The teaching cash register is really a great educational toy that can be found on HSN or at Toys R Us.  What makes this cash register so nice is that it will actually talk to your child and tell them how much money they have in their cash drawer.  It also has several games that your child can play and is a great way for them to learn or practice their math skills while playing.  ...

This is a little tool bench that comes with two modes: learning mode and music mode.  In learning mode, children can use the hammer to count the number of times pounded, slide the switch to learn shapes, or pull the tape measure to hear the ABC song.  In music mode, each of these activities either make a silly noise or play a common song.  Our children enjoy this toy.  It ca...

This toy has all the makings of a great educational toy.  You push the puppy and the child can learn their ABC's, 1-2-3's, and even the parts of the body.  It's also very cute and soft.  Unfortunately, this puppy was way too sensitive and missing a good off button.  Anything will set it off.  I'd often hear it counting or naming body parts from...

  We love this toy.  It is not plush and cuddly, though.  It is full of play and song.  I say we love this because my daughter loves to play with this and I do too!  It is so much fun and it is so cute.  This puppy teaches the alphabet, body parts, colors, and numbers.  It has ten songs.  I love the "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" s...

Fisher Price's Laugh & Learn Learning Home is a great toy for toddlers.  There is so much to explore that it is a toy that can grow with your child as he/she develops.  When my daughter was still crawlin, she had fun pressing the buttons and reaching for things.  As she started standing, there is plenty to pull up on and play with at the top.  Now that she walks and ...

We got my daughter the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Musical Learning Chair for her first birthday.  It was perfect as she was starting to stand up and move around.  This chair is lightweight and easy to move from room to room.  It is the perfect height for children to learn to climb up and sit on their own.  The many songs and noises keep little ones interested and make it...

  The Vtech Learning Laptop for kids four and up is a great learning toy.  My daughter always wants to play with our laptop.  We took her to the store and this is what she picked out.  She is three, but wanted this because "it's like daddy's laptop."    It is mostly too advance for her, but she still enjoys playing with it.  There is a music ...

I am always looking for toys that are fun and educational. This holiday season I also focused on toys that were safe and long lasting as I was tired of the product recalls and poor construction. For my 3-year-old son I chose the VTech Fly and Learn Globe to give him an interactive and educational toy to play with. At first glance this globe is very colorful and bright, which appealed to my son ...

I started using the Pampers Feel 'n Learn training pants when I started potty training my daughter.  These training pants are just like regular pull-ups, with the main difference being that they have a liner that gets cool when it gets wet.  This is supposed to be uncomfortable for the child so that they dislike going potty in their pants.  This did not work for my daughter.&...

Cleaning is also a bit troublesome. The Leap Frog Learning Table has man...

The Leap Frog Leapster Learning System was the first handheld game we purchased for our son. He was around 3 when we got it for him. We thought it might be too difficult for him at that age, but we worked on it with him and he learned to operate it very quickly. We bought games that were appropriate for his age, and he learned so fast with this system that it amazed us. We were happy to spend t...

This adorable little puppy dog is a great gift idea for a baby as young as 6 months.  It stands about a foot tall, and has buttons embedded in its ear, tummy and paws.  There are different modes, so when these buttons are pressed the puppy will either sing songs (ABCs, 123s, parts of the body, and others) or say the part of the body or colors.  At 7 months, my son is too young to...

   I love Leapfrog products.  We were in Target and my daughter saw this and wanted it.  Since it was only about $10, I bought it.  Lilly is so cute and my daughter likes this toy a lot.  There is a clip or ring on it that makes it so you can snap Lilly on a stroller or car seat.  My daughter likes to hold onto the ring to carry Lilly around.  There is a ...

The VTech Crazy Legs Learning Bug is a great learning toy that will grow with your child.  When we first got it, my daughter was a year old and liked it for the music.  As she got older and started walking, she began to use it as a pull-toy and would drag it by the included string.  Now that she's a bit older, she's trying to learn the puzzle function.  The Crazy Bug...

Learn-Along Leap, made by LeapFrog, is a fun toy for toddlers.  I used it with my baby to keep her entertained.  He is a small, soft plush toy with a hook/clip so you can easily attach him to the diaper bag, car seat, or stroller. My daughter loves the alphabet song so she always loved when Baby Leap would sing it to her.  This was especially useful to keep under our changing tab...
