, coloring books/markers/paint, toy stroller, and play foods (especially the velcro foods that she can cut). She also got a toy house for Christmas that she is just now starting to show interest in.

Great post...I'm searching for outdoor toys right now. I think I'm going to pick up a water table from CostCo and some kind of ride car. And I really want one of those toddler basketball hoops too. I'm not a fan of sandboxes....to me they just scream mess and I should just put up a big sign for all the neighborhood animals to come and poop in it. LOL!
