Extra Details:

I'm trying to get some new toys for my 15-month-old very active and playful son. He's into ride-on cars, balls, sandboxes, and balance bikes. I'm considering some of the bigger toys like a play kitchen, trampoline, or ball pits. As they're going to be major purchases and taking up a significant portion of our living room real estate, I'd like to get the best one if possible. What turned out to be your kids' favorite toys?

An indoor swing is one of those toddler toys that’s 100% worth the investment! It’s not just fun—it also helps with sensory development, balance, and coordination. It’s a lifesaver on rainy days when your little one has way too much energy to burn. 

Bonus points if you get one that fits your home aesthetic! There are some really chic, neutral-toned options that blend seamlessly into modern spaces. Anything that keeps a toddler entertained and looks good? Total win.

Indoor ball pit. I can't stress enough how much my nephews used/loved it. If your space allows it, go with the bigger one because bigger's always better. Yes, you need more balls to fill the pit, but it meant exponentially more fun for my nephews.
