Toddler essentials?

Are you meaning clothes or toys etc?

Books, wooden building blocks, a solid trolley to push, a pram and baby- they get really into babies around 18months.
Both kids love their little fold out couch beds- they both have them and use them all the time to set and read books on, eat snacks, watch tv etc - Isla is almost 5 and has had hers since she was 1!

Great ideas, toys and stuff for activities the paint and paper is great, do they eat it? Thankfully we're heading into summer and lots of chances to get outside and explore.

thanks

We use cups and plastic contianers in the sandpit and as bath toys for tipping and pouring etc

My DS is 21 months and is loving playdough at the moment with cutters/rolling pin etc. Also loves his little bike (the plastic ones that they can push along with their feet) He is starting to like really simple puzzles, loves finger paint, washable crayolas - I just got him an easel which he is loving. A little pop up tent that he can go in and out of, plus we play shops using food from the cupboard and money from the money jar. He is just starting to like pretend play so anthing like a shopping trolley, dollies, tea sets etc would be great. He loves tools, but I've found that he would rather play with his dads 'real'tools than any toys. I've been trying to think of things to keep him busy as we have baby number 2 on the way and I plan on spending lots of time around the house for awhile.....
