My toddler seems bored by his toys — any recommendations for versatile, preferably non plastic, toys for a 13 month old?

my recommendation would be simple household objects they see you interact with. Help they begin to engage them with them using their imagination:

a few old kitchen tools: measuring cups, spoons, whisk, etc + some water and dirt/sand 

cardboard box, blankets, ribbons and a few stuffed animals 

Been on this approach since the beginning and my 7yr old still operates in make believe and inventing games and storylines to play out. My 10yr old occasionally joins the younger ones.

This is great, he does seem obsessed with paper cups and wooden spoon — so many that's it, just rotate whatever objects we already have as long as it's not sharp
