When buying toys for your children do you look for educational ones or ones that are just fun to play with? I try to find a combination of both. It'd help if the educational ones didn't cost so much.

INTERACTIVE TV -  MY OPINION IS THE BEST EDUCATIONAL TOY!:)
I buy both as well..theer are certain toys he asks for and illl get..but i also bought him Interactive Tv..which is great!!!! I highly recomend it for kids!! And the junior Leap Frog...that has help him read soo welll!! He has been reading since he was 3..But it is sad that they make the educational toys sooo expensive...but they know parents will pay..have a good one!

yeah I know, trying to find good deals on a little leaps baby tv thing for my daughter. She's 15 months. My son has a computer so we'll be getting him some educational software. Don't know what yet since he can already read and is great in math. He's in the advanced class at school and they taught him chess last year. Makes me feel stupid that my 7 yo can play chess and I have no clue..lol
