Favorite Toddler Toys/Activities

[aydee]

It's been a while since we've done this.

What are your LO's enjoying recently? Any favorite toys or fun things to do?

Sandbox and water table / bucket and spade for sand
Pompoms and containers/things with holes to stuff them in.
Removing and replacing cards in my wallet.
Magnets on the fridge
Drawing and painting

Toy-wise we haven't had anything new since their play kitchen, but they're not that into it just yet. They play with it here and there but I think they're just a wee bit too young still.
Mostly just getting them books and flashcards -- holy smokes do they love flashcards.

Abigail just learned to string beads onto a pipe cleaner. I'm a bit shocked she can do it. She's pretty damned proud of herself.

Favorite activities include picking dandelions outside, walking up and down stairs like a big girl, coloring with crayons, and painting when I let her.

She is far more interested in her siblings' toys than her own and likes to push the doll stroller, shopping cart, and her brother's garbage truck around the house.

She also gets very excited about buckling the buckles on her high chair and the chest clip on her car seat.

I'd love to find some toys that keep her busy, although realistically I'd probably be better off giving her a pot and a spoon from the kitchen.

aydee, A loves to buckle herself into her highchair and carseat too! She caught her fingers in it once, and now makes a big show of getting them out of the way before it clicks.

A loves her dollhouse (she pushes all the little people out thru the door, then turns it around and pushes them back in).

And her "Minnie yegos". Seriously, I think the Legos may be her favorite thing ever.

Flashcards are also a big hit.

And pushing her baby doll around the house in her stroller.

Daycare has a scooter and a Maui doll (from Moana) that she has claimed ownership of.

Tupperware. Dude loves pulling it out and putting it back in the cabinet. He is now opening drawers and putting random pieces in. If he can get in tyr grudge when its open he'll throw a container in there. He also loves opening and closing the different types of lids.

+ whatever to the sandbox/water table combo, but we just use the whole thing as a sandbox.

They also both fight over the John Deere tractor.

All types of cars - VTech Smart Wheels, DH's old matchbox cars, and the kind you can pull back and they'll go on their own. Mostly lining them up or pushing them off the edge of surfaces onto the floor. "Boomies!"

He also loves his wooden Hape alphabet and number puzzles - mostly taking them out, telling us the letter/number, shoving them into a shape sorter box, then dumping them out and putting them back in the puzzle. Rinse and repeat.

He has a set of gardening tools that he likes to play with when my mom is outside working in our garden, as well as his own toddler-sized Adirondack chair he can get in and out of.

Anyone's cell phone where he can watch YouTube videos of lawn mowers and the alphabet.
