My DD has gotten toys for her 1st birthday that she is not yet ready to play with and I was just wondering at what month/age will she be able to use these toys correctly?

1. megablocks (right now they just go in her mouth, so does nothing else with them)
2. lego duplos (i didn't even give those to her, stored them in the closet)
3. shape sorter (she will bang them together, empty the bin, and fill the bin without the cover on but can't actually do the shape sorting part)
4. toy telephone (pushes it around a bit and taps/pats at it, but doesn't imaginative play with it)
5. radio flyer 3 in 1 tricycle (still in the box, would she like to be pushed around in it now?)
6. puzzles - both fisher price plastic ones and melissa and doug wooden with knobs (she takes the puzzle pieces out of the puzzles and sometimes bangs it on the puzzle board)

DD is 15 months.

She doesn't have any megablocks or legos and is just starting to try to stack regular blocks if prompted.

She's had the shape sorter since about 8 months and has always loved it. She can put some of the shapes in and likes to name them too.

She's also loved pretending to talk on the phone since she was pretty young.

Don't have a trike but i'm sure she would love being pushed around. I've seen lots of 1 year olds in them.

DD loved puzzles. Some of them she just likes to play with the shapes and practice her animal noises. The only one she's good at is the M&D knob puzzles that's just shapes.

My DS is 19M.

He got the mega blocks at Christmans when he was almost 1. He has been playign with them since. He now makes things but in the beginning he needed help.

SHape sorter he has had since 9 months....again played with it but didn't actually sore for soem time but we used it for color and shape learning.

Tricycle - He doesn't have but would love beign pushed

Telephone - had sicne 6 month and always played with it.

Puzzles - got at 1 year and he plays with them all the time.

Each kid is goign to be different so jsut try things out.

My DD got megablocks, play phone, and puzzles for her 1st bday. Loved them all. Did she use them 100% correctly? No, but she needed exposure to them to learn.

She had a shape sorter from 6mo old and was playing with it since.

Didn't get a trike until 2nd bday, but would love being pushed as she loves being in a stroller/wagon.

All of this, except they did get trikes at 1 and we could not use it until 1.5 due to the season. At that point they loved being pushed around it them.
