The Amazing Mess Preschool Gift Guide (Part 3)

Part 2:  Puzzles and Games

In this final post, I wanted to share our favorite electronic and learning toys!

Electronic Toys

There are so many options for electronic and learning toys.  Our very favorite has been the LeapFrog Leapster 2 Learning Game System.  I'm convinced my littlest can hold her pencil so well because of this game!

The LeapFrog TAG Reading System is a reader favorite.  I have heard rave reviews from lots of you!

The LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet is one of the most popular gifts of the season -- very rarely can you find it in stock now for retail price.

Not that you have to get it with the Mario Kart bundle (that was just the cheapest option I saw), but I saved and saved for a Wii Console.  The girls especially love it in the winter.  We use it for recess -- and a way to be active even when we're stuck inside!


Learning Toys

The Melissa & Doug See & Spell is well-made and works wonderfully as one of our Learning Baskets!

Since it is magnetic, the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Magnetic Pattern Blocks Set is nice to use in the car along with our travel activity bags.

Lauri Toys Toddler Tote is filled with hands-on activities for little ones, and it's fairly inexpensive.

This Lauri Toys Number Play set also includes a hands-on way to practice numbers.


There are so many more I could share...but I better limit myself!  I hope this gift guide has been helpful!  Feel free to leave your favorites in the comments below.
