He will paint for at least an hour at the little toddler table in the kitchen. He likes to ask for more paint over and over and we have to keep him in the kitchen with the toddler gate so we won't be wiping paint off the entire house. These paints wash right off with a wet rag.

These markers rock because they are washable and you won't lose the tops!

We had one of these as a kid. I bought this as a joke for my husband but now it is one of our son's favorite toys. He loves hugging it, punching it, knocking it over and squeaking its nose. It is a great diversion when he becomes interested in hammering the piano with a wood block.

Good for knocking down block towers and carrying small toys.

Very fun to drag him around in the tunnel, he thinks it's hilarious.

There is nothing like a bin of Hot Wheels to keep him busy for hours. Rolling them around, looking at them, pouring them out of the bin and putting them back in.

He loves this stool and I've heard that it helps them learn how to spell their names.

Great for doctor's waiting rooms. No need for colors, mommy's pen will do and he enjoys looking for Elmo in the pages.

Any ball will do but he especially loves his Gertie ball, soccer in the house is okay with this soft ball.
