I just got an easel for painting/chalkboard and four wooden puzzles with knobs on the pieces and more age appropriate books for my grandbaby. What other toys would help a 16 month old?

What Do You Think Of All Those Educational Toys?

Do you think that they are just a way of making money by making parents insecure? Or do you think they really help? Or, do you prefer spending a lot of time with your kids outside and showing them things?
I personaly can see the point of those toys and would buy my kids some of them, but I also think it is important to spend active quality time with kids. What do you think?
What Do You Think About Educational Toys And Videos?

Seems like there’s been this explosion of educational toys and videos out for children in the past few years. LeapFrog, Baby Einstein, and many many more.
I’ve just been thinking though. Back when our parents and grandparents were young, their parents taught them everything. Every single thing they learned was something they learned from their parents. Does anyone else think it’s a bit sad that it went from parents teaching kids everything, to parents popping in a Baby Einstein video and saying “Look how smart they are!“
I mean, yes they’re getting smarter from these toys and don’t get me wrong because it’s wonderful. But it seems a bit sad that the only credit parents have in that is going out and getting the toy from walmart or popping in the dvd. What do you think?
