Cardboard. Seriously. There are some awesome thing she can do without the need for toys. I wish I had my time over my kids would have the basics and we'd so make everything else.

Activity it up baby. Things like water tables and chalk boards are great. A sand pit. A baby swing. A paintbrush to paint water on concrete and wood. These are the things they love. The plastic loses its interest soooo quickly!

Have you seen the kitchens made out of recycled furniture! I wish I had know about these when my babies were little!

And check out idea for kitchenware sets for kids. And a train set! Even the wooden idea ones. Grls like trains too!
