After our kids got over stacking (which took a couple years), we just converted them to a bathtub toy and they are getting a second life!
Stacking Cups
We love playing with watering cans in the summer. It's all around entertainment - putting water in, carrying to plants, watering them, and coming back for more!
Watering Cans : Kids' Gardening
First they were used for chewing, then for learning letters, then for sticking to the wall, and soon to learn how to read and write!
Munchkin® Learn™ Bath Letters and Numbers 36pc
Similar to other foam objects, these are often chewed as a baby toy as they are easy for them to hold. Then as toddlers, they start actually building sets and these truly grow with your kid.

Since they come in an 8 pack, we distributed these across a couple rooms in our house and each of our cars. They don't seem like much but these get a lot of use for years.

As babies, these are good to grab. As kids get older they can practice cutting and have a slew of imaginary games with these - groceries, cooking, organizing the fridge, etc.

We love these as travel toys because you always can have access to water and as soon as the kid gets to the end, they can start back over again.
Melissa & Doug Water WOW! Animals Water Reveal Pad
While less of a “toy”, we have gotten use out of this for years. It's good for reading to baby, then they practice flipping pages, then they start saying some of the words as toddlers and beyond.

Egg shakers last for years as musical toys. They are easy to hold and a great musical supplement to any song!

We bring this on the go - it has so many ways to entertain in the car and at restaurants. As kids get older, they can use it for real life practice for various buckles, tying and more.

There is something timeless about rubber ducks. They are fun to chew, spray and for imaginative play as kids get older.
