Need some toy suggestions please.
The last thing I bought was a washing machine for James, last month, because he enjoys playing with the one from nursery. But he needs something else new, as I'm sure he's bored with the ones he has. I do try to go to the bottom of the toy box, to get something he hasn't played with in a while. But some of them are obviously too young for him now.
Any suggestions of anything your lo has enjoyed? I'd like something educational for his age, but I'm willing to look at everything!
Thanks. xx

We've just got the Fisher Price Little People Farm. M is really into animals and animal noises at the moment and loves all the sounds it makes.
She really enjoys putting the cow in and out of it's house because it moos every time she opens the door!

He also has a sound basket which has got wooden spoons, a shaker, jingle bells, sweet tin lid, small gift boxes, buttons on elastic and a net bag filled with shells. He adores this too. I dont leave it out all the time but get it out when he seems to be getting bored.
she also enjoyes threading beads (although still needs 1:1 support with this)
she loves drawing and colouring on her table and chair set
oh and her scuttle bug bike is great entertainment and keeps her amused for ages. when her little friends come round there is always a little bit of arguing over whos turn it is!
enjoy shopping!!!
(I love the dressing up box idea, I may have to get one of those set up for my little angel) x
lizzie also had a small laptop like toddler pc thingy (its plastic and opens up like a lapopt but has about 12 buttone on it, and each makes a different noise and it has 3 different games to play with these 12 buttons. shes not overly interested in it other than beating the buttons but maybe worth a look??
I need to have a proper look what's about. But think I will get an aquadoodle or equivalent. Possibly some Happyland toys. He loves the doors of my friend's lo's toy kitchen, but not sure he'll pretend play.
Keep the ideas coming!
Yeah the aqua mats are a huge advantage for the safety of the furniture and probably the walls, at some point!
The farm yard my husband built for her using off cuts of wood and we painted it for her, she collected a few animals since christmas and birthday. all her little friends love them too when they come to play.
(I would add a photo of the farm but I have no idea how to add images to these threads)
Threading beads is also a fav. She loves books and often dissapears and I find her sitting in her quite corner looking at books.
Have you asked at the nursery what he normal plays with - maybe they could suggest things he is really in to??
