Mine already have a push a long walker (which they don't get yet as they don't understand the concept that their feet can move. Tim just gradually tips his rigid body forward and Topsy pulls it towards her and then falls on her bum

Most of their stuff is second hand so I'm getting ideas from what's available but it's hard to tell if that's because stuff is popular or if people are mainly selling stuff that never really got used.

Things I've seen that look quite good are those activity cube things, like you get in GP waiting rooms, ball pits, activity table things, play tents, tunnels, slides and sit on stuff or scuttlebugs. Will these get used?
Also in one of my baby groups people seem to rave about Pikler triangles / Triclimb/ wobbel boards etc. Are these worth the expense?
Is Toot toot stuff worth it or is Brio or similar much better? Also, are Megabloks any good or is it best to wait until they can use Duplo?
What sort of age do they like imaginary play like kitchens? I read a few people saying their one year olds liked a tea set but mine seem a million miles off finding stuff like that fun. At the moment, I think they'd just bash bits of it together rather than getting the pretend element. Oh, and how old for those sand/water tables for the garden?
They have a few shakey type instruments and drums which they really like. Are xylophones etc used much? Any other instruments which won't drive me mad from the noise?
I know children are all different but wondering if there's some consensus on stuff that was loved/stuff that just took up space.
