What do 12-18 month old girls tend to like doing??

[PutThatInYourPipeandSmokeIt]

I want to make a christmas pressie for a friends little girl based around what she's likely to like doing over the next 6 months or so. She will be one just before christmas. I'm after the types of things they like doing rather than pressie ideas!!!! e.g. putting things in containers / tea parties etc....!

My dd is 18 months old and she loves to put her dolls to bed on the floor with a pillow and blanket and feed them with a cup and spoon from a tea set.
I bought her some washable crayons and some stickers lately and she loves to draw. I help her with the stickers and we make pictures to give dh when he comes home.
I have an old box of paper back books that she loves to pack and unpack.
She loves anything that involves water too.

OMG Suiledonn- I think we have the same dd LOL!
Why can't they put the babies to bed on cushions on the sofa???

Mine also loves playing shopping, with her doll buggy, and a bucket for a shopping bag, Primo lego bricks, play cooking, and football (esp with balloons)

The same things as 12-18mth old boys like doing....

lol eachpeach - Isn't it funny the way some little girls just love their dolls. As a child I was never interested in dolls at all but dd has loved them since she was tiny. She is such a mother to them, walking them in their pram, feeding them etc. Of course every now and then she gets the urge to swing them around by the hair!

Pushing (trollies, buggies etc.) or climbing. that's all my dd was interested in at that age

Bubbles - whether the blowing kind or the bucket full of water and washingup-liquid swished about in it. Mucking about in bubbly water (thank God she hit that age in the summer time so I could put it outside!)

Putting the dolls/toys to bed (face down, tea-towels over them or wet wipes if she got her hands on them!), pushing stuff, climbing, stickers, painting/chalking, playdough/soft stuff, being read to, balls, her mini trampolene and slide.

Trying on shoes- any she finds around the house- quite cute seeing her tottering about in big brother's football boots.
