It's literally a crayon that works in the tub. They are very inexpensive and they make bath time more fun and you can use the extra one on one time to teach a little too. You can write/color on the tub itself or the walls/tile in the bathroom. It's easy to clean and won't ruin your tiles or tub. They come in a pack of 9 or 10 and they are bigger than regular crayons making it easier for littler hands to hold as well. Only thing I could say might be an issue is you're kind of teaching them that it's OK and "fun" to color on the walls. Honestly though that hasn't even been an issue and i don't see it turning into one. We usually have color time or arts and crafts at the table together so it's rare that he would ever have free time with crayons to do that. Until he's older and understands how to use them responsibly we don't allow them to have access to the crayons/markers/pens/pencils -
Potty watch

We found a watch that's a potty watch. It's a kids watch that they can wear and you set the timer on it. The intervals are 30mins, 60mins, or 90mins. When it's time the watch has a few little led lights that flash and it plays a song. This is supposed to help them remember to go to the potty. So we hadn't even started the training when we started using the watch. At first he didn't to much care for the idea of the potty and it took a few times if the watch going off for him to realize what it meant. So now it goes off let's say every 30 mins. When it does he goes to the bathroom and gets on the toilet but obviously he doesn't have to go potty every 30mins so he was getting frustrated and had a few accidents in between. The timer automatically resets for another 30,60,or 90mins depending on how you have it set so you don't have to keep resetting it yourself every time it does off. To me having potty trained 2 other children without the help of gizmos and gadgets it seems this way is a little harder but might work for some or maybe he's just not ready ready for training yet. We will keep trying and see what works in the end but I thing the potty watch was a cute idea that could be very helpful. -

We bought this to fill with water at first and it was great for our youngest to splash around in and play little fishing games in but we found it extremely useful for sand! We hide little animals or colored shapes and numbers in there and he loves to dig and dig into he finds them all. It's great to see him go through the sand until he's found every last item in there and then he wants to say the names of everything he finds. So it's helped with motor skills, problem solving and speech. All of that learning from a table we bought more for fun time and it's been a great way to teach as well. -
Kinetic Sand
We love this. It's so much fun to play with, comes in lots of colors and various varieties. We bought it at first to help our toddler who had sensory issues. He's very easily stressed out in certain situations and this really seems to calm him down... +
We love this. It's so much fun to play with, comes in lots of colors and various varieties. We bought it at first to help our toddler who had sensory issues. He's very easily stressed out in certain situations and this really seems to calm him down. Kind of like a fidget spinner for kids and adults. We love making "fake ice cream cones" with this and hiding things in the sand for him to find. It also works in a bowl or sand box anything that can hold the sand and it gives them a chance to dig through it with their hands or a little play shovel and find the hidden treasures plus its fun for the older kids and adults to play with or build with. -

This has been extremely helpful with our toddler. He was extremely difficult in "public" situations for so long. When we go to the store now he goes straight to the playdoh grabs a cup or two or 5 however many he can carry and then the rest of store visit he's content to hold his playdoh. In the car he would scream and scream, but not anymore. He has sensory issues and possibly autism. He's not speaking yet but he has started saying the colors of the playdoh with us now and he lives to watch all the educational playdoh videos on youtube. Third keeps his hands busy,his mind occupied and it gives him sort of a "stress relief" just playing with it! -
