Best toys for hyperactive 8 month old?

[barbiebostock]

My DS is constantly hyperactive and will not sit still for more that 2 seconds. He has quite a few toys, but nothing holds his attention. He is crawling and pulling himself up and starting to cruise the furniture a little bit. Can anyone recommend any toys which might be suitable for his age/level of constant activity as i can't afford to buy loads of things he had no interest in!?

I've got one of these for DD who is soon to be one. She's had it since she was about 7 months and it still holds her attention.

DS is an energetic 7 1/2 months and the 2 best toys i found to keep his interest are a graco activity centre - i bought mine on ebay for £6.50 and have attached some of his other toys using plastic links (£4 for 20 from asda) to change the variety.
Also he has a tippitoes doorway bouncer, which i hang from a beam outside (we are in france so is warm) and he can spend up to an hour in there - supervised - kicking around / bouncing etc. i also added a plastic paddling pool full of couloured balls for him to kick out and also sit in and play with

although i think a combination of the 2 would be a jumperoo - i think they can be about £40 on ebay.
