Add your ideas and predictions for the 'must haves' here please!
Also any tips on things to make rather than buy etc suitable for this age group.
Thankyou.

PLAN TOYS Cone Sorting - Really well played with, nearly as much as the wooden work bench that i had in the 70's (you can still get them)!

my dd is 20 months and will be getting dollies, a dolly bed, dolly highchair and some teletubbies (can you tell i'm enjoying getting to play with girly toys!)

plenty of wrapping paper and boxes

wooden building bricks, dd still LOVES them now!

also a box of helium balloons!

I've seen the moving Iggle Piggle in woolworths and it is brilliant!
I stood for 5 mins watching it

£34.99, so not really a bargain but my ds1 was very taken with it.

My DD is going to be 1 at christmas and I have bought her a ride on/push along car thing from woolworths. Hers is Fifi and the flowertots but they have boys ones too. They are half price if you are quick £19.99 instead of £40! Hers plays music etc too. Seems great and is recomended for 12months+

The German company Haba do beautiful toys. I was looking for a link of a wobbly boat with a bell and a threader I bought for my nephew for his birthday and I found these beautiful building blocks.

I also like these cardboard igloos which I guess you could customise if you were feeling crafty:

Wow Lilyloo, they're really good value, I have ordered some.

Stacking cups, trundle truck with bricks.

Or a chair with baby's name on it. [http://www.catalogue.webbivory.co.uk/page.asp?b=WIFAW2008&p=168&o=1&link=menu like this]
