Farm Nesting Blocks by Mellisa and Doug
Pros: Improves Hand Eye Coordination, Teaches Animal Identification
Cons: None
We love all the Mellisa and Doug products. These blocks are not only great for nesting activities, but also for hand eye coordination in stacking, building and nesting. They also teach animal identification and our daughter can spend hours putting things into and taking things out of these containers. We highly recommend this product as well as all the Mellisa and Doug wooden puzzles that make noise and have knobs..the Farm Nesting Blocks given with a Mellisa and Doug Farm animal puzzle that makes noise would be a wonderful gift for any child. ...

Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Learning Home
2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Learning Fun, Lights, Sound, Doors open and close, Shapes, Colors, Concepts, great for learning to Crawl and Stand
Cons: None
This toy is so durable and fun!!! Our daughter got this toy when she was 1 year old. She was adopted at age 1 and was not yet walking or crawling. This toy helped her learn to walk and crawl, she learned her shapes, concepts like colors, open and close (door and window), radio, ABC, music, on and off for the light and you have mail :). She just loves all the Laugh and Learn Learning Home products!!! There is even a rain spout that counts and plays songs as well as a clock, changable house numbers and time of day (night of morning) with song and dialog. We highly recommend that all parents invest in this toy as well as the other Laugh and Learn products...especailly the phone and learning puppy also. ...



LeapFrog: Learn to Read at the Storybook Factory
Pros: Interactive and fun learning for kids
Cons: None
We currently own the Leap Frogs Letter and Words factory DVD's and think the Storybook Factory will be a welcome addition to inhance our daughters reading abilities. At 2 years old she can now recite all of her letters and letter sounds and is now starting to put words together. She can actually read and identifiy some words thanks to these wonderful DVD's! In this DVD they take the "Three Little Pigs" tale and perform their own unique take on the story. Any parent will find this DVD a fun and helpful tool in teaching their children to read. We recommend any and all of the Leap Frog DVD's listed in this review. ...
