Question by mommy: Any suggestions on good entertaining, educational toys…..?
I have a 22 month old. He is too old for the noise making, button pushing toys. He likes sorting, and toys that are challenging. Do any of you have suggestions of GREAT toys that are entetaining for my little guy????

Time for some puzzles! In the frame, wooden puzzles are great, and you can choose from a wide variety without breaking the bank. My daughter’s favorite was/is Melissa & Doug’s talking US Map. When you put the state/piece in place, the puzzle names the state and its capital. Beyond puzzles, you can find lots of engaging, quality toys from M&D–they’ve got tons of great stuff, and all of it exceeds US Safety Standards.
