I joined a local moms group and have been enjoying going to playdates at other people's homes. I'd love to host a get together at my house, but I have mostly baby toys (see photos) and board books, so I am worried the toddlers would be bored. Does anyone know whether these toys would interest toddlers? Any ideas for inexpensive toys or activities that would keep the older babies/toddlers busy?

I do have a fenced backyard and nice deck, so we could hang out outside if it's nice... but I don't have any outdoor toys. I was thinking I could maybe buy some cheap balls and a tunnel, but would that keep them entertained? Any other ideas?

**I have a cheap kitchen I got for $5 at a yard sale, but I need to get play food, etc. - I have noticed that the toddlers seem to like that kind of thing!
