While some don't fit your criteria, I'm a fan of many of the items from Fat Brain Toys. My daughter has the following from there:

  • Tobbles Neo - She loves this thing!

  • pipSquigz

    Her other basic, non-musical, not-very-themepark-ish toys are (and some you mention you have, but still...):

  • Oball - These are extremely easy for babies of all ages to hold. Everything from Oball is fantastic.

  • Wood Hammer Set

  • Classic stacking rings

  • Classic stacking cups

  • A crap ton of wood puzzles

  • Classic wood shape-sorter

  • Counting Caterpillar

    But, honestly, my daughter grows out of things pretty quickly. She has fallen in and out of love with her toys repeatedly. She also loves music, so as much as I wish she would just like the silent, simple toys... she thrives most and has the most fun with things that are loud and musical. I hate everything Vtech, but she could dance for days if given the opportunity... so as a parent, sometimes I suck it up and realize that despite whatever toys I wish or think she should have, she finds other things more enjoyable (especially as she became a toddler had had true opinions on things).

My kid was a big fan of this shape sorter, his toy scooter, Duplo train, and an assortment of balls and tupperware. It's not quiet, but this vtech walker was also a hit.

You should buy one of these for the store: https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Shape-Sorting-Cube/dp/B00005RF5G

Then you can set up an aptitude test for being allowed to plug things into the computer.

My son's favorite is blocks. Ones he can stack, ones he can sort.

I don't have any studies, only anecdotal evidence.

I ate/am eating between 75-100 carbs a day during both my pregnancies - the bulk of those carbs was fruit, vegetables, whole milk, and (only very occasionally) a burger and fries on cheat days. I stuck to primarily "real food" since I didn't want to do anything too drastic and risk harming the baby. My firstborn was born 9lbs, 3oz, and was lifting his head up for short periods ON the day of his birth. He was healthy, strong, and big and has continued to be so (he's been sick maybe twice in nearly two years) ever since. Granted, we exclusively breastfed for a long, long time and he still nurses when he asks, but I think a lot of his health can be attributed to how I ate while pregnant. My only regret is that I didn't get enough sunlight and was somewhat lackadaisical about taking my vitamin d pills. He was born a little jaundiced and we had a fight on our hands at the hospital to keep him off formula. He never went under the lights, we fixed the jaundice strictly through breastmilk.

Something you WILL have to be careful of though, is if your kiddo is born as big as mine was, they WILL try to take him away and give him a sugar water bottle to test for diabetes. They did this without telling me or asking my permission first and then forbade me from breastfeeding until the test results were in. I was stupid and listened to them - if I'd done any research beforehand that wouldn't have happened.

As for now... he's 21 months. He's still hale and hearty and only gets bread every now and then. He knows his alphabet (both upper and lower case), can count to 20 (working towards 30), can read some sight words, can solve this cube on his own, already knows his colors and shapes, and is generally one of the most healthy and happy kids you can imagine. He has temper tantrums on occasion but is easily diverted from them. We do that 'evolutionary parenting/attachment parenting' thing - we cosleep when the sun goes down, feed him the same food we eat (except I make a point that he gets a glass of whole milk with every meal and he gets the bulk of the grass-fed fat for his brain development), and we baby-wear most of the time when we're out. Essentially we listen to the doctors but follow our hearts and heads and do our own research. It's been okay so far.

TLDR: We did almost every "whackjob" parenting thing out there, including eating VERY primally while pregnant and our kid turned out much better than expected. For us, it worked out. Do your own research. You'll figure out what's best for you.

EDIT: I'd like to add that we DID give him formula on occasion. We also use a little umbrella stroller every now and then, and let him have sugar and bread and treats on occasion. The only thing I'm FIRM about is making sure he gets plenty of grass-fed/hormone-free fat for his brain development. He loves it and will eat it straight. It grosses the husband out but :-P on him. Steak with fat striations is delicious.

It was more similar to this one, but plastic. Thanks for the link, though. There may very well be better alternatives. =]

Early intervention therapist! No kids. But here's some toys I use regularly: geometric sorter, shape sorter, magnetic tiles, marble run, and bristle blocks.

My two biggest recommendations for books are: Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb for learning patterns and rhyme; Go, Dog, Go for learning adjectives and directional terms.
