[blparent] Toddler Toys

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Thanks.  These are the kind of tips I've been looking for.  I do have one 
Leap Frog alphabet toy that came from Sarah's older cousin.  It's a set of 
refrigerator magnets with the uppercase letters on them, which I can feel. 
It has a box, also magnetic, that sings a song about each letter when you 
fit it into the slot.  The box will also sing the whole ABC song.  Sarah has 
recently figured out how to put the letters in the slot, and although I 
don't think the phonetic sounds mean much to her yet, she likes the music.
