My sister is right into educational toys, so Zander has gotten some interesting presents from her. One that he loved & played with for months & months after his birthday was an animal thingo. What you do is press a button & one animal pops up, turn a dial & another animal pops up, do you see what I mean LOL? If not I can put a photo of it on Zander's site cos it's hard to explain. Anyway he loooved it & it was great because it took him ages to have the motor skills to do all of the switches.
