I am looking to slowly add to my toy rotation over the next few months, and am looking for suggestions for children 0-2.
Here is a list of things I want to add or I want to get a new variety of:
Manipulatives
Fill and dump toys
Sorters and organizers
Gross motor toys such as climbers
Blocks
Balls
I have a lot of wood toys & blocks that are Montessori style
Zany Zoo activity cube (Target); in fact I own a lot of the B toys inc cars & piano mat (yes "B" is a brand)
Play silks - used as a light blanket, for make-believe, picnics etc.
Soft blocks that have different push out triangle/square/round noise makers inside
15 different types of balls (soft fabric & rubber, all sizes);some even rattle inside
Indestructible book set (all of them lol); they've lasted 6 years so far
