Questions and answers
Is there a toy a 2-year-old boy can push while he walks?
Yes. The Hape push walker gives him something to steer as he moves around the house, with tunes he makes along the way.
What fits a boy who copies every grown-up on the phone?
He can pace and chat on the Chat and Count phone, or point the Snap and Giggle camera at the family the way grown-ups do with their phones.
Which picks work for a boy who loves animals?
Growling at every toy creature points to the safari animal puzzle, whose pieces come off the board for play. For building, the Duplo pet set turns one pile of bricks into different pets.
