Andrea’s First Christmas Gift

I am not a Christmas lover but I am sooo excited about the fact that this is going to be Andrea’s first Christmas. I’ve been looking around for a gift for her and just today I got her one already….woohoo.

I chose this for the following reason.

1. It’s big enough that she won’t put it inside her mouth.

2.  The other toys within this price range are aides for walking. She doesn’t need that as she’s already walking.

3. It shows cause and effect. Andrea already knows how to switch on the light and then she’ll immediately look up to watch the light turn on. I’m sure she’ll appreciate the buttons here.

4. I got it for 50% off

5. It’s not in the list of toys with LEAD.

6.  She can use it for a long long time (by that I mean a year or two)

7. Andrea’s in a spanking mode. She hits objects to see how they sound, the on/off button is that giant red button you can see.  She just needs to hit it and it would activate music and motion.

8. It’s not fully automatic, most of the parts are there for her to explore manually.  I think manual toys are so much better than automatic toys.

9. There are a variety of animals, I can use this to teach her about animals.

Now, my only problem is this. Can I wait until Christmas before I  give it to her?
