Oh and his water table has been a huge hit. </p> <p>I'm planning on getting him a play kitchen for Christmas, and as much as he loves opening and closing things I think it'll be a hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-12-18mos-favorite-toys#post-1128885 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:48:42 +0000 birdofafeather 1128885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>loving all these ideas! thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-12-18mos-favorite-toys#post-1128761 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:19:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 1128761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Favorites:<br /> water table<br /> kitchen<br /> music table<br /> barn that makes animal sounds<br /> Zany Zoo activies cube (seriously she can't get enough of this!)<br /> Play remote/phone/ipad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-12-18mos-favorite-toys#post-1128726 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:11:03 +0000 sorrycharlie 1128726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so we're on the lower end of that spectrum butttt here are O's favorites!!</p> <p>-laugh and learn music table<br /> -laugh and learn home<br /> -stacking cups<br /> -zany zoo (I got this on a mom swap group for 15!!)<br /> -little people (and the sets)<br /> -books! board books, texture books, flap books, bath books<br /> -leapfrog picnic set<br /> -my pal violet<br /> -b. toys: keys, phone, blocks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-12-18mos-favorite-toys#post-1128633 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 11:41:37 +0000 Phillybaby2013 1128633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm following this!

We have a different barn, one with a silo, and she likes to dump the animals and farmer into it and pull them out of the bottom. :)</p> <p>Other good things: shape sorter, stacking blocks, play kitchen and play food, things to push around the house like a stroller or a grocery cart. OH and bouncing, riding toys. We have a rocking horse and a bouncy/rocking horse. She loves the ones that bounce and rock. They have these at daycare, too and all the kids in the 1's room love it - from 1 - 2 years old and I bet they would love it longer than that, too!!</p> <p>We are giving her megablocks for Christmas. I see she uses some like them at daycare so, I'm excited to get them to her to start playing with some at home!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-12-18mos-favorite-toys#post-1128474 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 10:56:23 +0000 photojane 1128474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: When could E actually use the Megabloks (i.e. "build" with them)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-12-18mos-favorite-toys#post-1128472 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 10:55:58 +0000 junebugmama 1128472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son loves his B toy drum and it's filled with lots of other instruments.

I won't share the wishlist - it's just a resource to pull from. I like that it gives me a place to put ideas when I think of them. People have already started asking about a Christmas list, and I'd love to have some ideas to give them!</p> <p>So, what are your 12-18-month-old's favorite toys? What do you recommend? </p>
