Any go to toys to help learn all of the above. My little man is 2 1/2 and knows a few of each im just wondering if there is something that would catch his attention a little more then what we do now. Any faves out there?

Re: "toys" for Colors, alphabet and numbers
We have M&D alphabet and counting puzzles that he loves.
We practice colors with regular toys (blocks, Dulos, stacking rings, etc), crayons, and everyday objects.
We have foam bath letters and magnetic letters that are also bright colors. DS also loves sorting things by color - craft pompoms, pipe cleaners, sorting toys.
DS has one like this that's trains/cars/boats (I had it in my classroom...) https://www.christianbook.com/baby-bear-sorting/pd/7350739?en=google-pla&kw=homeschool-0-20&p=1167941&gclid=CMufuvaco7cCFQ9yQgodhDgACA

Go to a teacher supply store and browse!!
I bought a bunch of sand molds that E likes to play with, and we haven't even put up his sand table, yet.

We have the letters and the numbers.
We also have a ton of books.
Um, yeah, this too. Since someone else admitted it, I will too.

We received this letter set as a gift and it's been a huge hit at our house. It has multiple learning opportunities (stringing), colors, alphabet, spelling, etc.

I also like the Leap Frog Letter Factory for the alphabet because I don't always have to be right next to DS to make sure he is saying the right letter.
Learning smart has some awesome toys, our library always rotates through various ones (counting cookie Jar, shape sorting turtles, etc) and DS always wants them for home too - so I usually tract them down online.
We really had the best results with books. Although once he learned his letters and numbers, the Melissa & Doug puzzles became his favorite toys.
We stock up on a theme (letters, colors, shapes) via the public library so it isn't expensive.
Very cute...Thanks!!
good one too!!!
We aren't huge on TV, but I cannot recommend the Leap Frog Letter Factory enough. Not going to lie, it has taught me things...who remembers that an L says 'ullll'?
Also I second the foam bath letters, I realized that she was learning certain letters really early by what was in the tub. And otherwise, books and talking/pointing out. They will learn. I will say that it seems that boys pick up colors later than girls, just something to keep in mind.
This.
A coworker recommended this video when DD was 23 months. By 24 months she confidently knew every single letter. It was the first movie she was ever willing to sit and watch.
