toy ideas

[Guest guest]

I found these toys on the Toys R Us web site ?through http://shoptobeheard.com

?.Some are only available on-line.

& Doug Wooden Vehicle Sound Blocks?or Wooden Farm Sound Blocks-

These images come to life when their picture halves are properly matched!

Realistic sounds are the rewards for correctly matching the cube pieces in the

wooden tray...and only silence when you don't! It's a clever and fun way to help

reinforce cause-and-effect and matching skills.

& Doug Lacing Beads in a Box-

This timeless classic has been reborn with lively graphics. Numbers, animals and

colorful designs grace these smooth, chunky beads to enhance vocabulary and

recognition skills! Includes 30 solid-wood beads and 2 extra-long laces.

Recipient of the 2002 Oppenheim " Gold Award " .

Wood Stacking Train with Sounds and Lights-

A wooden light and sound train, plus colorful wooden blocks in all sorts of

shapes and sizes to load into the freight cars! What a great combination of

learning toys to introduce the concepts of sorting, stacking, cause and effect,

as well as reinforcing motor skill development. Helps develop color recognition,

hand-eye coordination and spatial relationships. 22 wooden pieces in 11 shapes

are in brightly colored, some with charming prints, ready to stack and sort in a

myriad of ways! Push the button on the " engine " train and you'll hear a choo

choo and see a light! 2 " AAA " Batteries included. Age 2+

A friend of mine loves these & Doug toys because they include?tactile,

auditory and fine/gross motor areas.
