My son at her age liked anything electronic that made music or spoke or had flashing lights. His absolute favorite was called "light spinner" a long joystick that had 3 spinning fiber optic arms that lit up. It also vibrated in his hand. I got it at Wal-mart at the time. They now have along the same lines a fibre optic fan thats similar - but not as great. Magna doodle, Crayola has a new product "crayola color explosion glow board" V-tech computer, bubbles, elefun, hungry hippos, play doh

My son loves this I spy bag I found. Etsy.com has them all you have to do is a seach. He could spend hours with his leapster handheld thing(if I let him). But thats only because he has a game thats based around dogs. Which is one of his favorite things. They have "learning" games with other popular characters. Some of them read stories. Some of them teach how to write.

The leapfrog electronic book thing. You put in different stories and follow along. My guys love that toy!!!!

At Kmart they have these learn through music sing along interactive learning system.You get one cartlidge with it and you can buy different ones.They have like dorah the explorer and elmo.They dont have them at the local walmart where I live now, but Kmart.my son loves watching the screen move.My son likes those little view finders too.Im looking for a play keyboard my son likes those, but round here they are expensive.Good luck finding cool toys.They do have toys just for children with autism.I saw these neat writing blockes where you trace into wood with the pencil.I cannot remember what website theyre on but theres some cool stuff out there.Keep looking!

If you go to Toys R Us, they have a catalog of toys that are designed for special needs children.

This is the perfect age for "role play" When my son was in EIC, OR PPCD, they had a station set up with various costumes, fireman, nurse, doctor, Vet, chef, police, etc. This really helped him understand the functions of public service personnel, what each did, who to help with what emergency, etc. He always drug his clothes out, so I decided to buy these role plating outfits! And right now there on sale!!!!!! After Halloween is the best time to stock up! Also you can get the VTECH system, they make one for babies, it works on colors, sounds, shapes, etc. Alex never liked toys that made noise, still dosen't, except that damn gameboy! and his noise of course! And to work on hand-to-eye coordination, you can buy sets of string with beads of all colors, Walmart also has shapes that have pre-cut holes and it comes with strings of all colors! Alex has fine motor skill delay , so we are still addressing this issue. Oh, he loved the MEGA BLOCKS! Colorful and good for H/E/C too! OMG! Just thought of the perfect thing!!!!! I bought the "Island Princess Mini-laptop" for my 3 yr old niece! It was simple to use, I say this because my 6 year old niece was with me when I bought it, she has deslexia, yet was able to learn from it! I will be buying her one as well!
