Prince Lionheart Wheely Bug Bee
> We got this for her for her first birthday and she loves being wheeled around on it. She cannot do it herself just yet. We bought the large size one so that it would last longer. Our baby is very tall but she can only just reach the ground so this will definitely be a toy that she can use for a long time. The bee is very bright and a cool looking toy, worth the extra for the large size!!!
Maclaren Doll Stroller
> Was $15 at Babies R Us and the best investment we have ever made - she plays with it EVERY day!! Loves to push her dolly around in it and also likes to sit in it and be pushed around (probably not what you are meant to do but it seems to be holding up to the extra weight!!!). All the kids at the playground like to play with it too - seems to be something that facinates children of this age.
Blocks
> One of her favorite games is for one of us to build a huge tower with her blocks and then she knocks it down..... Any blocks will do! I use the ones from the shape sorter that we got her from Buy Buy Baby.
Jigsaw Puzzles
> She has a couple of jigsaw puzzles with very large pieces. The ones we have are from Marks and Spencer in the UK and have 'touchy feely' bits on them such as fabric, mirrors etc to make them extra fun. She likes to touch the extras. Has not yet figured out how to put the pieces together but she loves taking them out of the box and then tidying them up again.
Boon Bath Toys
> She got a set of the boon bath toys for her birthday from a friend. There are little colored balls, a couple of bath 'scrunchies' for washing her with and about 15 pieces of colored, shaped foam that float and also stick to the side of the bath. These are awesome! I love them and they are so easy to tidy up aswell since you can just stick them to the tiles afterwards. She likes to bite on them as they are perfect teething chewy toys as well ;)
Crayons
> I bought her some of the Crayola washable crayons and a stack of craft paper so that she can start to learn to use a crayon. The washable crayons actually do what they say on the pack.... she has accidentally drawn off the paper onto the wood floors and they wipe up VERY easily. Haven't tested that on the walls yet but I was impressed with the ease of cleaning. Cheap and cheerful amusement!
Her new favorite playtime thing to do is to carry around a small bag or small box and collect items from the floor to put into it.... Tidy Up!
