Carol's Cool Picks
Imaginative play is so very important for a child's development.  That's one of the reasons I love the jumbo animal sets for Learning Resources.  There are 5 different sets that range from Jumbo Pets to Jumbo Dinosaurs.  If you have a toddler who's starting to recognize animals, these sets are just perfect for little hands.
