Recommendations for toys for 18 month old?

Looking for recommendations for toys for my 18 month old daughter. Tried doing colouring with her, but she either just tries the chew the colouring bits or gets bored, doesn’t like building blocks, she has a play kitchen but won’t play with that longer then maybe 5 mins? She enjoys tidying things in and out of boxes/tubs, so anything vaguely related to that maybe 😂 we got her busy books for when we are out but she’s bit bored by those now! Feel like it’s a tough age as she can’t grasp puzzles etc yet, so feel bit stuck 🤪

Should also note I’m looking for inside things, and preferably things she can happily play with on her own!

My DS is 16 months and loves his train set, duplo and toy kitchen! He can’t reach all of the kitchen properly but likes putting bits in and out of the cupboards.

Magnatiles, stacking/nesting cubes, pop-up men, wooden trainset, ball/balloon, baby doll, toy animals, peg jigsaws (look at Montessori single shape ones, they're very simple), musical instruments, little cars, pull/push along wooden toys and a treasure basket of random household gubbins.
