Best Toys

Starting what seems like months before the holiday season, we are bombarded with images, print advertisements and television commercials of what Christmas toys to buy for the children in our lives. For older children it is a bit easier to choose among the hundreds of toys available, because the kids can just let you know what kinds of things they might like. However, when you are shopping for a toddler, they are unable to be quite as vocal about their wants. If the child you are shopping for is not your own, it is all the more difficult to decide what to buy them. If you are interested in finding a fun and education toy that is also cute and cuddly, you should check out the Fisher-Price Musical Learning Cow.

This toy is for babies and toddlers ranging from six months to thirty-six months and has features that grow with the child. The cow is really cute and has many different colors in order to teach your child about colors. Her ears are purple, while her feet are orange, blue and green. In addition to colors, if you hug her or press her belly, she will sing songs and can also moo to help your child learn about animal sounds. It also has the ability to count so your child can get an early head-start in learning her numbers. The Fisher-Price Musical Learning Cow is so cute and cuddly kids love to play with her, not even realizing that they are learning as they do so.

If you are buying a gift for a friend or family member’s child, you may want to think about the toy you are buying for them and consider whether the parent will find it annoying. Often when a toy is loud or plays unnecessary music or sound, it can be frustrating to hear it over and over again, which is likely when a child has its hand on it because they like repetition. However, the parent may not mind a toy like the Fisher-Price Musical Learning Cow, just because it is at least educational noise, as opposed to noise for the sake of noise.

Overall this toy claims to aid in a wide variety of learning areas for young children. It helps with learning numbers, counting, colors, and opposites. Because the cow will respond when your child touches it, it also teaches the concept of cause and effect. While it is not something you might think of right away when talking about developmental skills, the importance of teaching a baby about friendship and showing affection are also added bonuses with this toy, not to mention giving them a sense of security when they can hug the cow to feel safe and loved.
