They love the popping that the balls do. This is also good for cause and effect as well as coordination.
Fisher-Price Rock-A-StackFisher-Price Rock-A-Stack
Buy new: $8.05
This was the first toy that my son got attached to. He would take them off the tower and give a ring to his sister and then they would bang them together and make music. :)
Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Learning PuppyFisher-Price Laugh and Learn Learning Puppy
Buy new: $23.99
We love the songs on this. Although, you may get a little freaked out if it randomly goes off by itself in the middle of the night... (ours does frequently).
The Farmer SaysThe Farmer Says
Buy new: $19.00
Another good one for music as it has taught the kids 'Old McDonald' which is one of their favourites to sing.
Hasbro Playskool Busy GearsHasbro Playskool Busy Gears
Buy new: $9.99
They like the music on this and like throwing the gears around and flinging them off while they are spinning.

Another one that the kids like for the music.
Fisher Price: Roll-Along Pals TurtleFisher Price: Roll-Along Pals Turtle

Great song for numbers... Beware, the tune WILL get stuck in your head. :)
Fisher-Price Nursery Rhymes CD PlayerFisher-Price Nursery Rhymes CD Player
Buy new: $33.49
Good for the start of nursery rhymes and pushing buttons...
LeapFrog Alphabet Pal® Caterpillar (Colors May Vary)LeapFrog Alphabet Pal® Caterpillar (Colors May Vary)
Buy new: $23.99
Their favourite toy when we brought them home. They could pull for the alphabet song or push any of the feet for something new. This toy is the main reason the kids knew a lot of their letters by the time they were a year.
Fisher-Price Press and Go Farm TruckFisher-Price Press and Go Farm Truck
Buy new: $23.95
This is fun for my son who loves cars and my daughter who likes things that make noise. The pig makes a cracking sound when you move it and the sheep makes noise also. Push the cow for a fun song and a toy that goes fast on tile.
Vtech - Learn & Discover DriverVtech - Learn & Discover Driver
Buy new: $21.99
A fun toy for button pushing as well as music and 'driving' to get the song you want...
Playskool Wheel Pals Racin FleetPlayskool Wheel Pals Racin Fleet
Buy new: $18.99
My son's pride and joy. He loves cars and these are small enough for him to grip and move around easily but big enough that if they are put in the mouth, they will not get stuck.
Gobble & Go HippoGobble & Go Hippo
Buy new: $34.95
A newer favourite. The kids love to walk with these and crash into each other. They like sitting on them, but their little legs aren't long enough for them to ride yet so we push them around. They like the walking better anyway as they like that it gobbles stuff up off the floor.
Playskool Busy Tumble TopPlayskool Busy Tumble Top
Buy new: $11.50
Another early favourite that we ended up needing 2 and they still fight over them now... This one is good for teaching them that they can make things move with their actions.
Bounce & Giggle - PigBounce & Giggle - Pig
Buy new: $18.79
My daughter loves this one. She loves to push the nose and make it bounce over and over again.

Good for learning shapes. The kids also learned that the bucket is good for carrying other toys around in.
Stack Up CupsStack Up Cups
Buy new: $6.97
Hands down favourite toy in the entire group. They both love these cups. They like to nest them, stack them and most of all bang them together...
Melissa & Doug Band in a BoxMelissa & Doug Band in a Box
Buy new: $14.98
So far, the maraca's are the winner from the box. Again, they like the 'music' they can make with them.
Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Musical FishbowlFisher-Price Ocean Wonders Musical Fishbowl
Buy new: $16.99
They like fish for some reason and love that the bowl makes music when the fish are put in it. And they like throwing the fish at each other too... ;)
Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics - Muscial Activity KeysFisher-Price Brilliant Basics - Muscial Activity Keys
Buy new: $8.38
A fun one for them that they like for the doorbell sound and the Wheels on the Bus song.
Brilliant Basics - Baby's First BlocksBrilliant Basics - Baby's First Blocks
Another toy for banging together for 'music.' Now, they have learned part of their shapes from this one as well.
