Good learning toys/tips?

Anyone know of any good toys or something that are good for teaching a 2 year old to recognize letters? He already knows his alphabet but he doesn't recognize all the letters. He knows a couple but I'm having trouble teaching him which are which. Same with numbers, he can count to 30 pretty well but he doesn't know what they look like. He does go to daycare while I'm at work and they do teach him a little bit but I am wanting to teach him a little more myself but not sure where to start. Any tips would help! thanks!

Hey,

Yes, there are quite a few things.  Magazines or books about anything.  Point the letters out to him :).

Go around the house and find items that start with each letter.

And a game that my son loves.......Super Stretchy Dr. Suess ABC's :P

 There is a puzzle by Melissa and Doug. It says the letters. My son loves that puzzle now he will play with any kind.
