They have a while to shop, but I need some b-day present ideas for my family. We have the leapfrog musical table. Do we need another activity table? We have a play kitchen and I was going to get a play shopping cart. What were your LO's favorite toys at this age?
Thanks
Re: Recommend your 12-18 mo olds fav toys
I'm in the same boat... my girls 1st birthday is this summer. Here are some things they love now:

We just pulled this out of the basement for the twins: https://www.radioflyer.com/wagons/classic-walker-wagon.html. We're going to have to get another one, as they brawl over the only one. DD1 fights about it, too.
Other than that, they typically want all of their sister's toys. ;-)
For outdoor-
toddler slide, cozy coupes, wagon (def get the radio flyer that has the actual seats if you can, canopy is nice too), little play basketball hoop, those step 2 rocking dog/pony, water or sand table
indoor- melissa & doug puzzles & whatnot, doodle pro, melissa & doug lock/latch thing (not sure what it is called), megablocks, popper push thing, play vacuum, thomas the train stuff, elmo purse with some things in side (really anything elmo, my DD in particular is obsessed), balls....
My boys love their FP Laugh and Learn Home. They probably play with it every single day! We also have a Step 2 Kangaroo Climber in the basement that they love to play on. Another favorite is this one from Target:

It is like a big gumball machine with colorful balls. The boys have a ball with this one!
Another favorite is duplo blocks and the FP Little People Farm.
They have Scout and Violet from Leapfrog and sleep with them every night.
Laugh and Learn Home
Racin Ramps Garage
Little Tykes 3 in 1 sports center
FP Stack and Suprise Musical Croc Block Wagon
Step 2 Water Wheel Play Table
Step 2 Whisper Ride Buggy
Favorites in our house right now: Fisher Price Laugh and learn music table; Little Tykes push'n'ride car; "shakey eggs" (easter eggs with different noise makers inside and glued shut); Little People School bus (pull toy); decoy remote controls and cell phones; tupperware and pots and pans.
We don't have tons of space, so we don't have many big toys. Right now they're facinated with pretty mundane things- empty water bottles, toilet paper rolls, opening (and emptying) drawers, the cats, our coaster set, etc. Things they can easily pick up, manipulate, and make noise with are awesome in their eyes.
