For me, most of the time this means keeping them occupied at the table while I do school with the older kids. Here are some great table top toys to keep your preschooler occupied for at least 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>These are all toys that we have used in our home and are loved by my little ones.<\/p>\n<p>1. <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lauritoys.com\/products\/view.php?part=2441\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Big &#8211; Little Pegs by Lauri Toys<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/files\/2008\/04\/lr-2441.jpg\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2.<a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lauritoys.com\/products\/view.php?part=2450\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Tall Stacker Building Set by Lauri Toys<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/files\/2008\/04\/lr-2450.jpg\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lauritoys.com\/products\/view.php?part=2407\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sorting Set by Lauri Toys<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/files\/2008\/04\/lr-2407.jpg\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>4. <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.discountschoolsupply.com\/Product\/ProductDetail.aspx?product=16247&amp;es=7691210000W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Counting Bears<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/files\/2008\/04\/16247.jpg\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>5.
