Recently, I have begun to purchase wooden toys that I feel are pretty educational, whereas Hubby kept those that he felt were not useful in Ian's development.
I started off with a chunky wooden puzzle from Melissa & Doug and it had kept Ian busy for a while. Soon, he has mastered how to put the correct pieces into the puzzle, and so I got more of them in my recent spree at Amazon.
On top of the puzzles, I also purchased a shape sorting clock. Although it was meant for 3+ year old children, I simply could not resist the sale price.
See how Ian played with the little blocks...
