They have that "my first crayola" line an color wonder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-educational-1-yr-old-toys#post-140247 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 11:09:06 +0000 anbanan15 140247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: we love scout around here! I saw the peek-a-shoe one but wasn't sure. I was also interested in the picnic basket and potsy. Thoughts on those? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-educational-1-yr-old-toys#post-140166 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:34:58 +0000 brownie 140166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and cars. My little boy just loves cars right now and they will grow with him. He will make the car noises and everything now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-educational-1-yr-old-toys#post-140162 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:34:27 +0000 brownie 140162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our little boy just loves his leapfrog peek-a-shoe. They put a ball in and it hides under a shoe. They have to lift the shoes and find it. It is definitely problem solving (though mostly he just likes dropping the balls and other toys in it). The other one he just got was the Leapfrog dog Scout. You connect it to your computer and it says his name and favorite foods and stuff like that. He loves that thing even though he has only had it a few days. It sings songs and counts and does emotions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-educational-1-yr-old-toys#post-140120 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:24:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 140120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh he also liked those pop-up toys... the ones with the button, slide thing, knob to turn, etc. and the characters pop up. He still plays with those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-educational-1-yr-old-toys#post-140117 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:24:23 +0000 mrs. wagon 140117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: yeah, we never got it (we get so many hand me downs that we have a strict no-buy policy for toys over $5) but whenever we come across it at someone's house or a store, Wagon Jr. goes crazy over it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-educational-1-yr-old-toys#post-140061 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:08:42 +0000 anbanan15 140061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks. We have a Mellisa and Doug snowman stacker DS got for Christmas and a puzzle DS just got not too long ago. I know the buckle board you are talking about! I always loved that thing :) I might have to go pick it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-educational-1-yr-old-toys#post-140036 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:58:44 +0000 mrs. wagon 140036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wagon Jr. loved the ring stacker and puzzles. Melissa and Doug also does a board that has buckles and things like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-educational-1-yr-old-toys#post-140028 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:53:58 +0000 anbanan15 140028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What toys would you consider being the most educational or challenging toys for a one year old? </p> <p>We have things like blocks and shape sorter, but I'm looking for some more ideas for age appropriate toys that will challenge DS and help develope his fine motor skills. </p>
