I got a Fisher Price Doodle Pro for my son on his first birthday, and he was immediately fascinated with it. He scribbled on the screen to his heart’s content, and the best part was that there was no mess to be had! He watched as I erased the screen with the erasing bar, and was soon able to do this himself. He would play with it for hours, scribbling something on the screen, erasing it, and starting all over again. I then decided to start using the Doodle Pro as a teaching tool. I would draw pictures of things and name them, and I would do letters and numbers. It was with this that he first learned how to count to 10 and started to recognize letters of the alphabet. Now he pulls out his Doodle Pro asks me to draw stories for him on it, after which he grabs the pen from me and starts to “color” everything in. He loves his Doodle Pro so much that I ended up buying two more, one to keep at grandma’s house and a small travel size version to keep him entertained in the car.

The Fisher Price Doodle Pro is a magnetic drawing board that comes in all the colors of the rainbow, and they have even come out with some themed sets, such as Disney’s Cars and Dora the Explorer. They also come in several sizes, from the standard large Doodle Pro to the smaller travel size one. All of the Doodle Pros have a pen that is attached to the board, so it won’t get lost, and the large Doodle Pro has a additional drawer with four magnetic shapes. The Fisher Price website states that this product is for 3 years and up, however I let my son use it from 1 year old - I just took away the magnetic shapes until he was old enough to play with them properly and made sure I supervised him while he played with it.

My son has a lovey, and it just happens to be his Froggy Munchkin Teether Baby. I got it as a gift when I was in the hospital having him over two years ago. This Teether Baby is one of the original versions that Munchkin released, and they have since released a brand new set of Teether Babies which you can put in the refrigerator. Little does my son know that I lost the original “Froggy” and had to go scavenging on eBay for another one since the older model frog was no longer being made. He also doesn’t know that I bought two so that we still have one in the box in case this “Froggy” goes missing as well.

The Munchkin Teether Babies are just too cute! The beanbag body is so soft and colorful and their hands and feet double as soft teething surfaces with different textures. They are machine washable and dryer safe.

There are several on-line stores that carry the original Munchkin Teether Babies and you can also find them occasionally on eBay. The new generation of Teether Babies are currently available for purchase on Amazon.
