A very close friend of mine recently asked me for some toy recommendations for her niece. I sent her the following list mostly based on R's recommendations :). He has made use of almost all the toys we ever got for him - although there have been some favorites.
Smaller Toys
Counting Pal : R loved this one. He would finish his cereal in minutes while listening to the various tunes and playing with this toy. Since then I have gifted this to various friends.
Rock a Stack : Extremely silly toy but it has seen various uses over the years. R still plays with it once in a while.
Baby Blocks : He used to love playing with this one. Great for improving hand-eye co-ordination skills.
Choo Choo Train : Fun toy - our engine stopped working in some months though.
Alphabet Drum : R didn't have this one. We went to a friends place and he spent quite a lot of time playing with it.
Laugh and Learn Puppy : R didn't have this one - but have seen this one at a lot of friends place. This one is similar to the Leapfrog Tad which seems to be no longer available.
Rhyme and Discover Book : This was an all time favorite.
Learning Phone
Musical Mobile
Mozart Magical Cube
Larger Toys:
Play Gym : This was the most used toy in the first 6 months.
Learning Table/Playground : Extremely useful toy - R still plays with it once in a while.
Exersaucer : Great toy to keep the baby occupied and play by himself. R used this extensively from 5 months to almost 11 months.
Learning Home : Great learning toy. It takes a lot of space but well worth the money. R got this as a gift and still plays with it. It is amazing to see them play differently with the same toy over the years.

I gifted the Counting Pal to my friend's grandson on your recommendation, and I think he liked it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe counting pal was an instant favorite for my baby-boy.
