I have a hard time picking out toys that are good for my 2 year old.  Since there are already so many toys in the house, hand me downs from his older brother, gifts from family…and just random purchases.  When I’m trying to get a toy that is PERFECT for him, it takes a bit of thinking.

William is a reader (both of my boys are) He loves to learn new things, and we all find great JOY in all of their accomplishments.   Since kids learn best through play, I really try to make sure I’m feeding the need to know with the perfect toy.

The Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo was one of the things I knew I wanted William to have.  He loves making animal sounds, and a toy that can help him reinforce the sounds and names that go along with each animal is sure to help in on his path of learning.  We’ve got it wrapped up and hidden away.  And Christmas morning is sure to be a blast.  I just know he’s going to love it…(and his big brother will love it too).
