My oldest son's first electronic toy was a VTech "boombox". He is now 28 and I just dug that toy out of a storage box and gave it to his daughter, my 1 year old granddaughter, to play with. It still works! I couldn't keep her away from my IPhone and laptop, so I found something 'gadgety' for her to haul around the house. By the way, she also loves her blocks, stuffed toys, rattles, and any old cardboard box that may be handy! :)
