I have a 15 month old and feel many of her toys are too babyish. We have a small place so don't have room for big toys. I'm looking for suggestions on simple, space efficient toys/items that can help with development and be educational. I'd love ideas for games, etc that we can do together. Thank you!
I sell Discovery Toys. I'd be happy to mail you a catalog if you like. The toys are wonderful, educational, and durable! You can send me a personal message on this site or call me at ###-###-#### if you'd like a catalog. Good luck,N..
Paper and pens/crayons are great at this age. Painting too.
Going on walks, counting stairs, rocks, trees, etc.. Bring out the pots and pans and make some instruments. Play music and sing or dance. Dress up. She'll learn best through play so have fun!
Enjoy,

I agree with play being the best for learning, not really more toys. My son is just a bit older, 19 months and I'm due with #3 in June, too! We play with balls. We have little ones, normal sized ones, and my big birthing ball; he loves them all. I'll throw them down the hall, and he rolls them back to me. We also play a version of peek a boo and chase (while crawling) around the couch. He loves walks outside, too. It takes close to an hour to get to the end of our street and back home.
Our house is small-ish, too, so I don't want any more toys!
I don't know if you're familiar with Netflix, but I read an article on the web last week about a company that does the same thing with baby toys that Netflix does with movie rentals. Check out www.babyplays.com
This whole idea of renting toys is new to the US but apparently toy libraries have been around forever in Australia. Anyway, if you're limited with space, you don't have to store the toys when she grows out of them, you can just send them back for more.
