My 15m DD loved her Corolle Calin doll. This is her first doll. I was hoping it would be special for her, and it really was. She got very excited when she saw it. She's been giving the doll hugs and patting its head. She's played with it a lot today and been carrying it around. It made me so happy to see her loving her first dolly! This is my first child and I didn't know much about age appropriate toys, but I got the idea for the Calin doll from this board and I am truly appreciative, everyone. Thank you!

She also liked her wooden puzzle, her Haba fantasy blocks (also an idea from you all), and the Lamaze monkey bongo drums (DH picked that out - it was a big hit too!)

She doesn't seem interested in her wooden walking push toy dog.

This is just based on what dd really played with today. I am sure that the list will change as the months go on. DD is use to playing with one or two toys at a time -- not a whole room full. But boy was it fun :)

Merry Christmas!
