Hmmm at 4-6 months they were still pretty into soft toys and the activity mat w the stuff hanging that they could bat and whatnot.
For Christmas at 9 months we got them an activity cube, a ball popper, and a castle gate thing. My parents got them a car racetrack thing that they loved too. This is also the age they started getting into the pusher things.

The dog can be personalized to play certain songs, talk about certain foods or colors, and will say your kids name. The dinosaur is a bike to scoot on but can be switched to a walking toy while the kid is learning to walk. Both were DD's favorite things for a long time.
Play table, his push toy (almost identical to the dog margot posted, except andy's is a lion), wooden stacking rings, push cars, water table, and this thing, which he pushes to make music and then sits and dances next to: www.walmart.com/ip/Fisher-Price-Laugh-and-Learn-Learning-Lantern/20636970
For his birthday I got him a set of melissa and doug musical instruments, and his favorite is the pair of baby cymbals, which he sits and bangs together like a performing monkey
Oh and things he has loved since he could hold a toy: TV remotes, water bottles, empty diaper boxes and pulling the throw pillows off the couches. He would be very content to play with the above, and the above only, for HOURS and always has.
Everyone from babies to adults seems to love them. They can be used for dress up, fort building, peek a boo, really anything you can think of. They are really cheap and fun to make too.

Enlighten me. Are they just pieces of silk fabric?

Yes, just squares or rectangles of colored silk. You can buy undyed silk very cheaply online (I've purchased a couple times from here) and then dye it yourself with koolaid. It's one of those simple toys that kids seem to really love.

4 mo - activity mat.
6 mo - 9mo - baby einstein jumper.
9mo - 12mo - board books - especially those with lots of pictures (she had an abc book with a bunch of pictures of things that started with each letter that she LOVED)
12-15 mo - the walker
15-18 mo - books, a wooden spoon and a box, the ipad
18mo - 24mo - blocks (foam - they don't hurt when you step on them), the ipad
24 - now - dolls (with clothes), crayons, plastic zoo animals, cars/trucks/trains (wheels), balls, the ipad, her stuffed bunnies + hair accessories for their ears...
my husband used empty diet mountain dew bottles to teach L how to crawl and then walk. they were her favorite thing ever mos. 5-16.
I keep a tub filled with random lids, containers, measuring cups, spoons, scoops, etc and that is by far the most played with thing with both kids(10 months and almost 6 years). It is a lifesaver when I am cooking dinner.
Actual toys that have been big: balls, the B Parum Pum Pum drum set, Green Toys dump truck, wooden fruits and vegetable (Plan Toys makes good sets), Topzy Tumblers (they are like weebles and fit in DS' hand perfectly), and blocks.
DD loves her Fisher Price Laugh & Learn play table but REALLY loves her little friends Playskool Rocktivity table. She will crawl on strangers to get to it.
