What will a 7-12 month old need?

[Sparklingcranberry]

Dd is very lucky and as the first baby on both sides has lots and lots of people hoping to buy her gifts for Christmas (she’ll be 7m)
can i please have suggestions of things that will be useful in the next few months. So far I’ve suggested stacking rings, bath toys, books, and clothes
what else might she like? Would she get any use out of a toddler tower before her birthday or should I wait?

A baby walker? Wooden one with bricks in it.

she can still play with the bricks until ready to push it. My LO has and still plays with the bricks! And uses the walker as a trolley or push chair for teddies.
v tech crawl ball?
stacking cups have been one of the best gifts ever! My LO is 2.5 and still uses them all the time , currently in the toy kitchen, or for hiding things etc or just whatever. They are a long lasting toy!

Oh and wooden music set!
my LO was 7 months first Christmas and that was one of the gifts that also still gets used alot (came with symbols, wooden drum, xylophone, maracas, bells etc - could always get the instruments separately )

DD had a play table at that age. It was Fisher Price or V-tech. You could take the legs off until they're pulling up and then they have various buttons to press and pull and things.
The chase & grow ball popper was a hit too.

Clothes 6 months up and 12 months up. It’s fab to have something in the wardrobe for the day you say to yourself that moving up just has to happen.

Books. Older books have better grammar.

Wet weather gear is in season now. Buy now in the right size for next autumn. Good to have in the wardrobe. Puddle suits and the like.
