I'm very picky when it comes to buying toys for my kids. Naturally I want them to have the best of everything, but that doesn't justify breaking the bank either. I tend to lean more towards learning toys; things they have to figure out, bright colors, things they can use their imaginations with, things like that.

Link a Doos are terrific. They went over very well with both of my kids (now aged 3 & 1) and I would definatly recommend them to everybody. They are also reasonably priced, very durable and they provide hours of enjoyment as your child grows.
