Oh and Megyn got a cdplayer boombox type deal for her birthday and it has been by far the most used gift she has ever gotten. She sleeps with the radio on everynight and loves LOVES her kidzbop disc and her LDS childrens songs discs.

matthew got a fisher price kids cd/karoke player (we immediately 'lost' the karoke attachement) that gets played with for hours every single day - that thing is tough! You can send it down a slide and it never skips a beat. they are no longer made but I'd highly recommend picking one up on ebay (see link above) if you can.

Em's favorites are her dollhouse, her bike, a soccerball, and any kind of blocks that she can stack and crash stuff into. She also blows bubbles almost every day, and is really into cooking. (Renee/Lydiasmama gave us a kitchen set a couple of years ago that gets played with basically daily.)

If it can be used outside, she loves it all the more. Bonus points for being ultra messy.

Bean bags made by Wendy & her son http://finickyllama.com/ We got two sets of batik beanbags from them and they are played with daily. My kids also play with their wool balls all of the time and I know Wendy offers kits for making the wool balls yourself. They're GREAT stocking stuffers.

Playsilks (homemade)

Knitted gnomes from http://www.naturalearthfarm.com/ I think she's part of Season's Originals, too?

Wood blocks (dad-made, of course )

Wool food from Katie www.woolfood.com

Art supplies like mercurius, etc.

The other things they play with everyday aren't from last Christmas. Basketballs or any ball really, wings from www.blueladybug.com and a cape, also from Wendy of Finicky Llama.

The kids are getting new silks, more food and art stuff this year.

Ditto on those three things. Ds cooks me breakfast almost every morning. I also got him a fold and go wooden kitchen (we didn't have room for a big one) and he loves it.

Hmmm, his tricycle is another favorite from 2 years ago. I think we will be doing the bike thing this year.

My 2.5 year old plays daily with his mega blocks, tonka trucks and FP school bus that he received for his 1st birthday/Christmas.

Hmm, my kids don't really play with much 'daily', because we hide stuff all the time, and then they get to 'find' it. (don't ask, my mom started it with us when we were little, and both my bro and I do it with our kids )

I listed in order of how much they like the items. (?LOL?)
DS1 (12)- Soccer Ball, Bicycle, Computer & XBox
DS2 (9)- Soccer Ball, Bicycle, Leapster, XBox & Computer Games
DD1 (7)- Build-A-Bear, Bicycle, Scooter, Leapster, Playsilks and Kitchen Set (Little Tykes, piece of junk)
DD2 (2)- MegaBlocks, Dolls & Toy Strollers, Playsilks, and Kitchen Set
DS3 (11mo)- Anything he can get his hands on and put in his mouth.
He LOVES the wood rattles/toys from Haba... and we have one favorite that was a gift from a mama at MDC, and he LOVES it.

DS is still playing with the wooden thomas trains he got for his 2nd birthday. That is the one thing he has played with almost every day for the past year.

He got an Aquadoodle for his birthday and he still likes that.

His favorite toys lately are Little People, Star Wars toys that his uncle just brought him last weekend, wood food, any vehicles and play doh. He really isn't much into blocks for some reaon.

He gets plenty of use out of the Little Tykes picnic table we bought him I think for his first Christmas.

I think the only thing my children play with on a daily basis are their chickens, bunnies, cats and each other. Our pool, legos, bicycles and rollerblades are used frequently and when the children are not running around they are working on their homeschool stuff for next year. Not sure why, I didn't ask them to, they just do.
