Toy recommendations for 15 month old

What toys would you recommend for a 15 month old? I feel like my daughter is bored of all of the toys she has and she needs some more educational toys or toys that will help her development. Or even just toys that are good fun!
Thanks x

Mine loves Duplo, stacking beakers, the broom, his spade, a ball, the tupperware, clothes pegs, and a ball run. At daycare he likes the wooden jigsaws with little handles on the pieces, but they have a big selection so they don't get boring.

Definitely duplo, easy to pick up a big box secondhand. Very simple jigsaws or a shape sorter with a fair range of shapes. You can get wee sets of 2 piece jigsaws, like four farm animals, each split into two pieces. A scuttlebug or other ride-on toy. Taste-safe sensory play, or closely supervised play in a sand pit or similar. A neighbour passed on a tiny little sand/water play table (tray slightly bigger than an A4 piece of paper tiny) that was great for young toddlers. We also filled it with snow one winter.

Mine also liked the 'home corner' at nursery by that age (which was earlier than I was expecting!), so a simple dolly and cot, play kitchen, etc., but some of those are bigger gifts that you might prefer to save for Christmas. The easy DIY version is something like a small pot, small wooden spoon, and a handful of uncooked pasta to bash about whilst you cook.

Activity table, lego duplo, megablocks, and simple puzzles

Anything open ended is good. Vehicles, dolls, blocks, duplo, stacking cups, shape sorters, balls, instruments, large softplay blocks.

Also do toy rotations so they don't have access to everything at once. Put things out for a week then swap it all so it's interesting again.

Magnet tiles, and they use them for years
