Tot Tuesday

I have a confession to make....I love wooden toys, absolutely love them. Most of the time, the wooden toys that I covet are Melissa and Doug creations that I drool over in the toy stores and pray that I will find them at the thrift stores. I am addicted to wood based learning toys. I will never have enough wood puzzles or games. That's bad, huh? One good thing about this, though, is my tot loves them just as much as I do. He loves puzzles and games and I am thankful because I don't want to be the only one who plays with them :)

Kaleb is working with the Latches board that I found. This is a great learning tool, it has different locks and latches that he gets to experiment with. When he is successful, a different animal can be seen behind the doors.

Kaleb loves working with his shapes. This is one of my favorites and comes with different pictures for him to place the pieces. Kaleb can spend quite a bit of time playing with this one.

Another great find - a wooden puzzle of insects and a magnetic net to "catch" them. Kaleb likes manipulating the net to pull the insects from the puzzle. I love these learning tools and I know that wooden puzzles and games can tolerate a toddler boy and his whims. What are some of your tots favorites?
