suggestions for toys for 18 - 24 month old girl?

redballoon_2

Hi my daughter has outgrown her old "baby toys" and need something else for her to play with, can any one suggest anything?

I have brought some old fisher price toys like the play house and camper that has a boat on the top and she loves these! cant quite play house with it but likes to put the people inthe chairs and say "sshhhssshh" when she puts them in the beds etc...

Dont want to spend a lot, anything on ebay would be good , as have money in my paypal from selling items.

Thanks!!

This is what the ELC think are good toys for 12-24 month children. Just adjust the search to what you need.

my little girly who has just recently turned 2 has loved and does love the ELC happyland toys and her favourate one is the cottage because it has a ringing telephone just like home, ringing door bell just like home and even a TV

one of the best things we ever bought when our first daughter was 2 was a tea set andtoy food to go with it. She still plays with it now 2 years later. She can have picnics with her teddies on blankets etc. Also, don't feel the need to get loads of toys - remember she can only play with one at a time.....

My daughter has is just about to turn 3 and over the last year she has had lots of fun with her wooden kitchen and tea set.

She has also really loved doing small jigsaws. Orchard Toys jigsaws are fantastic, they start as two piece jigsaws, matching parts of bodies to animals, then build up to bigger and bigger puzzles, they are really great. I bought all mine off ebay.

My daughter is 20 months and we are in a similiar situation. She is our 2nd child so she has some of my sons role play toys to play with - Pretend kitchen and accesories (food, shopping trolley, microwave, kettle etc). She loves 'making' a cup of tea and putting food in the trolley.

For her 2nd birthday I am going to buy her a doll and accesories (bath, bottles, clothes etc) to extend her role play toys.

I will be watching this thread for more ideas!

I'd agree about the tea set and play food. My daughter just turned 2 and got a plastic kitchen with play food and tea cups. This last week I've had to drink 20 "imaginary" cups of tea a day!!! Also she loves those big lego style blocks (megablocks or duplo) and the wooden board shape puzzles.

More MSE though, she absolutely loves the toilet roll centres (you know the cardboard tubes)!! Sticks them end to end to make a didgeridoo or trumpet, taped together to make binoculars, colours them in, puts stickers on them!

I'd love to still have the free imagination of a 2 year old:j
Also one of the best toys I got was off eBay for a fiver - it's a Fisher Price Learning Home (it's like this freestanding door thing). Everytime we have a playdate all the kids are scrambling all over it! Lots of things to spin and buttons to press, balls, shapes and noises/music.

I too was going to suggest ELC happyland - the fair is excellent as is the ferris wheel and train track.

What about a cleaning set such as a hoover (lovely dyson in argos), they also do sets with a brush, mop, all in a trolley? Tesco have some fab toys in.

Peppa pig adventure buggy?

Kitchen set, large kitchen and start uying food and toys to expand collection?

Pushchair with baby? Highchair and cot for baby/dolly, whatever you call them where you are lol.

I have a little boy so running out of ideas now sorry....but he loves his happyland stuff.

Dressing up outfits have been a hit in this house since DD was about that age. Doesn't matter what kind of outfit, or for what age group really, she just loves them! Whenever other kids come to play the first thing they do is trash her wardrobe dragging them all out. Swines!

Baby doll, bottle and pushchair? Play kitchen, play cash register, play shopping trolley and food (my niece is 18 months, and she always gets my DD's old shopping trolley and food out when she comes round to ours) etc
Also my little girl got her first lot of Lil' People stuff (like ELC Happyland) when she was one - she played for years with it, she had the safari and the train set.

I agree Fisher Price Little People, they last for years, have passed mine down to my 18mth old niece who loves it and my 2 still play with it when we visit.

Cooker & food, again will last few years, dressing up stuff, role play things so they can play at being 'big'!!
