Present Ideas for a 10 Month Old (compact)

[JellySnakesLadderedTights]

Looking for ideas for presents for DS. He will be 10 months at Christmas.
We live in a very small flat, so we can't get things that will take up a lot of space.

TIA

I really appreciate all the suggestions

Clr2014 - I know you linked to a Rainbow Aquadoodle in your post, but I just wanted to let you know that Toys R Us do a Winnie the Pooh version -It's £9.99.

I got my dd a wooden Noah's Ark shape sorter at about that age.it It's a nice looking thing, quite compact, and she still plays with it now (in a more narrative-based way) at 2.5.

My eleven month old loves a glove with a different animal on each finger that you use for singing old macdonald. Several times a day he gets it from the toy box and brings it to me to sing.

DS had one of these given to him when he was born. It hangs above his changing mat and, 2 years on, he still absolutely loves it. Though he has moved on from simply watching it bounce about to trying to ping it at my face as I change him...

Thank you, everybody!

I love, love, love planning all this stuff for Christmtas. Was thinking of buying some Wow toys as although ds might not benefit from them straight away, they are something that will last for a long time, and we can add to them over the next few years.

Also have seen some plastic skittles in Elc which officially are for 12 months plus.

Was thinking of buying some plastic zoo animals.

Just thought I would add this, in case other people are using this thread for inspiration

He might be a bit young for it but can highly recommend Melissa and Doug latches board. Think DS2 was about 15 months the christmas he got it. Its completely flat so won't take up much space and it kept him amused for ages.

It's basically all sorts of bolts and twisty things for them to open and there are pictures underneath the doors.

You must get this Djeco stacking boxes with animals.

Both my DSs have absolutely loved this toy. The animals are really good for teething, it has worn really well despite being played with a huge amount. They have been used to make towers, pretend farms etc. They are good for teaching colours, shapes and numbers. And they all stack away into the largest cube.

Thanks gertrude have ordered that for baby DD, looks fab.

Oh, those stacking boxes are lovely!

You can also get stuff that you would buy anyway and wrap it up - winter clothes, hats & scarves, bath stuff, stuff for the nursery e.g. pictures, rugs,
wonder if I can get away with the next stage car seat as an Xmas gift-

Don't forget a Christmas outfit as well
