christmas shopping - toys for 18 month old

4 replies

I've started my christmas list for my toddler and really looking for some recommendations. They will be 18 months old, at the moment very into books, animal toys, pig money bank and still enjoying cause and effect toys but obviously they change so much in a couple of months!
Looking for toys suitable for 18 months but can grow into too so up to 2 years. I tend to try and avoid plastic toys (we do have plastic toys just personal preference, my house is still very much full of plastic toys!)
what toys did you kids love at this age?

My son is 18 months he loves to post things in little gaps so I brought him a post box toy it's Peppa pig and wooden. He also has a melissa and Doug puzzle that makes animal noises when you put the puzzle pieces in their place. These are Christmas presents so he hasn't got them yet but I'm sure he'll love them.

Crayons, wooden puzzles, play food, books, animal figures, simple duplo set (plastic but long lasting), wooden bus with little people, car carrier (eg Melissa and Doug).
