The one year olds in the Jan/Feb thread love the Little People sets .. they have sets designed for 1-3 year olds and 2-4 year olds so they should last for ages.
You can pick up the smaller sets for under $50.00 (the bigger sets go for about $100.00) Here is Isabelle with her Little People .. from left to right you have .. The stable, Noahs Ark & The dollhouse 
The stable and the dollhouse have parts that make noise (which the kids  at Isabelles age)------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year  http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

Scary looking at her & thinking she's 1 & can play with toys that small... they grow up too quickly! I will have a look for that brand, ta. ------------- 3yr old gorgeous ID twin boys. |

They are small to us .. but not small enough for her to choke on 
But they are the perfect size for her hands .. I think thats why kids of her age like them .. they can walk around the house with their "friends" lol ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

Sooo true!! That's another thought, will have to buy something semi-original so she doesn't end up with 2 of them, as well as an exchange card me thinks. ------------- 3yr old gorgeous ID twin boys. |

LOL - I was wondering if it was the same party and if you'd both show up with the same present ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

| Bath toys are always a winner too, they start to want to play more in the bath from this age. |

my boys loved a "pushy" thing - like a wagon or dolls pushcahir - that is good for boys and girls, but be aware that dad may not appreciate a son being given a doll's pushchair - dads can be weird like that.
wiggles cds are also hits. |

oh yeh, it's for a girl.
I might not be the one to subject the mum to the wiggles but the little one will probably like it. Bath toys is a good one, what a great excuse to buy more toys for my boys! ------------- 3yr old gorgeous ID twin boys. |

You can get a doll and stroller, if she's walking or close.
Any gender does seem to love those little block trolleys though. They effectively become a little walker. Emptying and filling is their developmental stage, as far as blocks and/or water play goes. ------------- |

| If they don't have a swing you can get these great convertible ones from the baby factory for under $50. My boy and his friends all love theirs. |

one of the best buys we got for Ella was a board picture book with the picture and words of everyday items. Ella is seriously obsessed with the book and every day spends at least 1/2 hr pointing at her favourite pictures and practicing the words. also she loves her doys stroller and the little people building blocks. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

I got her a picture book with textures on it which her cousin who's 16mnths really liked & also a cudly doll thing which seemed to go down well too. I was so looking forward to the party but unfortunately she had a tummy bug or something so the boys & DH stayed at home & I just visited with the gift. Shame for the mum but glad she rang around & warned other mummy's. ------------- 3yr old gorgeous ID twin boys. |
