Cyber Monday Gift Guide : Babies and Toddlers
Foldable Teepee Tent: Buy this now and you will get years of use out of it! Alex still has his in his room, and occasionally we have living room “campouts” and “picnics” with it. He’s always loved the coziness of it for reading, napping, and playing hide-and-seek. Plus, it’s adorable and will blend in with almost any decor!
Wooden Stacking Rocks: Gorgeous wood rocks that will keep kids engaged while promoting fine motor, visual-spatial, and logical thinking skills. They can be played with solo, or you can make a game out of stacking them together!
Doodle Board: Highly recommend, especially if you are doing any holiday travel! These are great for airplanes, cars, restaurants, and visiting other people’s houses, and will be used for years to come. Perfect for early doodlers, practicing letters and numbers, and creating artistic masterpieces!
Folding Pikler Triangle Set: Oh, how I wish I had known about these sets when Alex was young! Ideal as an indoor playground for your adventurous little ones. Plus it folds up! Gift-giving perfection. (They also sell medium and large sizes for bigger kids - both on sale, too!)
Boon Pipe and Cog Tub Toys: If you have a bath-loving little one in your life, these are a must-have. These have stood the test of time for us - five years later, Alex still asks to play with them occasionally!
Play Sink: Another great buy for a water-loving kiddo! I used to plop this on the kitchen floor (on top of a towel) while making dinner, and it never failed to keep Alex occupied the whole time.
Stackable Sun: For the sunshine in your life! This easy-to-clean BPA-free silicone sun helps with cognitive development as well as fine motor skills.
Soft Foam Ball Pit + Balls: Another great item to buy early, as it will be enjoyed for years to come. As your kiddo grows, you can add an indoor slide and stepping stones (both also on sale!) to create an indoor obstacle course. If you don’t have room to keep a ball pit out, you might consider a collapsible one. If you go that route you’ll also need balls - I’d recommend a minimum of 200 for plenty of cushiony fun!
Balance Bike: This is just the cutest! Recommended for ages 12-24 months, it helps develop balance and coordination for young riders to develop confidence early.
36-Pack of Play-Doh: This is a killer deal on a perennial favorite! I refresh Alex’s stash yearly at Christmastime, and generally a 36-pack will last us that long. Also great to divide up for multiple gifts or stockings!
