Need Gift Ideas for the 6-18 Month Olds

[scheddj]

I have 5 to buy Christmas gifts for so i need lots of ideas.

 

[strollerfreak]

Bath toys/Bath crayons
Matchy PJ's for Christmas
WheelyBug (a small will work for the younger set, a large is better for an 18m old as it will last them longer)
Melissa & Doug puzzles
Sandra Boynton board books

If they don't already have one, the Busy Ball Bopper was a big hit that my daughter got for her 1st birthday.

The Leap Frog fridge magnets that make noise were good too. Mine still plays with them. We have the alphabet set and the farm animal set.

Not sure how much you are planning on spending, but those are both in the $20 ish range.

Last Christmas DD was 6 months old and received the My Pal Violet. She loves it and sleeps with it every night. You can personalize them with their name. My 4 year old has now requested one.

I also agree with the ball popper! She loves that thing!

Anything that lights up and makes noise...lol. My dd is 14 months and loves baby dolls, elmo (especially the ones that move or talk), play cell phones, play keys (the ones that sound like your starting the car), plush figure dolls, but she also loves boxes, emptying my laundry basket, and pulling all of my canned goods out of the cabinet...lol. Little ones are very easy to please, so I'm sure anything you decide on will be great. Good luck =)

simple is good: board books, big balls, soft blocks, a foot driven ride on toys, large beads to string.

Be sure to look a ages and make sure they toys are safe for the right age child.

For the youngest that have no idea what Christmas is, clothe are a good choice as they outgrow everything so quick at that age.

Also if you want to go that route, a bond or one share of stock for Disney or Mcdonalds wraped with a toddler friendy snack (think aninimal crackers or gerber graduate melts) is a great idea.

That's funny. I've already given the oldest two ball boppers for their first birthdays and they were a hit with both. I just got back from TRU and got the 18 month boy a FP "Wheelies Stand n Play Rampway". Nothing else jumped out at me. I'll go check out some of the suggestions here tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.

Any sort of stacking/nesting blocks or animals. Huge hit with our boys and friend's kids.... Simple, yet hours of fun.
