What kind of toys do you find educational and fun for your preschooler?

I bought busy books from Taobao "My quiet book" and "Lullaby and goodnight" which are very interactive books for the child to play and weave their own stories. I also got her to play the old school fishing game which allows us to play with her and at the same time train her concentration, patience and perseverance. It also bonds us together too. Little tikes Stage 1 Kitchen which she has been playing from 12 months and now almost 3 keeps her occupied too.
