Recommendations for 18 month old

[catgirl2]

Hi there,

I'd like to buy my niece a toy for Christmas. She will be 18 months in Feb - does anyone have any recommendations? There's just so much out there!

Thank you

What's your budget? Dd will be 15 months at xmas.

She has a bounce and spin zebra, a buggy, a shopping trolley and a ride on car from when her brother was this age - she loves those.

For xmas she is getting:
Cirkustent from ikea
Pram
Wooden kitchen
Elephant squirty bath toy
Aquadraw
Megablocks farm
Baby annabel
Laughing teaset
Talking bus.

For dn who is 21m at xmas I've bought a little people plane, a set of driver dan books and a playdough set.

Thanks very much - some great suggestions! Going to get googling!

DD same age. I am looking at:

Playmobil 123 stuff
Wooden instruments
Happyland stuff from ELC
Aquadraw mat
Etch a sketch type toy
Bath toys

I'm not sure what your budget is,but we are getting our youngest (will be 18 months at Christmas), the ELC Happyland Cherry Lane Cottage.

These are similar and cheaper:

Fairy Toadstool Cottage

Goosefeather Farm

Rose Cottage

We got a few Happyland things for my eldest when she was about 18 months and she is over 2.5yrs now and she still plays with them everyday, I think they are excellent value because they don't get grown out of too quickly.
