What does your 15mo old like playing with?

[lobsters]

I'm wondering if we need to get DD who is nearly 15mo some new toys, any good ideas?

Today she has enjoyed emptying my handbag, ripping up (slowly and methodically) a tissue, playing with iPhones, laptops and remotes and digging up dirt in the garden.

The only toys she has really played with is her wooden blocks (he enjoys dumping them out the box, them putting them all back in) and her books.

Any tips of things she might enjoy?

Doll's pushchair
Ball
ELC whizz around mountain
Dustbuster/similar handheld hoover (this is a good one )
Foam from the washing up in a plastic pot and spare washing up brush
Wooden spoon and pans
Books with actions, noises, textures etc
Trike
Water in a washing up bowl in the garden
Aquadraw
Tea set (great in the bath)
Stacking rings
Wooden jigsaws

HTH

Tea set
A small bucket that she collect everything in!
Books
Aquadraw
4 plastic piplins that came free with a magazine are her ultimate favourite
Bag for life from elc

Anything she isn't meant to have!

DS is almost 15 months and has every toy going - courtesy of some very competitive grandparents - but prefers to play with:
Emptying my make up bag
saucepans
Mixing bowls
wooden spoons
shampoo bottles at bath time
remote controls
Phones (which he holds against his ear and shouts eeh-oo)
Opening the door to the washing machine, then closing it
Coasters

The only baby stuff he plays with are his train, blocks and books. He has 3 walkers (see above re Grandparents) yet prefers to push the laundery basket around the kitchen.

DD2 is 16 months.

Today she has been enjoying:

trying out her big sister's scooter. She is getting quite good at staying on now, if only she could get it to move.

Whizzing around the house on her ride on car.

A pastry brush

Anything dd1 wants to play with.

She loves baby dolls too.

We have a lot of toys but she seems to prefer to be on the go quite a lot of the day rather than sitting playing. She will spend a few minutes with a crayon and paper or Playdo but gets bored easily.

Thanks for all the tips, she seems to like the dolls at toddler group, so might get her one. Aquadraw sounds good too.

Bambino- i think you have my DD's secret twin, including the competitive grandparents, we too have 3 baby walkers. And now DD is walking they're a bit redundant. Competitive aunties add to the toy pile.

PS where is the dustbuster/ hoover from?

Curry's! I mean like a normal handheld hoover, not a toy one. DS loves it and gets upset when the batteries run out. (They last about 10 mins - has a base charge unit - which is fine - I don't want him playing with it all the time in case he breaks it) It's also useful for all the stuff that toddlers spill which invariably gets trampled everywhere, but isn't worth getting the main hoover out for every 5 minutes.

Cheaper in Argos than Curry's though I think.
