Cool Gifts To LO

[wildhoney4508]

What did you get/give to LO that you found particularly cool or that he/she really has taken to lately? (For birthday or if you have a shopping problem like me, for no plain good reason at all!!)

[wildhoney4508]

I'll start!! This has lit up LO's world soooo much from her party last weekend. DD1 got a Minnie one when she was 1, and liked it just OK.
m.target.com/p/light-n-sound-elsa-activity-ride-on/-/A-16409027?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=google_pla_df&LNM=16409027&CPNG=Toys&kpid=16409027&LID=34pgs&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=16409027&kpid=16409027&gclid=CjwKEAjwrbSoBRDok47Sv6Ci80wSJABFUszTXxM_EYy50snZusdGx8Xe-xRz_s-qKgG4ReN6_8e8ohoCdS3w_wcB

The look of pure excitement on her face is priceless!! Also, this was a cool gift she got that she adores, from DH's best friend, which I thought was interesting and VERY clever, considering this is our second daughter, so of course we didn't have it.

DS got these and he loves them. They are loud but he is starting to imitate the sounds they make.

E got a water table. She loves it. Everyone else bought her clothes which kinda disappointed me bc I wanted to see her play. We had to hide the water table bc it has been to cool out to play in it. When she sees it she cries if we don't take her to it.

[kaitkat]

Miss c got a "couch" it's one of those foam ones that pulls out to a bed she loves it!!!

What kind of water table?  I keep my eyes out for a good deal on one.

Jillian got a chair with her name on it. I don't think its the PB Chair I hear so much about but its the same idea. I'm pretty sure its foam (which is fine). She looks cute sitting it in. My sister embroidered it herself with Jillian's name on it. Love that machine that she has!

DH picked these for LO for Christmas & he LOVES them. They're really easy to push too which is nice. 

[bennieangel]

T loves all the toys lately! But the V-tech monkey in a barrel that spits out balls is a favorite, and the VTech tree house, and stuffed animals lately....and balls. All balls. Round, football, o-ball, etc. He's obsessed.

[g33kyg1rly]

Am I the only one whose LO still doesn't seem to be that interested in toys? She is still more interested in going all over the place and seeing what trouble she can get into (trying to climb on stuff, take things apart, and chew on everything) :-P Sometimes it makes me a little sad, because most of the times I sit and try to play with her she usually shows little interest, and just ends up crawling off somewhere.

[bsouls]

T isn't super into toys. She will play and can be highly involved, but still loves exploring the best.

wildhoney4508 the second link didn't work for me - what is it?

T's birthday is today, so I'm hoping she gets more than clothes. We didn't get her anything, because I figure we'd see what she got first - then shop if needed.

[katka512]

LO loves this piggy bank she got her her birthday. She will sit and put all the coins in, take them out, and do it all over again.

[younglove316]

She got a Daniel Tiger & Katarina stuffed animal that talks, she likes picking them up and giving them kisses.

We also got a water table, I'm excited for the weather to warm up so we can go out and play with it!

wildhoney4508 I bought that sports set toy from our online swap site a couple of months back and it is so awesome! I love it!

[twaffle]

We just got him a bobby car. His brother has one and is not too keen on sharing so now they can go around the house in their own car

[wildhoney4508]

bsouls it's a Little Tikes Sports Center LO likes putting the basketball in and out of the net, but of course she enjoys dancing to the songs as well

g33kyg1rly LO was that way for a while, mostly when she first started crawling. Although she is an avid crawler and climbs on EVErYThING and just generally likes to be a little stinker, she's starting to play w toys now. Maybe bc she's bored w her rebellion?? Lol not sure...she does both, plus she is trying to keep up with her big sis's playing skills so there's that

Honestly, Noah is only interested in taking his brother's toys away. As long as his brother touches it first, it's the best toy ever! If not he just ignores it

[linzerd]

We got her this Little People Castle and she loves carrying around the little people who came with it. We named them Jack & Ginger

DS has really gotten into his toys more the last few days. Today he figured out how to stack the stacking rings, stacking cups, and put the coins in the fisher price piggy bank.

[zandeela]

Lo liked the piggie bank, and the activity table, but loved the fold out chair and the TV remote!

[bennieangel]

Lo loves his toys the most when they are all put away

DS is like this. He has gotten a little more interested in toys, but mostly he wants things he can't have.

[kimberpoo]

LO LOVES books right now. the kind with fur/Velcro/whatever (pat the bunny style) is his favorite.
This activity table is hands-down the BEST toy we own: www.walmart.com/ip/38236302?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227027832185&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=45287459072&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=88656107552&veh=sem hours of entertainment! (we don't have the dog) he never gets tired of it, and it's sturdy enough he can pull himself up using it.
he also loves his little ride-on toys. he's got a Thomas the tank engine, a fire engine, and a rescue plane from Disney's 'plane rescue' movie.

[kimberpoo]

this is LO's favorite touch and feel book: www.amazon.com/Alphabet-Paula-Wiseman-Books-Matthew/dp/1416955658
anything by matthew van fleet is fantastic!
Here is LO's all time favorite book:http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=nonsters%20in%20color it's such a simple book but something about it must really appeal to him. he beyond loves it!

[harperandco]

I bought DD a doll carrier/car seat this weekend and she hasn't put it down since. Also, the water table is a huge hit.

My parents gave my son a Little Helper stand for the Kitchen. We are always in there and now he just stands there with his own cookware and play food. He can was his dishes in the sink. It's an awesome way to spend time together.

[babycaps]

LO is into cabinets and LOVES his kitchen and a push toy. He doesn't ever sit still for anything!
