I'm looking to get a new toy (or two) for DD, to give to her when the new baby gets here. Preferably something for indoors, something she can play with independently, and one that will hold her attention for more than 5 seconds. What toys are your kids loving to play with right now?
We're probably getting her a small table and chairs so she can color, do stickers, etc. While that should keep her attention, I still need to watch her like a hawk with crayons, so I'm looking for an actual toy.
I'm thinking something along the lines of the Little People Zoo or Farm, but completely open to any and all suggestions. We're looking for something around $50, or under. Any recommendations are appreciated!!!
Re: Current favorite toys?
DS loooooves his cars. He plays with this a lot: https://www.fisher-price.com/en_US/brands/littlepeople/products/62181
There's a pink girly version, too, but I didn't see it on the FP website. My mom got it for my 2 year old niece at Christmas since she's also really into cars.
They have some bigger ones - I'm considering getting this one for DS for his birthday: https://www.fisher-price.com/en_US/brands/littlepeople/products/56423

I think the zoo or farm are also good ideas.
Oooh fun! I'll bet DD would LOVE the Stand n Play Rampway...and DH, too, haha! That's a definite possibility, thanks!!
We have the SnP Rampway. The boys play with that for a good while before they lose interest. I think it's a great suggestion.
Cars, Cars and Cars :-)
Also he has been into his two different cell phones. One is by fisher price and one is by Leap Frog.
We have a table and chairs for him and I highly recommend it.
We found a play kitchen at a consignment sale - best $40.00 I spent. I have it set up in her "area" with a table and chairs set and play food, tea set. It is honestly the only thing that has kept her attention longer than 5 minutes and it doesn't make any noise, she does play with her little people disney princess castle but the damn thing makes a lot of noises.
this is one is in your price range at Toys R Us https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11888597, you could probably find one at a yard sale or cosignment shop if you wanted a different one.
Thanks for all the suggestions!!! We are going to TRU one night soon to shop around, so this really helps a ton.
And Shanado, I had to laugh at the mixing bowls, because I was just saying to myself that I am sure I could really find plenty of non-toy items around the house to keep her amused. I just need to get creative!
