toys with texture and sound

[nathansmom]

I am looking for a toy for a 4 month old. Nathan is into texture and sound. I'd like to find a toy or two that combines these two or even individual toys that cover the two. Any suggestions?

TIA

DS really likes Max the Monkey and Celeste the Sun by Lamaze. Max makes a monkey sound when shaken and has various textures. Also, his banana jingles. Celeste has a squeaky sound, a crinkly sound and a jingle. Both also have teething areas and stretchy "limbs."

We have almost the whole gang of Lamaze toys. Trotter the Pony was just acquired yesterday. We have the bug, the firefly, the goldfish (he's really cool), the inchworm... We also have this kind of barbell-shaped cat that makes noise when you shake him. His face lifts up and there's a mirror underneath. Sophie only JUST got into playing with her toys, so I rotate them.

They're great toys and you can't beat them for $12!

A new toy I found yesterday is the kickable windchimes from Tiny Love. Sophie is MESMERISED by them. The noise isn't annoying either. I think it was also about $12.

I just saw this at The Right Start. I don't have it but it looks like it could be fun and the age says 3 months and up.
