Jasmine van Zoest

(This post will be edited/updated soon to include reviews.)

As most new parents, we were overwhelmed by the amount of toys and things you are suggest to buy for your child. We have bought many things where some turned out to be invaluable and others had little to no impact to any of our lives. To help our friends, who recently decided to have kids and for all of you out there looking to sift through the endless list of things you could buy. We started a "Recommendations" category, where Jade and I will highlight the products we would consider buying again.

The first list we decided to make is one of our favorite toys that stimulate mental development of your child. We had invested a fair amount of time, locating the best toys, but some where more liked by Jasmine then others. Some of these, were also gifts for Jasmine. They were fantastic. On to the list (in no particular order),

1. Intellitainer Exersaucer by Fisher-Price.
2. Mozart Magic Cube by Munchkin.
3. Spins & Spirals Loops by HaPe EduCo.
4. Wimmer Ferguson's Mind Shapesby Manhattan Toy.
5. Toes, Ears, & Nose! A Lift-the-Flap Book (Board book) by Marion Dane Bauer (Author), Karen Katz (Author) of Little Simon.
6. Castle Wooden Puzzle by Chelona.
