Melissa and Doug toys

They are absolutely worth the money (they are considerably more expensive in Estonia than on amazon), not that much because of the quality, but mostly because Teodor plays with their toys every day. They keep him busy for dozens of minutes and that's amazing considering he is 14 months old. Another great feature I see in some of their toys is the multiple use, for example the latches board is now used for opening-closing doors, opening-closing the locks and recognizing the animals behind doors, but later it can be used for sorting colours. The house is now used for trying to open the locks, opening-closing doors, putting people in and out, walking with the people on the floor, but later it can be used for a pretend play. If we buy batteries, the ring bells would start ringing...not sure if I want to listen to that, so maybe he will never know about the "battery function". 
Latches board, so far he can open/close doors no. 3,6 and 4, currently he is working on closing no. 5.

 The house 4 doors with 4 different keys and 4 people. He is trying really hard to put the key inside of the lock, but it is still too challenging for him...but obviously not too much because he keeps trying.

Hammer game and a ball run in one. He loves this toy. The only problem is he likes to hit the coffee table with the hammer. 
I am not sure if this is Melissa and Doug toy, but bought it in the same shop as the other ones, it is a sound ball run, a lot of fun, too.
Walker, a nice idea, but the crocodiles stopped working quite instantly and the dad says they are so difficult to repair. Also the back wheel tend to loosen. Also not very suitable for outdoors. Currently lent to a friend and her daughter who is learning to walk.
