Rainbow Sound Blocks
Each transparent block in this set contains different types of beads so each one makes a different sound which is great for kids learning to play with auditory cues. For children with usable vision, the bright colors are very attractive plus these blocks look great on a light table!http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005BHUU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wonderba...

Jungle Jive Game
Jungle Jive is a pretty simple game that gets your child up and moving. Each card depicts a different position (some harder to hold than others, there are 3 levels of difficulty) and each player has to mimic the position shown on their card while holding on to an electronic egg. The object is to hold the egg steady and not tip it - or it will laugh at you!http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032W05PS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wonderba...

Octotunes
Each leg on the octopus plays a different note when squeezed in a very airy and natural sound (this toy is not electronic so the sound is very peaceful). It also gives off a light vanilla scent when you squeeze it. Very soothing and multisensory!http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I2MRMY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wonderba...
