    From around that age, we didn't have so many toys as such, we have things like playdough, colouring books, dolls, paints (I have a chalk board/white board for her which she loves drawing on). Things like that. We have some outdoor toys like her own little garden set to help daddy in the garden, her little cars that she rides on, etc.
    Hope that helps.

    A cash register and some pretend food (or keep old food cartons etc). We often play this game, i pretend im in the shop (boob hanging out feeding my DD#3 mind you ) and my DD#2 pretend she is the shopkeeper and asks me 'what you like mummy?'. Its a fun game, and i would think at 18 months they would have a general understanding.

    All my girls still love putting their babies (dolls) to bed......along with pretend feeding equipment (spoons, bottles etc). They can play for hours........

    How about a little kitchenette as well. Nina has this, and the little cash register with pretend food, and she's always 'cooking' stuff for me.

    I got Darcy the Fisher Price "My first Dollohuse" for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. There's a mummy, a daddy and a baby. For her 2nd birthday next week we got her other furniture to go in it.

    oh and a shopping trolley. She loves to help put the groceries from the car into the cupboard, or vice versa.
