High Maintenance Mom

As I was trying to watch the SuperBowl, we were bringing out all the favorite toys so I thought I'd answer the post about games for different ages by listing some of Scavenger's favorites. S, 19 months, loves books with flaps, cars and anything he can push, magnetic puzzles, and a magnetic fishing set. Below are a few examples...

Here are a few of his favorite lift-the-flap books. He doesn't always treat them well but he loves them.

• Cars, Trains, Planes, and Trucks (Fisher-Price Little People Flip & Learn)
• Elmo's Balls
• Who Said Moo?

We also have a few puzzles with big knobs and a Melissa & Dave magnet puzzle that he loves.

• Wooden Magnetic Hide & Seek Doors
• Wooden Magnetic Farm Hide & Seek)

Cars and trains he can push (he says vroom, vroom when he does it)

• Anything Thomas... S's favorite is Thomas & Friends Sodor Power Crew Vehicle
• The Thomas & Friends Sodor Gift Pack with Henrietta is a great starter set as is any set by Imaginarium (they work with Thomas and Brio sets but are less expensive).
• S also loves Tonka cars and trucks. We have a big set of vehicles and have saved a few, just for trips.

And he loves to carry around the the fishing pole and fish from Ready Set Learn! Paz's Fishing Set. Sometimes he swings the fishing rod like a hockey stick and other times he wants to connect a fish. The fishing set is currently the toy the kids fight over the most.

Of course, S spent most of the SuperBowl playing with the couch cushions or making loud truck noises.
