Where can I get educational toys that aren't too pricey for a 2 1/2 year old girl?

My friend has a little girl that I watch and I would love to get her a fun but educational gift for Christmas. I don’t have a lot of money but up to I could do.

For those Mommy’s and Daddy’s on here… do you have any recommendations?

Thanks very much! =)

What do you think of the iON ieD05 electronic drum kit (USB)?

I’m learning the drums and would like to hear of anyone’s experience with the iON ieD05 (or similar) electronic drum kit. They are the cheapest option for neighbour friendly practise, however I have read good and bad reviews. I’m wondering if I should spend a little more and go for something like the Traps or Legend kits….but of course if I don’t keep up the practise then it’s money wasted. Any thoughts on the iON would be much appreciated. Thanks

What are your favorite educational toys for 14 month old toddlers?

I have 14 month old identical twin girls who love to learn and seem to be little sponges right now! We have a ton of fun, bright, and educational toys but I would like some specific suggestions from experienced parents. It is hard for us to physically visit stores (going anywhere with twins is hard!), so I do most of my ordering online. Some online sights provide customer ratings and feedback, but most do not. I would like to order some new and fun toys and activities, but don’t want to waste money on items that won’t be beneficial or are poorly made. Thanks, in advance, for your help and feedback!
