He will receive a Grimm stacker and activity cube- B Zany Zoo plus two other things that aren't really toys. Does your LO have an exersaucer? We started using the Oribel Portaplay and so far LO likes it. It doesn't have any noisy electronic components. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-electronic-toys-for-6-12-month-olds#post-2638431 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 11:31:22 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2638431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 9-month old's favorite toys right now are his touch and feel books, the mini piano and the B Parum Pum Pum drum set. </p> <p><a href="http://www.mybtoys.com/toys/lively/parum-pum-pum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mybtoys.com/toys/lively/parum-pum-pum/</a><br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Schylling-MRP-Mini-Red-Piano/dp/B000ELQV5I" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Schylling-MRP-Mini-Red-Piano/dp/B000ELQV5I</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-electronic-toys-for-6-12-month-olds#post-2638408 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 11:15:39 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2638408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD really likes these cars too:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0141J632E/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1476807310&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SX200_QL40&#038;keywords=melissa+and+doug+emergency+vehicle+set&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41fplvpWH7L&#038;ref=plSrch" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0141J632E/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1476807310&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SX200_QL40&#038;keywords=melissa+and+doug+emergency+vehicle+set&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41fplvpWH7L&#038;ref=plSrch</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-electronic-toys-for-6-12-month-olds#post-2638405 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 11:13:52 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2638405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This egg shape sorter</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00068Q7LC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1476807151&#038;sr=8-2&#038;pi=SX200_QL40&#038;keywords=egg+shape+sorter&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41DTdTDZnAL&#038;ref=plSrch" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00068Q7LC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1476807151&#038;sr=8-2&#038;pi=SX200_QL40&#038;keywords=egg+shape+sorter&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41DTdTDZnAL&#038;ref=plSrch</a></p> <p>Melissa and Doug chunky puzzle </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000E9DPCW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1476807196&#038;sr=8-2&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&#038;keywords=melissa+and+doug+puzzle" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000E9DPCW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1476807196&#038;sr=8-2&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&#038;keywords=melissa+and+doug+puzzle</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-electronic-toys-for-6-12-month-olds#post-2638390 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 11:02:52 +0000 nana87 2638390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a gift on the bigger side, We got lo a zany zoo around that age and it was a big hit, and at 2.5 she still breaks it out sometimes!

We got all of these 3-4 years ago with my first, and they're all still in use with both him and now my second. Have definitely stood the test of time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-electronic-toys-for-6-12-month-olds#post-2638364 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:48:39 +0000 peaches1038 2638364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Melissa and Doug alligator walker and it's a big hit. DS also loves blocks, cars, Melissa and Doug chunky puzzles, Melissa and Doug animal magnets, balls, books and stacking toys. At 11 months, he's not really into stuffed animals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-electronic-toys-for-6-12-month-olds#post-2638360 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:45:09 +0000 Bao 2638360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blocks, duplos, shape sorter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-electronic-toys-for-6-12-month-olds#post-2638359 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:43:30 +0000 erinbaderin 2638359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ordered sound blocks from a recommendation on the blog and I'm really excited for them. Hape and Plan Toys make a lot of nice wooden things. A walker? We have a Hape wooden walker that was a big hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-electronic-toys-for-6-12-month-olds#post-2638353 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:28:00 +0000 raspberries 2638353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything to do with stacking or nesting was a big hit at that time for our DS - cups that fit in each other, stacking rings, rings that click together. DS is almost 15 months now, and he still plays with all of those on a daily basis, but we've added Duplos now and he loves those as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-electronic-toys-for-6-12-month-olds#post-2638351 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:17:42 +0000 atoz 2638351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What non-electronic toys would you recommend for a 6-12 month old? Our LO will be 7 months at Christmas and family is starting to ask us for gift ideas. </p> <p>So far, all of our toys have been gifted or handed down to us (activity gym, stuffed animals, finger puppets, o ball, rattles, etc.). I'm trying to avoid a ton of toy clutter, so I'd love to hear what play items your LO loved at that stage! (I'd also be curious to hear if they stood the test of time.) :grin: </p>
