Comments on: Essential Toy Guide: Baby’s First Year http://www.thingamababy.com/baby/2008/11/baby-toy-guide-first-year.html A dad's eye view of baby and toddler stuff Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:05:52 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Nancy http://www.thingamababy.com/baby/2008/11/baby-toy-guide-first-year.html/comment-page-1#comment-8450 Nancy Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:22:01 +0000 http://www.thingamababy.com/?p=1419#comment-8450 Similar to the giraffe, my boys love the Busy Ball Popper. My youngest is now 2, and just today he pushed the plunger and squealed with glee when a ball popped up. I think it's rated for 9 months and up, though he was at least 1 before he really started to appreciate it. Similar to the giraffe, my boys love the Busy Ball Popper.

This was my son's favorite toy (and a muscle builder) as long as he had it. He kept going over there and playing with the toys even when we would not let him inside.

They surprise me. Lots of plastic! We are trying to tend more toward the wooden and cloth toys. We're LOVING the Oompa site you recommended in your cloth food post. Are these your suggestions?
