We have a Liitle Tikes Cozy Coupe. All the kids love it, mine and the neighbors.

We have the Playskool Busy Ball Popper and Olivia doesn't like it at all.

ok we have the little people ramps around garage, very cute toy, didn't play with it.

busy ball popper,, LOVE this toy, all 3 of our babies have LOVED it!!

cozy coupe car--is it like the flinstones car(ya know you make it go with feet sticking out of the bottome) ---if so we've had one of those, both boys loved it!

we have a play pop up/fold up tent and a tunnel, the boys LOVE LOVE it!

leap frog brighlings exploration station--alyssa got that for christmas and she plays with it alot. very cute

and as bad as it is, we have the kitchen too!!!!! the boys have had fun with it, they play waffle house LOL and I'm sure Alyssa will too

my kids have too much stuff, can ya tell??!!

I don't have any of those. The one toy I would add if I could is the V-Tech piggy bank. Ronald has loved it. He plays with it all the time.

I have to second the ball popper and the little coupe car - we have both and they are awesome!!!

That little coupe car thing (yeah, it's the flinstones car) is really expensive though, I think. Like close to $50. BUT, we found ours in near new condition at a garage sale a few years ago for $5. So keep your eyes open at those!

Also, the kitchen we bought Anabelle for her second birthday was probably one of our best purchases. I think every kid - boy or girl - needs one of these. Girls aren't the only ones who learn to cook. This is the one we have and we love it: http://www.amazon.com/Kid-Kraft-Ultimate-Wood-Kitchen/d...id=1209652393&sr=8-7

Also, the fisher price learning house is a great toy too.

Love the coupe!

We don't have the ball popper, but we have a lawn mower popper-one of his favorite toys.

I would like to get a kitchen. I saved the "food" and utensils from my first two kids. Nothing like eating a 14yo plastic taco. LOL With my older two, it was my son who played with it most.

I ran across an el-cheap-o play tent and bought it. I wish I had held out for the tent/tunnels. I also had that with the older kids. I still have one tunnel, but it can't connect to the current tent. My neice used to come over and ask to play with "the hole." It took a while to figure out what that meant.

Our favorite toy at the moment: My umbrella.

With kids 1&2, I had too much. I vowed to restrain myself with this one.

yeah the fisher price learning house is awesome!! Alex got that for his 1st bday and both boys played with it all the time. we've got it put up for Alyssa now. thats exciting, i just realized she's just about big enough for it now!! LOL

yeah the fisher price learning house is lots of fun! alex got that for his 1st bday and both boys played with it alot. we've got it put up waiting for alyssa now. lol

Personally - - I LOVE COLOR WONDERS!! These little gems allow you to spill the markers into a pile on the floor and leave your LO's to color, color and color without worring about marking up your entire house. Well worth every cent!!!!
