Haven't read all your post so I'm sorry if I repeat anyone!!

Harveys favourite activity at just under and year and still now at 15 months is a cardboard tube (like a pringles tub) and some little balls or bricks... has been none to sit for 45 minutes filling it up, tipping it out, filling it up, tipping it out!! Its all to do with his schema apparently so I'm not saying every child would like it!!

If you look you can see the concentration on his little face!!

Catherine loves books i have lots of little card books for her that she will try to read herself or she will bring them to DH and i to read to her. Blocks and Balls are also a big favourite and of course her Fisher Price Piano.

Madison is really into books at the moment.  All other toys, forget it.  She won't let me read them to her, but she really enjoys flipping through the pages and looking on her own.  So I went and bought her a bunch of board books that have feely pages.  She really likes them!

MandyP - you reminded me that DS's favorite toy/book is Fuzzy Yellow Ducklings, it has a color, shape, and texture for each animal, including sticky pink line for frog tongues!!  He loves this book and will feel each texture then open the flap himself to reveal the animal.  It is by Matthew Van Fleet and I got it on Amazon.com in the bargain/clearance section for like $4. (I needed to add a few more $$ to an order to get free shipping)  I have seen some of his other books in bookstores for $20 and up that have textures in them too.  Pop up and lift the flap books are great fun for toddlers!!

the FP little people are fab for imaginative play and so are the MegaBlox - both are a huge hit with Rachel at the moment.

1. Katie likes her dump truck that DH and I load and she empties.  She's starting to help us load it. 
2. We also have foam blocks that we stack and she knocks down. 
3. Books are a favorite.
4.  She loves a towel and will play peek-a-boo with us.
5.  She loved her tunnel (need to post the YouTube of that).

My daughter Sophia is 13 months.  Here are a couple of her favorites  (some of them she's had for a while but still enjoys):
* Rubber blocks by "Parents" (brand made for Target) it came with a couple cloth books - the blocks are great!!  When she'd stack more than two blocks, I would clap - now she claps for herself and gets up to 7 stacked high  (it's so cute to see her clap for herself :-)

Rubber inflated balls - about 5 inches - bought at Toys R Us - she loves it when we roll the ball to each other and then sometimes just likes to through the ball and chase after it herself.

Flip Books - her favorites are the Karen Katz lift the flap books - Where is Baby's Bellybutton is a great book for them to learn body parts. (she can now point to my nose, eyes, ears, etc.)  You can usually find them for less $$ at stores like TJ Maxx

Also - she loves the Brown, Brown Bear (What do you see) book and other books by that author.

A play Tunnel  (it collapses) I got the one at Toys R Us that's about 7 feet long and can attach to a little tent.  - she loves to play in that.

Electronic toys:
Leap Frog Learning Table- has had that for many, many months - still loves it.
V-Tech Telephone

I'm looking also for some other toddler-centric toys too.

DD is really into climbing in and out of things - toy box, baskets, tub, chairs, etc.  If you have a mid-sized cardboard box, he might like to try it!

Mega Bloks are a lot like Legos -- building bricks.  Mega Bloks are big and easy for LOs to take apart and put together.  Here's a link

(wow, that's a really long link)

Riley had so much fun yesterday playing with pack & toss spoons, about 30 of them , all assorted colors. He had two containers to put them in. Kept him amused for nearly an hour. He is 14 months old.

Hi

My youngest will be 1 tomorrow.  His favourite activity seems to be to take things out of drawers then put them back in again.  And pulling things out of cupboards.  And pulling books off bookshelves...I think there's a general theme going on here!

It seems to be anything the grownups use is what he wants to be checking out, so we tend to go with it and just keep an eye on him to make sure there's nothing he can hurt himself on or destroy!  Bits of paper to tear up, pots and pans to bash, mixing bowls to pile inside each other, tupperwear tubs to take the lids on and off, bashing the piano, chasing the cats...

Toys he likes seem to be his brother's megasketcher (he likes to 'draw') his spinning top and any little people that he can carry around or hide in people's shoes!
