I'm adopting a boy who will be two years old when we bring him home. I want to teach him that material goods aren't everything, so I don't want to buy him a lot of toys. I've already gotten him some Duplo blocks and a toy dump truck, but I need other ideas. Preferably, the toys would be simple, make little electronic noise, and be still interesting as he gets older.

I got my daughter this almost like a lesson plan called wowkits and it pretty much show u different activites u can do with your tot that helps with motor skills, language and so forth n it also gets him/her to interact with u n bond. It comes with some toys or u can buy some of the toys on the sight that r educational n not very expensive. I also do the baby signing time with my daughter n she just LOVe the dvd's because of the music. I think if u can try n teach him baby signing. It's a great bonding experience!.. and if he can't talk much or is to shy to talk he can learn to communicate his needs threw his hands:) if ur just curious about the wowkits or baby signing time u can just look them up on youtube;) oh n a watertable with boats might be fun for him in the summer time;)

Toys that encourage an almost two year old to talk more?

I'm attending a friend's party tomorrow for her daughter who will be turning two. I'm very concerned about her little ones speech. Both of the little girl's parents spoil her rotten in the area of speech and don't require her to talk. They just give her what she wants and let her get away with pointing, crying, and grunting and other gestures that don't require her to vocalize. I don't want to ruin the friendship by bringing this up. So, the question is: Is there a toy that would encourage my friend's daughter to talk more? (I've already researched this and found the idea of mom role playing with daughter with a voice recorder, tea set, and pretending they are at the zoo. So, I need something different)
I'm a K-8 special education teacher. I'm well aware that every child develops at a different rate. The situation with my friends and their child is extreme and is painful for me to watch and see her so catered to. If it wasn't an extreme case, I would ignore it because I value my friendship with the child's parents. However, I also value a child's right to not be held back by a parent's enabling behavior.
So many wonderful ideas! Thanks to all of you who gave ideas that answered my question and didn't go off topic with a lecture that I didn't need. Also, some of the ideas you all gave though they are not appropriate for this year (due to the fact that some toys can only be purchased online and I need the gift today and some are not activities she can do by herself) I WILL keep them in mind for the years to come. Most of you set me up with ideas not only for this year but for the years to come...THANKS!
