New Mommy!
I have a 2.5 year old boy who loves to play with my phone. I have downloaded several apps on my phone specifically for him to use. He knows how to unlock my phone and put the apps he wants to play with, mainly they are numbers, letters, shapes, etc.
I am considering getting him the Leap Pad or the Innotab from Vtech for Christmas, but am not sure which one yet. I have considered buying a tablet for the family and downloading apps to help the learning process. I have tried to sit with him and teach him with books, blocks, cards, etc and he pays far more attention to the electronic type devices and is learning new stuff everyday.
I know some parents that have ipads and let their children use them, but they are too expensive to let a toddler play with in my opinion.
Do any of you have anything similar with your children or what would you recommend?
Answer
Get the new Leap Pad. My daughter has the Explorer and they take the same cartridges and they are absolutely wonderful for learning. My daughter is only 3 and at the 4th grade level.

Childrens toy shopping?
Crys
I went to Wal Mart today, browsed the toy aisle a little.
I've been wanting to get my children (Ages 1,3,4) Vtech type of toys, or fun learning toys. I found a Fisher Price toy that sings the Abcs, numbers, and songs. I'm thinking about getting it.
Also, the electronic books that read to you, for when I'm busy and I can't read to them.
I want to get these, because my oldest loves to read, or have people read to him. And, they play with my one year olds toys, so I'm thinking about getting them the book, and some "fun, exciting" toys, and getting her (one year old) the Fisher Price toy.. so when they get bored with their toys, they can play with that one to. I think they would like it, but I don't know if it's the best idea.
What do you think? I want to get them some fun, learning toys, so that they can learn as they listen.
Like I said, they play with my daughters toys. She has a Vtech helicopter and blender, they play with it more than she does. So, I think they would enjoy it. But I would like to get something they really enjoy, which is why I'm thinking of getting that for her, they'll end up playing with it, I'm sure.
Answer
I think those are all great ideas and very well thought of. Just don't skimp out or forget the simple stuff.
I found that my kids also like to play with the most odd and simple toys. I buy them mostly educational toys that I sit down and play with them but they are uber excited to play with a simple empty soda bottle. So I like to buy them a few educational toys and a few simpler ones.
My 2 year old daughter's favorite toy is a small sesame street "Oscar the grouch" toy that does not do anything. It is simply made for her to hold. She loves that thing and totes it everywhere!! It only cost a couple of bucks but it has made such joy in her short life so far.
