6-12 month toys

Joshsbabymomma · October 2011

As a FTM I have no idea what to get my son for Christmas. Does anyone have suggestions on good 6-12 month toys? TIA.

Felix started using his walker around 10-11 months and he is obsessed with it. He also loved any kind of stacking toys.

Playmat/activity gym, soft blocks for stacking, stacking rings, cloth and board books, musical toys (piano or drum).

At that age Caroline was starting to play with blocks and stable rings. She was really into books by then. She was also loving her jumper oo and at 9 months ;Christmas) we got her the fisher price play an learn music table that she still plays with and the ride and stride dino which he still plays with. She loved play phones, bears. We got a few pus that we knew she would bang around then but in a few months get (like FP cookie shape toy). By 6 months she was done with the playmat etc and all about trying to move and explore. Wow what a difference a year makes for me

Books, anything they can sort (I got her a bucket of Dulpos), this alligator has been awesome - she got it at 6 months and loved it then and still loves it now. Electronic books have been a hit, as well as the more simple Melissa and Doug puzzles. Stuffed animals. Stacking cups and linking rings. These are all things she loved then and still loves.

The activity table was also hit at that age, but she's gotten bored with it.

We got the boys a music table, blocks and duplos and tons of books. Most of the stuff we got for them their first Christmas they still play with, just more in depth!

We are the big meanies, and did not buy him any toys his first Christmas! He got some little things he needed, but we felt like he already had tons of stuff and we knew the grandparents were going to spoil him rotten, so we decided to just embrace the fact that he didn't know what was going on and take a pass

This will be us too. I'm saving my money for when it really counts.

Abby loved her leap frog table: I got it at Lots for tots for $10 :-)

We didn't do much last year, as he was only 3 months, but I can give you the top toys in the age range 6-12 months. I highly recommend the toys you buy to be the simpler the better, solidly made, without batteries, because those that will grow with him, foster imagination and he'll still be using years from now. In the last 6 months, the top toys have been:

1) Books, books and more books.

2) Just simple wooden ABC blocks and an empty container to put them in.http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Classic-Block-Cart/dp/B0006GUY18/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1318904121&sr=1-1

3) This Stack and Rock toy. I swear he wouldn't have learned to roll, crawl and cruise as fast without these this toy. He can't stand them being stacked and wants to move to knock them over. And now he's trying to stack them. http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Stack-Rock-Pals/dp/B000GL1I18/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318904018&sr=8-1

4) A push cart. This has got to be the top. It has gotten played with just about daily for months. Putting things in and out, going for rides, pushing it around. I'm sure later it will be a pet carrier, grocery cart, etc. I made ours for cheap...so if you know someone who builds, I'd ask for one. http://bornambitous-bornimaginative.blogspot.com/2011/03/wooden-push-cart.html Or you can buy one online.

I just posted about the awesomeness of this toy on FB. Owen loved it as soon as he could sit up, and now that Ellie is playing with it (and also loves it), Owen has shown interest in it again, just in a different way.

Also ditto books and stacking items. These were a big hit here with O, and are pretty versatile: http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=2341&e=detail&pcat=bubrilliant&pid=38607. Also, any kind of "fill and spill" would be great, but a shape sorter does double duty in that it can be used as a fill and spill in the earlier months, then has the extra challenge of the shapes in the older months. Finally, if you can tolerate it, it's a nice time to add some kid music to your collection.
