hi

a felt board is something like this:

just google "felt boards" and all kinds of them come up.  my daughter really liked her around 18 months to 2 years old.  she's kind of over them now though.

Karen, all you need is a sibling for Marisa.  Allie is just starting to get into Katie's toys and lo and behold, whatever Allie has is immediately Katie's "favorite" toy (even if she's shown NO interest in it for about 6 months). 

I'm guessing there are probably easier (and faster) ways though :)

Yep... here, too. Not only is he interested in them again but, apparently, everything is his. ::)

I'm sure that if you brought some of the old toys out again that dc will be interested in them. LO's are fascinated by all toys and, if they haven't played with them in a long time, they may find another use for them.

I think rotating toys works great.

Asher LOVES books...I ask him a lot of questions as we look through them. Like where is the cat? How many ducks? I find him looking at the books by himself and later bringing them to me saying, "cat" and pointing to it.

We have also started play dates with friends that I used to avoid and I am becoming active in our church where the mommies do a lot of group play activities. I was always too shy. But, I know it is best for Asher if he plays with others.

Your library should have a toddler story time (free). And your mall should have an indoor playground (free) - go in the am since it will be freshly cleaned  ;). We also create "splash days" where we set up a sprinkler and a kiddie pool with bath toys for all our friends. We rotate houses and stuff...

I got tired of buying new toys and now, he seems more interested in the toys he already has, I guess because he doesn't get to see them everyday since we are off playing with others.
