Any suggestions for a good educational toy for a three yr old?

she has the LeapFrog Scribble and Write..


Answer
Anything made by Leap Frog- I love their products!

Arts and crafts supplies- crayons, fingerpaints, sidewalk chalk, blank paper and coloring sheets

musical instruments- harmonica, tambourine, maracas, cymbals, bells, CDs with lullabies and nursery rhymes and classical music on them.

Puzzles

Board games such as Chutes and Ladders

Card Games such as Memory

Bubbles, balls, balloons

Mega Blocks, Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys

Slides, Swings, Trampoline, Sandbox (and beach toys), toys to play with in the bathtub or sink (kitchen utensils work well).

Sports equipment- toddler basketball, baseball/softball, etc.

Refrigerator Magnets (alphabet and numerical)

Magnifying Glass, Critter Cage

DVDs- Leap Frog makes some educational DVDs as well

Computer software and/or websites- I have a three year old daughter who likes JumpStart. We also visit BrainQuest, Starfall and other websites.

Wagon

Dress up (stock up after halloween- various wigs, hats, facepaints, shoes, costume jewelry, etc.)

BOOKS! The look and find books are great, Books A Million has a big selection of them (some specifially for toddlers with more durable pages). Barnes & Noble has a great selection of DK Baby books, which are great for infants and toddlers. Traditional storybooks are great. Read to them, ask them questions such as how would that make them feel, what they think will happen next and my 3 year old likes to "retell" the story to me (an early reading skill).

Games such as Simon Says, I Spy, etc.- no toy required.

Instead of buying a toy, try spending that money on an activity instead. A month of Gymboree/Little Gym or gymnastics, dance, etc. Trip and/or membership to the aquarium, zoo, children's museum.

There are free activities, as well. Most libraries and/or book stores have a weekly story time.
