I'm heading out to the toy sales in a few hours to layby some toys for Alex for Christmas, but I'm not really sure what he'll be into in six months time!
Any suggestions? ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com">

Yeah a trike might be a good one. As it will be summer what about something for outside? Swing? Slide? (not sure how much they are) ------------- Lindsey

so we have got for Ella for Christmas...a playhouse, little people stuff (kmart had a good price on some little people building blocks), a doll, and we found from kmart a kids CD player with some CDs (she LOVES music). Also picked up an art easel which we have started using now. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

At 18 months old Ella got some Duplo (Lego) blocks, and they were really appropriate for that age - she loves them, and they look to be a favourite in the house. ------------- Andie |

| The best investment in toys for our boys were wooden coloured blocks and duplo/lego. They're the only thing I won't give away even though our youngest is 13 - he still pulls them out from time to time. |

Although I have two boys at 18 months, they were both really different. jake loved the duplo, wooden blocks and ride-ons. taine on the other hand loved those big Tonka trucks, tractors etc.
Musical toys were also big hits. We're going on a bear hunt - our favourite ever book and Brown Bear brown bear what do you see - were the most popular books for that age in our house. |
