Ask the Village: 15 Month Old Toy Ideas

Welcome to Ask the Village where all of us moms come together to share our best tips, tricks, advice, and support to one another so we can all be each other’s village!

Today’s question: what toys are your 15 month old’s loving?

I recently shared on Instagram that I felt like my 15 month old son was all of the sudden SO bored with all of this toys. Like he outgrew them all overnight! With his brain developing and growing everyday, I’m not surprised. Most of his toys were from when he was a baby, so makes sense. Anyways, y’all had tonnnns of ideas, and I also got tons of messages requesting I share the results, so I decided to make it the next Ask the Village!

Also, these are not *just* for 15 month olds, but 15 months and up!

Here are all of the ideas:

One big recommendation was doing toy rotations regularly so toys are shiny and new for your little one!

Another idea not specifically toy related – sometimes its not the toys its the space. We pack up a bag and set them in another room and he will play for hours.
