We bought the 100 piece set, but they are A LOT...this seems like a good amount to have at this age. We also waited until our soon was more understanding of not banging toys on the floor, to reduce the chance of a piece breaking.
MAGNA-TILES Classic 32-Piece Magnetic Set
These come and go on Amazon, and I haven't found it on any local store.
Apparently, Fisher Price revamped the animal farm to make it smaller, but took away some key fun elements. There's tiktoks about it.
Fisher-Price Little People Caring for Animals Farm Playset
My son got this for christmas, he loves playing with it. It can also serve for different learning skills, colors, numbers, storing, learning push/pull
Learning Resources Spike Fine Motor Hedgehog
I've enjoyed seeing my son get more comfortable with this toy. He has learned how to put each shape back in, right now we are focusing on numbers/counting so it's been helpful.
Learning Resources Stacking Shapes Garden Toy
At first he didn't understand the concept, I don't think he fully understood how to place the cars until he was closer to 18 months.
Toddler Wooden Race Track Car Ramp with 4 Cars
My son is definitely in his drawing stage, so this has been a life saver, we keep it in his diaper bag so it's always available when we go to out and about, as we are trying to be screen free when out in public.
4 Pack 8.5" LCD Writing Tablet for Kids
My son didn't have a preference between basketball or soccer, so we got him this to see what would eventually interest him, and to help develop both skills.
Move2Play Giraffe Basketball & Soccer Toy
This toy has helped us teach my son different things, cause/effect, colors, shapes.
Melissa & Doug GO Tots Wooden Schoolyard Tumble
This one was a splurge item, my son loved seeing others play but it took him a while to learn how to use it, but now he really enjoys playing with it.
Fat Brain Toys SpinAgain Stacking Toy 1+
Development
He has had these for a few months now, and he loves put them on our fridge/front door. It wasn't until now that we are focusing more on letter recognition and phonics, so these help since the animals make that connection.
JoyCat Magnetic Alphabet Letters for Kids
I wanted my son to have a pair of vans but looking for something more developmentally friendly. Wide toe box, flexible sole, heel support.
Toddler UltraRange V Shoe in Black / True White
Trying to get my little one to learn how to use a fork and spoon, these have a natural curve that support that, and come in a travel case.
OXO Tot On-The-Go Fork and Spoon Set - Dusk
My mom wanted to gift him a table, and we went back and forth on what to get since we have a small space available. This one checked off all the things for us, adjustable height, small space, plus was the rolling paper area.
Woodtoe Kids Table & Chair Set w/ Storage
My son was gifted this for his 1st birthday, but didn't start using it until closer to 18th months. Mainly because of height, now he is able to push himself around, and likes hiding things in the seat.
