I am leaning toward the cutting food toy that @mediagirl: suggests, but I am reading the reviews, and people are saying the paint chips off and all. Argh! </p> <p>@skibobrown: Ditto on the book! The storyline doesn't seem to matter anymore - at bedtime I'd ask LO to pick a book to read and he always pick that "matching" book where there are multiple pictures of objects, so I get to "quiz" him on what is what at our bedtime storytime. What a weirdo lol</p> <p>@banana: My LO loves mega blocks too! One of the best toy purchases we made :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-for-your-15-2-year-old#post-1090026 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:06:45 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1090026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 2. He has a play kitchen, nothing girly about it! He is also into trucks/trains/cars, puzzles, books of all kinds, balls -- all the normal stuff. He loves the cutting food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-for-your-15-2-year-old#post-1090017 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:03:50 +0000 lemondrop 1090017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: that's hilarious and adorable! I lol'ed. </p> <p>We just ordered a realistic baby doll off Amazon to get him used to the idea of being gentle with a baby and not throwing it through the basketball hoop ;) </p> <p>We are planning to do a play kitchen at Christmas when he's closer to 2, he just doesn't seem quite ready for it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-for-your-15-2-year-old#post-1089984 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 11:51:06 +0000 T-Mom 1089984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS just turned 2 and his favorite toy right now is his Thomas the Train wooden trains. Also, he hasn't ever fed any of our baby dolls. He just pushes them around in the doll stroller, and today I caught him giving the baby doll a kiss after yelling "sit down!" oops wonder where he got that from... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-for-your-15-2-year-old#post-1089972 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 11:47:26 +0000 banana 1089972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At around that age, my son loved mega blocks and puzzles of all kinds. And he surprisingly really loved his toy stroller. He liked pushing around his cars in it. :) In terms of pretend play, I don't think you necessarily need pretend play toys for him to do it. My son used to pretend to feed his cars with cheerios or pretend to put his soft animals to sleep by covering them with a blanket. You can have fun with pretend play with ordinary household items! The Little People toys are always a hit at around that age. And it helps engage in pretend play too. My son loved the Little People school bus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-for-your-15-2-year-old#post-1089816 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 10:58:24 +0000 mediagirl 1089816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @irene: I like the idea of cutting food!

If all we had was a ball, he wouldn't need anything else. We have the Little Tykes basketball hoop that hangs over the door- favorite. toy. ever. </p> <p>Also any board book that show pictures of animals and their names (no story involved, but I do the noises). He loves these books, but they do get old to us after "reading" them for the 6th time in an hour! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-for-your-15-2-year-old#post-1089802 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 10:53:31 +0000 looch 1089802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about some cutting food, to practice dexterity?</p> <p>Another thing I really like was the Plan Toys Nuts and Bolts, I got them on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-for-your-15-2-year-old#post-1089801 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 10:52:49 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1089801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had a suggestion for this but I'm curious myself. Instead, I'm commenting on the feeding the doll phenomenon. I got DS a set of play food when he was 18 months and a doll at 18 months. He hasn't tried to feed the doll but he's pretended to eat the banana (which is felt) several times. Does this count? ;)</p> <p>ETA: DS does like a truck set I picked up for him at IKEA a lot. It has a little crane with a magnet and he likes to pick the blocks off the trailer with it! He also enjoys sorting the correct blocks (red triangles, blue squares, yellow circles) into their correct slots. Maybe your DS would like something like this?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/IKEA-MULA-Crane-Blocks-Beech/dp/9177122062/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1379346755&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=ikea+wooden+toy+truck" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/IKEA-MULA-Crane-Blocks-Beech/dp/9177122062/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1379346755&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=ikea+wooden+toy+truck</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-for-your-15-2-year-old#post-1089787 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 10:47:52 +0000 skibobrown 1089787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now -- just shy of 18 months -- DD likes:<br /> - All books, but especially picture books where I can say a word and she can point at the picture and try to repeat the word<br /> - A little bumble bee pull along toy - she pulls the string and the bumble bee buzzes and rolls along behind her<br /> - Soft blocks -- we don't have any at home, but they have these big soft stackable blocks at daycare that she's obsessed with. She can build them into a tower that is taller than she is!<br /> - Any kind of balls, but especially bouncy balls </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-for-your-15-2-year-old#post-1089784 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 10:46:57 +0000 pelikila 1089784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A Fisher Price Corn Popper was (and still is) a favorite for my son at that age. In reference to a kitchen and play food, yes my son has both.

My LO is almost 20 months and I need to expand his "toy collection"... and I am $3 shy of free shipping at Amazon lol </p> <p>(my budget isn't $3, I just need to buy another toy or two :-))</p> <p>Another question for mothers of boys is, does your LO have a play kitchen or play food...etc.? I read that "feeding a doll" is a milestone by 18 months (?) But we don't have pretend food for him to feed the dolls, so I have never seen him doing the pretend feeding. I wonder if other boys have that as I always assume play kitchen / tea set is for girls...</p> <p>Suggestions please! </p>
