DS2 loves playing with stickers. I however do not like finding them everywhere and he will still put them in his mouth. Are there any colorform type toys (remember those :D ) that are bigger and toddler (18 months) appropriate?

Thanks!

My 17.5 month old loves stickers as well. I would love to see what people post.

We have some sticker activity books (I've seen them at costco, kohls, target etc.) and they at least come off relatively easily.

Yes, sticker books where the stickers are made of vinyl like Colorforms. Mudpuppy makes great ones called "Mini" sticker play scenes. As people have mentioned, you can find books that have reusable stickers in them. That's really what you're looking for-- reusable stickers are made of vinyl. The only catch is that technically these aren't made for kids under 3. I'd be comfortable with them if I were watching, though.

Here's one that MIL got for my kids a while back, I don't think she ordered it from here, but this is the same one:

My 22mo DD#2 plays with Colorform sets.

My DD had a ton of magnet sets - they come in all kind of sizes and characters, ect. Some (we have one from the Disney store) have thicker magnet people (mounted on a thin piece of wood) which makes them easier to grasp for toddlers - see second link. Imaginetics is one brand. They lose some pieces but overall travel pretty well.

Sorry - I can't get the links to go on one line.
