My daughter is loving pretend play.
I'm thinking to get a kitchen set or maybe a baby set with a crib, high chair etc.

Toy trains
Puzzles
Play dough

My baby is 16 months, so not at the exact same stage. We have what you mentioned plus a sorting tool bench, an activity table, and info climbing slide, a toy for taking on a walk (an animal, not a walker) some strollers and shopping carts….
I forgot we also have a soccer/basket ball combo toy, and I’m waiting for it to warm up and then I’ll get an outdoor water table, and I have an outdoor sport set that I will open for him, and we have lots of ride-on toys.

Thank you for all the ideas!

A stroller is a great idea. So are stickers and playdough.

Those are probably good places to start.

Shopping cart. We have the cute target one. They love putting random stuff inside
Also some like those magnetic trains that attach to each other.

can you think what she mainly enjoys to play with? Maybe you just have the wrong toys

Pretend play - dolls, dollhouse, shopping cart, play food, mentchies...
Building toys - lego, magna tiles, plus plus toy, pegs
Creativity - projects, stickers, coloring, play doh
Books
active play - slide, blow up mattress to jump on, Pikler, trampoline, stepping stones..

if shes obsessed with say books make sure to have a lot of books in the house....

I have also found that rotating toys works wonders!! put some toys away for a couple weeks, then bring them back out and put others away. keep doing this and it feels like they get new toys since they forgot about the ones you put away (don't tell them you’re putting them away or make it a big deal of "rotating toys", just do it)

Little ones also like to turn them over and put things inside

Great for like a sorting color activity! These can be used in so many ways. I’ve seen super expensive ones that I was tempted about but these seem good. Does it make a lot of noise? My neighbors constantly complain of jumping and running noises so maybe I should hold off until we move to a house iyH.

Definitely need a doll carriage or shopping cart.

Messy stuff, kids love the messy stuff. Coloring, cutting, gluing, sand, water, clay, etc.

Also ride on toy/bike inside the house.

I don't think more toys is what'll make them happy. It's having variety. Switching the toys around does wonders. I rotate the toys weekly - check what he's been busy with, leave those out, and switch the others. Generally I don't have more than 8 toys out. Much easier cleanup. Kids stay happy when there's something new, even if that 'new' thing was also out 2 weeks ago.
Not that I never buy new toys, I do as he gets bigger, but once you think you need new toys it'll never end...

A two year old doesn’t need a lot of toys. Agree with variety, getting out of the house and creative play. My son loves to play with real pots and pans and empty bottles and toilet paper holders. We also swap toys with friends
