I like the Dr. Noys toys. Ben will play with stuffed toys for a long time and then one day just decides to destroy it. Sometimes, he rips them up right away. But the Dr. Noys toys are very durable and even if he does manage to rip something on it, there is no stuffing, so no mess. He has a couple that I bought 2 years ago that are still usable. They are washable too.
Ben's favorite are talking toys. One of his favorites, believe it or not, are those talking Taco Bell dogs they either sold or gave in kid's meals way back. He liked one so well, that I bought up a bunch of them on ebay. I was getting them like 10 at a time and then just giving them to him as he destroyed one. These were a lot cheaper than the talking toys in pet stores. I had some of those silly slammers, that talk or make weird noises when slammed, that he loved too, but have not seen them in stores for awhile. As I am typing this he is shaking a Taco Bell dog, getting it to talk. That is my cue to chase him, try to get the dog, and then throw it for him. Who says I am not getting exercise?
I just ordered him a Jr. Hide-a-Squirrel and one of those Talking Treat Balls that you record your own voice into. My bet is he will love them, just not sure how long the squirrels will last. |
