One of my son's other favourite 'toys' are a selection of my plastic mixing bowls! He LOVES spinning things, and likes to put his teddy and jigsaw puzzle pieces into the bowls and spin everything around on the floor!Metranil dreams of becoming a neon,You don't even take him seriously,How am I going to get to heaven?,When I'm just balanced so precariously..0

I would say lego, so much imagination play, absolutely worth it and not a toy but a play curtain, imagination again, it has been a punch and judy show, a cape, a stage, propped up as a , used for hide and seek, you name it that piece of cloth has been used as:D0

The best ever buy for us for our twin boys has has been the Step 2 Deluxe Canyon Train and Track Table which we have had our money's worth of time and time again for the hours and hours that they boys have played with this table which unfortunately needs to now to make room for a football table next month!
And cars, the boys will play for hours with cars, they love them.

For DS it was wooden train set, followed by Knex. Also lots and lots of cardboard, plastic bottles etc for model making, plus numerous books.
DD as much drawing, painting stuff as possible. Did not really play with many toys. Now 16 and going to college in September for an art & design course.0 -
For my DS anything that is creative or imaginative play atm.
He loves his cooker, home-made castle, diggers & 'fixer' cars, trains, dressing up clothes, lego as well as 'mr maker'(craft) box.
He often gets electronic toys from relatives for birthdays/ xmas. Although he still plays with them its not for long periods of time.
Edited to add: If buying cars spend bit more money getting metal ones, last longer, even after accidentally being crushed under daddy's feet.Sealed Pot Challenge 2011 #11480 -
Hmmm...tricky one.
Probably the cosy coupe (he once spent over an hour in it and wouldn't even come out for chocolate) and his Lego helicopter.
Not far behind are balloons, wooden train set and the telephone (the real one in the hall!)0 -
My LO is 18 months. I'm not kidding when I say her favourite toy is the big box that her second stage car seat came in! My OH cut a hole in the side so she can crawl in through the side and out through the end. And she adores drawing all over the box with her crayons
Whenever she seems to get bored of it, we turn it a different way up, so she can pop her head out of the top or crawl in at the side etc etc.Mortgage when started: £330,995
