With the holidays coming,lets start a thread to help each other with toy recs
I think it will be helpful if we all state our dcs age range and their favorite toys. That way we can refer to this while looking for ideas.
My DD is 3 months. So in the 0-3 range she loved Jaque the Peacock by Lamaze, her Fisherprice Jungle playmat, and those soft plastic books by sassy that she can put in her mouth.
I'm looking for 3-6 & through 1 year toy recommendations!

Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Farm (starting at 6 months- at least 18 months)
My DS loved the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Farm. It was a wonderful toy for him to use at different ages. As soon as he could sit unsupported I would sit him in front of it and he'd reach for things. He came to love and play with the toy more and more as he grew. Worth every penny!
Leap Frog My Pal Scout
DS got this for Christmas when he was 14 months old and he smiled as soon as he saw it. Was an absolute favorite for months to come and he uses Scout for lots of pretend play now at almost 2.
These are 2 that stand out for us.

I already started my shopping since we will have a newborn around the holidays.
DD is 3.
- Disney Princess scooter ( i saved $9 by getting it on ebay, brand new)
- stocking stuffers - headbands/princess chapsticks/bracelets/necklaces
- Vtech Mobigo Toy Story game
-activities (brain quest, activity books, stickers fun)
DD is very into cutting and gluing, we have done this book already and she loved it so I bought it again

DD is 8 months and she loves the Lamaze firefly, FP rainforest jungle gym.
Truthfully, her favorite toys are paper, cardboard and pens...

3-6 mo, DS loved the jumperoo
As far as small toys, he loved the Whoozit (a weird looking circular stuffed toy that he liked to bit the nose of).
6-9 months, he liked this snail that moved when you hit the tail & made music.
12 months: musical toys (he played with one so much it broke... so I can't really recommend it) & stacking toys. He loves books (esp those with things he can feel and TOUCH with animals: eg. fake animal fur books)

from 8m and on
- Fisher Price Learning Home
- Vtech - Count and Learn School Bus
- any kind of balls
- Melissa & Doug See & Spell Melissa & Doug See & Spell (we used it without the tiny letters for a while, and then only use tiny letters when I'm playing it with him)
from 14m and on
- P'Kolino Puzzle Stacker
- megablocks
- Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Corn Popper Push Toy
- Fisher-Price Walker-To-Wagon
from 18m and on
- Stickers/Crayons/Chalk anything of the like
- rocking horse
- buckets/boxes - anything he can put things inside and carry around
- stuffed animals are suddenly a bid deal
- broom/mops/pots/spoons anything to help mommy cook and clean
He's so much more inventive with his play now at 18m. He's devising his own games with objects like balls and pilows.

Great idea!
4-8 months -- jumperoo, exersaucer, assortment of different balls (bendy ball, sassy set of 3 balls, etc.), fisher price go baby go crawl along snail and go baby go crawl along musical ball (with monkey on top) for tummy time and early crawling. He also LOVES taggies -- he has the taggie ball and taggie elephant.

Re: With the holidays coming,lets start a thread to help each other with toy recs
What a great idea!
DS is 5.5 months and loves basically anything he can stick in his mouth and suck on lol
~ Mickey head on the little blanket
~ The flat elephant that crinkles
~ The baby einstein octopus! I added some of those ring things and he loves it.
He also loves books, board and fabric, esp if they make noise!
and now that he can grasp and hold things better he likes rattles.
And his play mat, I put a mirror hanging from the top, and he could seriously spend an hour laying there looking at himself lol!!!

Re: With the holidays coming,lets start a thread to help each other with toy recs
DD is 21months and currently LOVES: Bubble Guppies
Yo Gaba Gaba
ANYTHING Little People
Coloring Anywhere
Anything with numbers, letters, and colors- like magnets and wall stickies for the bathtub
Stuffed animals
LeapFrog or V-Tech Learning Catippilar(?)
These are outside toys, but you could always get 1 or 2 things and save them for a Christmas in July night or something small! We got here these for her 1/2 birthday since we celebrate it.
Her Sprinkler beachball for outside
Her sand and water table for outsode, but we did both sides with water.

DS - 2.5 y/o. Obsessed with tools and trains lol. We just got him the home depot travel work bench, DO NOT recommend..it's a piece of poo lol. He also has the Melissa and Doug wooden toolbox and some other tools..love those. We are getting him a train table for Christmas. He is also very much into drawing, coloring and stickers.
DD - 1 y/o. She is very into her brothers toys lol, she loves the tools also and playing with cars. She loves Scout, and her shape sorters and stacking rings. She also LOVES touch and feel books.
