Re: need recs for educational toys for my DS
I got my DS First Word Flash Cards to help him talk. He loved taking them out of the box and putting them back.
I used to put a few out and ask for the "cat". When he found the cat, we'd repeat "cat" a few times.
Turns out "tractor" was on of his favorite cards and first words.
Borders has them - you can also check out best bargin books. I think Dr. Suess/Cat-in-the-hat and Baby Einsteins have versions too. These were thick cards. Not the multiplication ones I had in school.
First word cards @ borders

DD didn't have a speech delay but she loved those cards -they have them for all different things (moving items - like trains, cars, etc; then there is an animals set etc - so check them all out.) They are touch and feel so they were a little more exciting than the plain flash cards - we would do treasure hunts where I would hide them around the room and she had to find certain cards.

Re: need recs for educational toys for my DS
how about the alphabet blocks?
You can spell out words, build towers and knock them down.

I would have thought it was the oposite - DS has a book that makes car noises and he copies them.

Re: need recs for educational toys for my DS
Last year DS was 16 months for Christmas. We got him this train station toy because a friend of his had it and he loved playing with it.
It teaches and pronounces, letters, numbers, shapes, colors, animals. He loves this toy still!!!! I truly believe this is how he learned his letters, numbers and colors so early.
By far the best toy I think we have ever bought him!!!!!!!!!
They may be phasing them out, so not sure how easy they are to get anymore. I know they sell them through Amazon and V-tech.com
It's the v-tech alphabet train station.
