My 14-month-old is a chewer, unfortunately, so most of your excellent suggestions won't work for him. He got his first teeth at four months (fun for us all) and he's working on another molar at the moment. At some glorious point, he will stop putting everything in his mouth and chewing on it, and then the world will open up to him.

We have a lot of toys he can chew if the mood hits him, and Superblocks seem to be a hit in their many many manifestations.

Heh, I didn't even see that in my edit pass, Rob. I hit the O key rather than the P. It is a rather funny slip. PS2, is of course what I intended. :-)

Fortunately, Kiera isn't enough of a chewer to knaw her way thorough an insulated cable. :-)

I absolutely agree... kids do love all those stuff.
About my kid, I do keep an old keyboard next to the real one, so he can mess about with it, he loves telephones and remotes as you say, and I did blog about what happens when he tries to operate the "real" thing:

of course since then he's grown up, and you can see him settin' up his first machine:

did you hear about the Comfy keyboard for toddlers?

My son loves it

Yup, I've heard of the Comfy keyboard. Frankly though, I'm afraid to get her anything that's not truly functional, in the adult sense.

For a few of the real toys that Kiera likes, see, http://blogs.msdn.com/korbyp/archive/2005/10/21/483587.aspx.

I've had the comfy keyboard, and though it is quite nice I am not sure they've even updated to run on an NT kernel... A couple of years ago, already in the times of XP I used to keep one computer with Win98 *JUST* to run the ComfyKeyboard stuff.... which was made for DOS and was talking directly to the serial port....

Has anything changed since then ?
Anyway, I've donated the Comfy Keyboard to some friends and left it behind in the last relocation.... :-(

As a first time parent of the most incredible creature to ever walk this Earth--my fourteen month old daughter, Kiera --I am perpetually amazed by the simplicity and inexpensiveness of the objects and experiences that capture and hold her interest. Lik
