Books, legos, dolls, magnatiles, and the $5 bag of hotwheels I got at an estate sale last week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593337 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 07:12:48 +0000 irene 2593337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lego and the balance bike for us. DS (4.5 years old) played lego every single day since we got it for him at 1.5 years old! We are slowly transitioning from duplo to junior since about a year ago, and all of them are getting played at the moment. Worth every single penny :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593323 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 06:40:42 +0000 SweetiePie 2593323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 22 months and he loves his Thomas wooden train track and trains, his play stroller and baby, and he's finally really getting into his megablocks. </p> <p>For his 2nd bday in September I want to get magnatiles and extensions for his wooden train tracks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593321 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 06:35:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2593321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: yes my kids weren't into the play kitchen either. We kept the play food and they are happy to set all that up on the table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593316 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 05:41:11 +0000 lamariniere 2593316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: we bought that kitchen for my son when he was almost 2 and NO ONE plays with it! Makes me crazy. I'm still holding on to it for a few more years in case DD gets interested, but it mainly just sits there taking up space. :silly: </p> <p>Definitely Legos for my 5 yo son. For my 2.5 yo DD, it's hard to say. She loves her baby doll and princess dress and went through a big puzzle phase recently, but she doesn't seem to gravitate to the same thing over and over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593265 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:41:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2593265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: It's been so fun! I played them for HOURS on end as a kid. I love that he loves them now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593264 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:38:44 +0000 lilyofthewest 2593264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 mos - wagon, an old plastic bandaid box, anything/everything with wheels including the trash bins and the lawnmower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593253 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:21:31 +0000 fussygal 2593253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I can't wait to introduce real Legos to my kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593252 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:20:55 +0000 fussygal 2593252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: lol!

Wooden blocks- same. Cars of all shapes and sizes. And more recently Legos. (my boys are 3 and 5). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593211 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:14:48 +0000 catlady 2593211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Play kitchen has been the most played with by far (bought at age 1, now almost 3). More recently, building toys (magnatiles, duplos, and hape builder set) and toy piano. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593206 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:11:15 +0000 Aandmklover 2593206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both boys (2 &amp; almost 4) play all day with their Imaginext toys/playskool Heros toys. They are little figures for almost all superheroes and they also have tons of buildings and cars and stuff to go with them. </p> <p>They also love their Octonaut toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593192 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:03:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2593192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, it's legos. He's nearly 4.5 so he just got his first small lego se a couple months ago and he's hooked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593190 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:02:46 +0000 travellingbee 2593190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To demonstrate: I just asked him what his favorite toy is and he said "These". (A broken dart thingy that came from another kid and a toy dustbin) I said what are they and he made up some story about a bike cleaner. My kid is weird :silly: </p> <p>[attach=3175/16/oay88m.600x450.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593186 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:57:43 +0000 travellingbee 2593186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh my 3 year old just plays weird make believe games with random stuff. I don't know why we have toys. I could give him a stick, a string and a box and he'd have a blast making up some story with them. He does like Legos though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593180 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:50:13 +0000 Kemma 2593180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Hape play kitchen, Cozy Coupe, balance bike, Leap Frog teapot and picnic basket and a set of wooden dominos are probably our most popular toys </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593162 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:06:01 +0000 Alba4 2593162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 3 next month.

I want to get some for DD but I wonder if she's still a tiny bit young. She loves building though!</p> <p>@Cherrybee: Peppa was HUGE for DD for a long time, too! She only recently stopped playing with the figurines as much, but she still loves the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593065 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 15:51:58 +0000 Cherrybee 2593065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her Peppa Pig characters/house/vehicles. They get played with every day. A relative bought her a lovely dolls house for her birthday and, sure enough, the dolls were evicted and Peppa's family moved in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593063 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 15:48:26 +0000 mediagirl 2593063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Legos, little toy characters from movies, magnatiles, hot wheels, dolls, trucks.

He loves play doh and character action figures the most right now. With J (14 months old), he loves cars or anything with wheels on them. He loves Hot Wheels, trucks, or little push cars that zoom. Forget all of the cute babyish toys he has, it's all about the cars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2593009 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 14:28:30 +0000 snowjewelz 2593009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 19 months... I'd say the activity table. She has had it since she could pull up to stand (when is that, like 9-10 months??) But from like 14 mo on she's learning all the words/songs, etc. I had put it away for a while but she found it and still asks me to take it out all the time. </p> <p>The other thing is probably play kitchen too, I see this thing out for a long long time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2592999 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 14:19:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 2592999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E will be 4 in about 2 weeks, and his favorites are (in no order): magnet tiles, wooden train tracks/trains, and matchbox cars. And his balance bike :) </p> <p>G is 7 months, and really likes this Vtech cube thing...it sings and she starts to rock back and forth to the music :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-toys-get-the-most-mileage-from-your-lo#post-2592994 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 14:15:23 +0000 fussygal 2592994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD inherited an IKEA play kitchen and play food about five months ago and it's hands down her favorite thing to play with. It's usually the first thing she goes to each morning and she plays with it on and off throughout the day. It's almost to the point that she doesn't play with her other toys much! She's almost 2.5 and I can see her playing with it for a lot longer so I'm trying to keep it "fresh" by buying her new foods and accessories. </p>
