What are some good educational toys for a 2 year old girl?

Q. My daughter is going to be two in May. I am wondering what would be some good educational toys for her. I have been looking but most of what I have been seeing is for infants and toys that she would get bored of. She likes things that make noise. Right now she is into drawing and organizing. She likes pushing things around. She is really into baby dolls right now. I got her one and some accessories to go with. I am just wondering what educational. I a curious what your child at this age likes or liked and also what are some toys to avoid? Thanks!

A. I would recommend anything Leapfrog. A couple that come to mind are the Leapfrog Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set and the Leapfrog Alphabet Explorer. Here is a link to all Leapfrog toys that are appropriate for a 2 year old-

Vtech also makes a toddler laptop. I don't have it but it looks like it got good reviews and it would be educational-

I believe it is for ages 18 months to 3 years.

My son likes his Little People Animal Sounds Farm. I would recommend that highly. Great for learning animal sounds and names and for speech (saying in, out, up, down).

What do you buy a one year old girl for christmas or birthday?
Q. My daughter will be 1 on november 16th, and christmas is right after. I also have friends with babies that will be turning a year old between now and then too and i just have no idea what to buy a 1 year old... And i would like detailed answers please. thank you =)

A. We were buying lots of things from Discovery Toys at that age. They have awesome infant and toddler toys. If you host a party, they are even more affordable. The Hammer a way, measure up cups, and tangiball were favorites at our house. (If you like those toys, you can often find more affordable similar toys in other brands at WalMart or Toys R Us.)

We also got our daughter a ride on toy like this one: http://www.littletikes.com/toys/push-ride-racer.aspx. To be honest, she had more fun playing with the box it came in. LOL


What should I buy my little brother for christmas?
Q. My mom want to know what I am getting him so she can save up for it and order it and all that. He is 1 years old probally like 16-18 months (not sure lol). What do you think about a sit N' Spin or a tricycle?
What ideas do you have?
She said nothing over 50 I think.

A. Learning toys are always great for infants and toddlers, I would find something that will help mold his little mind. Something along the lines of fisher price.

Little People® Pop ’n Surprise Train
Little People® Racin’ Ramps Garage™
Little People® Amazing Animals Circus

All of which are under $50 and are very nice, we bought them for our son when he was little.

Best of luck.
