Answer
Math:
-Using muffin tins for 1-to-1 correspondence with toys, placing one toy in each section.
-Working with nesting cups or nesting blocks while talking about size comparisons and height.
-Matching games with socks, cards, or sets of toys (For example, combine pieces from two shape sorters, and encourage children to find the pairs that match by shape and color.)
-Scooping and pouring with sand or dry rice, filling and emptying containers of various sizes and using scoops of various sizes.
-Working with unit blocks, talking about shapes as they play.
-Using flannel board pieces, puppets, or toys to add and remove pieces as you sing "5 Little Ducks" or "5 Little Monkeys".
-Using glue sticks and basic shapes cut from construction paper to make collages.
-Sorting sets of similar toys (such as trucks, rubber ducks, or balls) from smallest to largest.
Science:
-Playing with flashlights
-Painting with ice cubes tinted red, yellow, and blue with food coloring
-Exploring shadows outside on a sunny day
-Painting with water using large brushes outdoors on a warm day, and noticing as it dries
-Going for a walk to collect leaves, rocks, and/or other natural objects
-Observing grasshoppers, ladybugs, or other non-toxic insects in a bug box. (Provide leaves/twigs for cover and a damp cotton ball for moisture, and turn loose again after a few hours.)
-Exploring fresh fruits of veggies using senses. How does each look inside and out, feel, smell, taste?
-Blowing soap bubbles.
-Exploring materials with different textures (burlap, silk, terricloth, etc.) with hands and/or bare feet

baby interactive toys?
rosey
What kind of interactive theme based activity centers are available for infants and toddlers? i.e. nursery rhymes, science, math, geography, music,etc... Do babies like this type of product and which would you recommend? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
I prefer the baby gym made by Selecta. Selecta makes quality wooden toys. They are more expensive, but well worth it! Babies benefit from exploring their environment; themes are not really necessary.
