When our son was learning to walk, this toy came in handy. Not only was it fun to play with the different sounds on the keyboard, and watch the gears go around, but it functioned as a walker. It is sturdy and durable, not to mention colorful. For about $25, it is hard to argue with such a great educational toy that will help equip your child with better balance and a lot of fun in the process.
This is one of those toys that I remember from nursery school. For some reason there is a great deal of delight in pushing the button and watching a cute little monkey or elephant pop out of their box accompanied by a sound. Push it back down, and the fun starts all over again.made by Playskool, this is extremely easy for your child to learn how to press, twist, and turn different knobs.

I am sure you remember the classic xylophone, made by Fisher-Price. Kids can use the string to pull it from room to room, where they can put on a small concert with the instrument.

Speaking of patience, I have yet to find a child who can resist playing a small set of drums. It is almost like it is hardwired into children, but this toy a is much less noisy than putting your pots and pans on the floor and letting them bang away with a wooden spoon. With a cymbal and three drums, each with its own sound, your kids can play along to a variety of maladies and choose from four different drum sounds.

It is less than $20, and teaches a host of motor skills as well as helping them to visually recognize numbers and shapes. This is a valuable and worthwhile toy for any toddler.
