Toys recommendations for an 8 month old

Can anyone recommend toys you've had success with for an 8 month old? My little one is not quite sitting unaided yet and seems to be at an inbetween age where they're too grown up/not interested in some toys but not quite ready for some of the more advanced ones just yet and I worry about about boredom or not getting enough enrichment. We have a playmat, walker, musical toys, grabby and sensory toys.

I find Emma Hubbard on YouTube very helpful. She's an Australian Paediatric O.T. and has 3 children so she's very experienced. Some of her videos are toy recommendations for different age groups up until 18 months and she not only recommends different types of toys but tells you how to use them. HTH

The Fat Brain spinning tower was a huge hit for mine. So were the Tickit sensory buttons. We also loved the Lovevery toys for the first year. My baby still plays with all these at 14 months
