It's so inexpensive (for playhouses) at $269. Seriously thinking of buying it for lo and saving it for her 2nd birthday! </p> <p>My ds loved his kitchen, he played with until he was 4. I can't remember how much we paid for it. We bought a Peg Perego John Deere ride on Gator for his 2nd birthday ($360) and 8 years later all the kids still love it! They have it at costco right now too! Oh and he played with his train table for the longest time, I'd say 6 years, it was from costco too. I may have a problem!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-132121 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:00:14 +0000 banana 132121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our son got a Step 2 mini jungle gym for his birthday and he LOVES it. He climbs on it, slides down the slide, hides underneath,...I placed a blanket over it and he loves hiding out in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99795 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 02:52:57 +0000 looch 99795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up to this point, it's been the Fisher Price laugh and learn table. He loves it, he thinks it is his turntables, lol.</p> <p>I want to get him one of those big playhouses, the ones that have the kitchen inside this summer. I think that will be a huge hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99761 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 23:45:13 +0000 Mrs. Train 99761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a kitchen too and my three boys love it. In addition to that I think the Thomas wooden railways are well worth their money. They are the sturdiest toys I Have ever bought. I got a bunch from my sister (after her three kids had finished with them) and they were perfectly fine. They are crazy expensive but worth the money!! My pet peeve is plastic junk that breaks in 10 minutes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99757 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 23:12:46 +0000 Sha 99757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: nice, thanks! i was worried he might outgrow it too fast, but it sounds like it'll be good for a while </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99749 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:24:45 +0000 lemondrop 99749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far this has been a lifesaver, Cam loves to hit and kick things, and it will hopefully still interest him when he is sitting up too. I can put him in it while he is screaming, next thing I know he is smiling and playing. </p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/Fisher-Price-Discover-N-Grow-Kick-Play-Piano-Gym/-/A-13474602#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/Fisher-Price-Discover-N-Grow-Kick-Play-Piano-Gym/-/A-13474602#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink</a></p> <p>I was going to buy a gym that they lay under, but read so much about only getting a little use out of them before they grow out of them. This one is so underrated IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99748 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:22:44 +0000 heffalump 99748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo's favorite toy so far is a cheap little rattle. She'll hold onto that thing for hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99747 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:19:10 +0000 Mrs. Bee 99747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: yup he played with it as soon as we got it. he pulled up to stand on it, cruised on it, LOVED opening and closing all the doors. Now he cooks on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99745 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:11:50 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 99745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Did Charlie show interest in it that early? I have been eyeballing one but didn't know if it was a bit premature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99743 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:05:35 +0000 Andrea 99743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sha: It is a Step 2! We bought it at Toys R Us. When older kids come over, they love going on it, too. These are 5 year olds so I'm happy that the LO will probably play with it for years and years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99742 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:04:40 +0000 cupcakemama 99742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO loves the play kitchen as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99740 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:01:00 +0000 Sha 99740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Which mini slide do you have? I'm considering getting the Step 2 - LO played with it at a friend's house and lloooooooved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99736 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:31:53 +0000 Andrea 99736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the play kitchen and mini slide so far. We've been using both for over a year now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99729 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:23:45 +0000 Rubies 99729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, Sophie the Giraffe! LO is almost 8 months old and still loves that thing. Haha. I'm always on the lookout for a good toy for her... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-your-single-best-toy-purchase#post-99728 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:22:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 99728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our play kitchen for sure. Got it at 9 months and Charlie still plays with it pretty much every day. Definitely got our money's worth!</p> <p>What about you? </p>
