Happy land dog and a talking mr tumble toy despite never having seen something special! Also loves the toot toot cars and small empty coke bottles.

13 month old boy.

Toot toot drivers parking garage and a wooden music set (tambourine, maracas, xylophone and drum), for our Ds (1).

Tomy squeaky sorting eggs, best £5 spent, she still loves them now at 21 months

I was going to say Tomy squeaky eggs but I see MJP1 has already got there! Seriously, total favourite for months, not too noisy, and will fit in a changing-type bag easily.

Stacking cups.

Best present we have ever had & which all visiting children from babies to 6 year olds love is a red wooden double decker bus with people inside.

oooh good thread - following xx

Playing with water, so water table or bath toys?

Toot Toot cars/stacking cups/T="Thats NOt My..." books/one of these ball drop tower things

1 year old DS

Anything that goes in and out of holes doors boxes etc
Anything with a boo (jack in a box)
Anything that makes a bloody racket
Garage with roundy roundy helter skelter road bit
Pressy buttons and noise toys especially if the same one can be pressed repeatedly and make a horrible noise

Dd 16 months

DS - stacking cups/boxes (the djeco solid cardboard stacking cubes are lovely), musical instruments particularly things with bells or shakers, board books, anything small with wheels that he can push along, duplo (though he just throws it atm), wheely bug

Anything with wheels or buttons to press (especially if they cause lights and noise). He's 1 in a week.

Oh and he also likes making as much noise as possible, so a drum would be his ideal present. But we're happy to just let him have a metal bowl occasionally :D

"That's not my"... and a set of 3 happyland emergency vehicles, that they don't seem to do any more, but you might get on ebay.

Boy/girl really doesn't matter at 1, surely?

YY squeaky eggs. Loved by my DD and now adored by DS.

Came on to say the Tomy 'hide and squeak eggs' both mine (girl and boy) loved those. I have kept them in a small box of baby toys, even though they are well beyond babies now. They still get used!

The other favourite was a 'treasure basket' I made with lots of sensory stuff in, and the most absolute favourite thing out of it was a plastic plug on a chain - that too is still in their toy box!

From 18 months or so - mini balance bike. Boy. Before that, car ride-on toy.

I bought some squeaky eggs from Amazon and some books, she likes books with flaps, can anyone suggest good ones like that? Gender doesnt matter Bertie no I was just wondering what if any differences or similarities.
Is it worth getting a ride along like a wheely bug or similar or a trike?
