Hi all! I haven't been around much in the past few months but used to be a regular poster on the boards here. In any case, DS is 5 mo. old now and i've been scoping out some new toys for him to use in coming months.
Like many of you, I have an aversion to plastic and electronic toys for the most part. I'm also trying to go with toys that have longevity. I was thinking about getting some puppets and the ones from baby einstein are pretty reasonably priced. THey don't seem to have "arms and legs" for the most part, mostly just a movable mouth, but I do like that they can also be used in the bath.
I thought these would be nice for bathtime and story time play right now, and then as he gets older he can do his own imaginative play with them (and daddy can build a nice puppet theatre for him!!!). I'm hoping I'm being reasonable in assuming they'll have some longevity.
Just curious if anyone has puppets for their kids, whether your kids like them, and if you have the baby einstein ones specifically. Thanks:)
