Clothes - For daycare she has to wear pants so tshirt/onzie and pants or capri pants outfits are perfect. She also needs jammies but the jammies have to be light weight 100% cotton because she gets very warm when sleeping. She is currently in size 6-9 months so I would go for 12 month or higher sizes. We also really need baby shoes, she has to wear shoes all the time in the next daycare class she wears size 3 shoes and they have to be fairly soft soled but preferrably something she could walk around in with the ground being wet not the kind that are canvas or fabric bottomed.
Toys - Any age old appropriate toy is fine and most toys have an age marked on them. We are especially fond of development type toys like wood blocks and things like that. She is very fond of really soft stuffed animals which we call lovies and tends to be dragging one of them around the house.

Her toddler room is going to be decorated with bugs so anything that goes with that theme is great. I have seen these great giant leaf bed canopies at ikea and anything like that to help decorate her toddler room would be great.
