INDIANAPOLIS — Still looking for that perfect gift for your child?

Here's the list:
- 1. ABCs AND Activities Wooden Table (Leapfrog)

As little ones turn into toddlers, flip the Activity Center over to the Letter Center side to find touch-sensitive pictures that encourage kids to discover letters, words, and phonics. Switch modes and touch the pictures to listen to phrases about animals, counting and colors or tap on the drum to hear color names and numbers. Add nature sounds to the melodies or use the piano keys to make your own music using piano, flute, and violin sounds in music mode.
