DD was 18 mo at Xmas last year and loved her kitchen, cozy coupe, balance bike, little tikes slide and basketball hoop. She still uses the slide a lot, not as much the h basketball hoop, kitchen, or cozy coupe. She hasn’t liked the strider bike and prefers her tricycle. She got a doll stroller recently and loves it. I’m giving her the Tonie box this year. I don’t think it would have been practical last year because her attention span was too short. She got a ball pit and little tikes activity garden cottage for her 1st bday and still plays with them. |
Little wooden cars, nice farm/other animals figures to play with. |
Empty box with wrapping paper. Balls. Books. Playdoh maybe. Blocks or duplo |
This inexpensive “pop to play” one actually that folds and fits under the couch! (Although we pretty much leave it out all the time as she uses it so much.) it’s shockingly sturdy. https://www.amazon.com/WowWee-Toddler-Playground-Eco-Friendly-Cardboard/dp/B08P3VPV6X/ref=asc_df_B08P3VPV6X/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=508010427257&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4326026569435330877&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008192&hvtargid=pla-1215951555772&psc=1 |
I forgot to mention that DD also got a wagon like this and still loves it: https://www.amazon.com/Toddlers-Montessori-Educational-Preschool-Learning/dp/B098NCLFGD/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=NSZNGJ8RITDG&keywords=montessori+farm+wagon&qid=1699230335&sprefix=montessori+farm+wagon%2Caps%2C61&sr=8-2 |
Thanks everyone! These are all super helpful. |
Yep ^^ . My kid played with a gift bag stuffed with tissues papers non stop and carried it with him everywhere. |
