does your LO play with toys?

march2008

If so, please recommend their favorite toy! My DD just isn't interested in her toys anymore and I'm looking for ideas for something new for her. Thanks!

My mom recently bought Stella something similar to this and she does play with them for a while...sometimes stacking them, sometimes nesting them.  She also has this little combination basketball/football/baseball thing that she enjoys playing with.  If i handed over my phone or kindle, she would be ecstatic.

I posted the same a few weeks back. She's only interested in non-toy items but she still loves books so board books are it right now. Oh and lately she's been doodling a lot. She has an activity table that SIL gifted her on her birthday. We give her erasable/non-toxic pens to doodle on it or on construction paper.

Caleb really likes toy cars, especially ones that click as he pushes them. Also, he has a liitle pull doggy that he loves to pull around the house.

My guy would spend hours sorting things by sorting things, I mean putting smaller pieces from toys into different buckets containers. He's also really into his books right now all my kitchen gadgets.

DS is really into anything with wheels right now. My friend gave us a Chuck the dump truck her son outgrew and it quickly became Jagger's favorite. It shakes and spins in circles trying to dump out what he puts in it, super cute! Other than cars, trucks, and trains he loves books! Oh, my parents recently bought Jagger a toy dog on a string that he loves to pull around when we're over there.

fisher price laugh n learning home. He has played with it everyday since his birthday. Best 80 bucks I have spent and he has tons of toys. Highly recommend. It seems like every couple days he finds something new the home teaches or does. Love it.

DD is very into her food and kitchen toys. Cannot wait for DH to finish building the actual kitchen. She also loves to color, draw with sidewalk chalk, play with homemade Playdough and cookie cutters, stuffed animals and musical instruments. Of course playing with her shoes might rank above all of these :

He loves, LOVES his Little People Farm.  He will even follow me around the house carrying the entire barn wanting me to play with him.  He carries the animals around and lines them up on stools and such.  

He also has a Little People Safari Sounds Zoo Truck.  He loves to load animals (both Safari and farm) into the back and push it around.  Then he'll find a corner and play with the animals for awhile.  I think he likes the zoo truck better than his other toy cars because it's big, and he can lean over and push it with both hands all around.

She's not into to many toys but she loves this picnic basket.  Truthfully the voice is a little creepy but she doesnt seem to notice.  Also she's really into her balls and football lately

She likes her balls and stuffed animals and baby doll and books.  She likes to push around her Melissa and Doug alligator push cart.  She likes her instruments--the ones that come in the drum from Target and a Little Tikes piano and xylophone I got her at a yard sale.

But her favorite thing lately is clothes--yesterday she spent a 1/2 hour just sitting on the floor of her room, pulling her clothes out of the laundry basket, and trying to put them on.

Books are definitely #1, and baskets full of sippies and tupperware in the kitchen cabinets are second. But she does play with toys.

Big stuff -

Step 2 Whisper Ride Buggy - She loves to hide things in the trunk and push it around the house, climb around on it, in it, sitting backwards making it "beep beep" with her hiney is apparently the most hilarious thing ever to her

 

Basketball goal has been a big hit! MIL got it for her first birthday and everyone told her she was way too young for it. She runs and scores with every ball in the house and then whips around looking for her applause.

She also loves stuffed animals, she carries them around, pats and shhhs them to go night night, shoves them in the trunk of the buggy, shoves them in the refrigerator of her kitchen...don't know if she's prepping to be a mama or a mob cleaner.

Her little people are pretty popular too. We have the Zoo Truck and the little dollhouse. Both make sounds that she loves, or she really loves loading and unloading the people and animals. (or again, hiding them in trunks and toy ovens)

Alot of great suggestions here! DD plays with her doll stoller ($3 at consignment!), push car, wooden letter blocks, little people farm, that shape sorter picnic basket someone else mentioned and DS's cars and trucks. A little bit on the magadoodle and like to play chalk outside.

There is a small plastic basket we have from I don't even know what and she can sit and put her little blocks in that for ages. In/out, in out, basket on the head, etc. Repeat. Loves it. Also, a soccer ball size plastic ball is a huge hit. She kicks it, chases it. When DS was small, we didn't know what to get or what to do at each stage but with DD she has the benefit of all of these things in front of her so she goes for it. It's easier in those terms this time around.

LOL. DD does this and it's hilarous. Carries her one doll around by the hair too. But hugs and does "awww" when she hugs her. So funny.

DS favorite toy hands down is the Lil Zoomers race track.  You put cars in it, turn it on and they go around in a circle and then out of the track. It has been his favorite since he was 9 months old. It's interesting to watch and see what he puts in it: Sophie, his horsey lovey, the dog bowl, sippy cup, balls, everything goes round and round!

Right now her favorite toy is still books.  She loves opening and closing them and pointing to things asking me what it is.

She also really likes throwing balls (like bigger bouncy balls).

Other than that pretty much anything she plays with is non toys.

Em loves to play with learning toys, balls and bats, books, and a monster truck that she wouldn't put down at Once Upon a Child. We had to buy it!!

Right now Gavin loves books, an unplugged phone, & trucks. Gage loves his choo choo walker, that annoying walk & pop toy, & blocks.

They used to only entertain her for very short periods of time. Now she is just starting to be more interested. Her favorite toy is her My pal Violet. She also likes her Mozart cube and stacking cups.

This made me laugh because it's exactly the same in our house. If I sort clothes to do laundry, I come back to a pile and she's but it all back into the hamper - piece by piece. I'm starting to find random articles of clothing in the dryer now too. Such a little helper.

Jyles loves his little people farm as well! And is into books and trucks right now. His nontoy favorites are pots, tupperware containers and spatulas!
