What toys are your LOs playing with now?

DD spends like 90% of her time outside now, mostly because there doesn't seem to be much for her to do indoors (except for watch TV!). I think she is outgrowing/has outgrown a lot of her toys. What indoor toys are your LOs playing with now?

CnAnA · June 2014

Alice's favorites seem to be her push popper thing, her toy tractor, and her trampoline. She also LOVES all her Little People setups. She has the barn, house, and princess castle. She loves to sit on all the things, so her chair and bean bag are another big hit. We also have nesting/stackable wooden blocks that are a huge hit. It's these https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Wooden-Animal-Nesting/dp/B00146LV70 Seriously, best gift ever. And any and all books. ALL the books. or things that look like books. Or things that look like something that may resemble a book. All. The. Books.

She loves puzzles! Probably her favorite right now. She will sometimes play with her blocks. And push around her cart. We also have a little tikes slide that we can have inside or outside. Most of our time is spent outside though.

Oh, this is a good idea. C doesn't play with anything. She just runs amok and destroys stuff. I want to find something she can climb on but small enough to keep in her room. She likes books and the push popper thing, but only being chased with it. And she steals all the baby's toys to "play" with ( play= yell "mine!" And cry when the baby uses it)

DS loves cars, trucks, construction vehicles. We have a whole fleet of different sizes. He will play with his toy cars and trucks forever if I let him.

We also have a tool bench, a 2-storey fire house, a play kitchen, FP little people barn, little people garage. He plays with those for shorter periods - he mostly just runs his cars and trucks into/on top of these other toys.

He had a puzzle phase about a month ago but now not so much. Duplos still a bit advanced for him. He mostly just takes them apart but can't quite put them back together.

He's not into painting yet (finger paint or crayons).

In his room he has the FP laugh and learn home. We've had it for over a year now and DS still plays with it.

My strategy these days is: we go out in the morning, then go out again after his nap. The only time he gets to play with his indoor toys is around 5:30p. He misses his toys so much that he'll (usually) play independently then, so I can cook dinner in peace.

FWIW, I do rotate his toys and put some away for weeks/months at a time.

We also do a lot of books (I SAH) - in the morning, before nap, sometimes before dinner, and before bedtime. He's grown tired of his books so we go to the library once a week to get new books.

When inside Emma loves books, her pop up tent, coloring, play doh, the Disney Princess klip klop castle, playing with magnets and tending to her baby dolls.

Henry also reeeeaaaally loves playing outside. We have a push car that he rides in that is his absolute favorite. For inside toys, he loves his cars, his wooden pull-along frog, and his Little People barn. He loves to dance, so anything that makes music is great. My grandmother bought him some foam blocks and shapes from MOMA that are a big hit. He also loves jumping on the couch and rooting through Nora's infant toys. Oh, and hangers. He loves those.

This hot wheels track set

She also loves to color, read books, and play with her stuffed animals or baby dolls. She went through her whole bed time routine with two dalmatian puppies and a plush troll doll (all three my old toys) this weekend, including throwing them over the crib rail and patting them on the back. I could barely contain my laughter.

Wesley loves being outside too! especially when water is involved. For inside play he loves his pop up tent, crawl tunnel into the ball pit, his walker toys he has the rocket ship from little einsteins that has been his favorite toy recently, books, his foam bath toys, and he has a few cars and little trucks that he likes to throw around. He loves to color as well. He also loves the wooden train set with tracks from Ikea.

Alex loves his little Fisher-Price basketball and hoop. He'll make baskets with anything -- shoes, blocks, books, anything handy. He has a boy's shopping cart (it is blue/grey) and dump truck in which he pushes toys around. He has a kiddy piano that he sits at and plays music like Schroeder from Peanuts. Funny. He's also into looking at his books.

LexiSophie55 · June 2014

Anything with wheels. Tractors, trucks, trains, etc. We push them around and hook them up for hours.

He won't sit for a book...still. I'm having issues with that.

DS is getting more into books. He likees to build mega blocks and do his his shape sorter and he LOVES this new toy he got as a gift. It might be one of his favorites. And it actually keeps his attention for more than 5 minutes which is very unusual.

Ashley is really into coloring and play dough. She colors on coloring books, cardboard boxes and i got a giant poster board which she filled up pretty fast. She is also into dress up and getting all her stuffed animals and making a bed for them or driving them around in her wagon. Oh and stickers!

PixelPosy · June 2014

The poor dogs get loved on the most. She is obsessed with coloring and stickers. Melissa & Doug make a reusable sticker book that uses clings and we'll make a picture together with those. She loves to dump things out of one container and into another, so we have quite a few buckets for her to do that with (cheap ones from the $1 section at Target). She is obsessed with my 31 large tote and will empty it out and sit in it and ask for rides. She's sorta out-grown this, but an old favorite was this multi-buckle backpack toy. She's too fast at it now, but it use to keep her occupied for forever. But really if she had free reign she'd just use the iPad to find inappropriate videos on YouTube.

DS is into his duplos. It really makes the mega blocks easy by comparison. He loves to read and look at his board books. Also a fan of the Little People barn set. And crayons are the bomb.com. Probably because he doesn't get to color often.

Outdoors he is all about the water. He has a solo cup that he uses to help water the plants. He also has chalk that he likes to color with. He will play with bubbles for a while, too.

CnAnA · June 2014

Overall I think alice has a healthy mix. She loves her John deere tractor more than her princess castle, but put Sofia's face on something and she goes nuts over it. I do let her choose colors when there are options, and 90% of the time she chooses pink on her own.

Emma loves her tractor and trucks too!

Today C entertained herself for about a half hour with tissue paper and bows from presents. I probably shouldn't bother with toys.
