What are you getting your 18 month old for Christmas?

[Florencenotflo]

I'm really stuck for dd2. She'll be 16 months by December, but Dd1 is nearly 5 and we've kept all her old toys, so dd2 really doesn't need anything.

I know she won't know any different but I really want to get her at least a couple of new toys. We have all of dd1's happyland toys, board books and puzzles, interactive toys, ride on toys. I'm just stuck! I'm hoping someone can suggest something I've not thought of!

Mine loved those cheap wooden train sets.

Do you have

Playmobil 123
Wooden train set
Aquadoodle

All big hits with mine

Light up spiky bouncy balls were a hit with my two, plus a cheap inflatable paddling pool blown up with ball pool balls was a great distraction to open and play with on Xmas morning. Magnetic building blocks? Also heard good things about Leapfrog ice cream cart.

Watching with interest although we have the added problem that the dog eats everything!

Play mobile 123
Happy land
Grimms rainbow (although expensive)
Aqua doodle

Thank you, we do already have most of what's been suggested. I'll have a look at the magnetic building blocks though and the playmobil 123!

@LikeSilentRaindrops the ice cream cart is good. Dd1 got one a few years ago and she still plays with it every week. Dd2 loves it as well.

A small rocking horse, a ride on police car, some vetec sets, some of them colouring sets with invisible ink, a train set, some Thomas & peppa pig bits x

Maybe one of the Oribel Vertiplay toys - they stick on the wall and are a bit different to the usual offerings. Do you have a Grimms Rainbow? I know it’s seen as a bit of a clichéd “crunchy eco” toy by some but ours is played with constantly by our 18 month old.

A play kitchen, baby doll and some books, plus some little stocking things like spinning tops and bubbles

We've got DS a sock puppet and some mega bloks

My DS is 18 months, he’s got

• a slide for the garden
• toy kitchen
• kitchen accessories (wooden ones)
• a train set
• some books & toy cards.
• a hey duggee teddy

And some bath crayons, books and a small chocolate lolly pop for his stocking.
