What kind of toys are your daughter's favorite? Our baby seems to prefer anything BUT toys: TV remotes, cell phones, DVD players, board games...anything I try to keep away from him he wants even more! ;) He does love books, which is a relief, most of all when they're ones I DON'T want him to chew!
Our baby must have had a pow-wow with your baby to decide that real baby toys are unacceptable! She likes measuring cups, spoons, food from our plates, remotes, crumbs from the floor, cords from electronic devices, cell phones, regular phones, steps, toilets, etc. We're still working on the books thing... usually, she'll try to chomp on them while I'm reading. This narrows our selection down to board books since I refuse to let her destroy "good" books:)
I saw that walmart had a cute little set for babies with keys, a remote and a cellphone that "talked"... at $8 it might be worth it!
Ah, yes, cords! How could I forget? My laptop cord is an especial favorite. We might have to make a trip to Wal-Mart to check out the set you mentioned (he's nearly destroyed my cell phone), but I don't know. Maybe if I "adopt" everything first he'll be into it!
Oh, and our board book collection? Huge! I'm amazed at what's available in board book form now. My mom finally had to say, "He doesn't need two copies of everything!" (One "real" book, one board book!)
I found an old cellphone that we don't use anymore and the baby LOVES to play with it! I charge it up and she thinks that it is the coolest toy evah! Maybe someone you know has one they don't need anymore for your baby!
