1. Anything in the v-tech or leapfrog line that is for that age group.
2. there are some movies you can buy. even doing a project with her for 30 minutes a day. like learning the alphabet and learning colors and counting. it's never to early to teach that stuff. maybe getting index cards and righting a letter on them and teaching them to her or as shes coloring ask her what color shes using. simple things like that which are low costing and they fit into everyday life.
3.

4. toddler laptops, leapfrog alphebet-cal (caterpiller for alphabet learning), leapfrog telephone/book (teaches alphabets and words), and the V-Tech is absolutely the best for 18 months and up!! my daughter has one and it helped reiterate everthing we were teaching her (letters, numbers, colors, shapes, etc) and some new stuff like baby sign language, songs, opposites, feelings, and matching. i love it. i'd recommend it to everyone! my daughter is three and at two she didn't know the alphabet song, but she could name every letter of the alphabet when you showed them to her, she could name every number she saw, and almost all her shapes... now she knows all that plus she COUNTS, tries to read words, and plays games on the computer (on noggin.com). ofcourse i'm her mother, so i think she's a genius!... hbb
