Monkey & Mouse Baby Swing Seat

So cute and comfortable with a pretty design!

Baby Animals Crinkle Book

It’s so cute but also hits a home run in the sensory department.

A great idea for a little bit of engineering fun in the bathtub. Toddlers can mix up the tracks and create all kinds of routes to watch the water flow through all of the mechanisms. Regan still loves hers on into preschool years!

What is it about babies and tissue boxes? At least with this one, pulling out all of the tissues is encouraged.

This cute wooden toy promotes development in fine motor skills, visual and spatial perception, balance, creative play, and trunk and gross motor protective responses.

I love this soft block that has multi-sensory functions and a mirror for baby tummy time to help gross motor skill development.

Alphabet Peg Puzzle

This is the perfect baby’s first puzzle with big pieces easy for little hands to grasp while learning letters.

120 beautifully designed pages to document baby’s first year through age 5 with easy-to-fill-out prompts that won’t overwhelm you.

Gund Flappy The Elephant

This was our youngest’s absolute favorite toy! The little flapping ears that play peek-a-boo and wiggle to songs is adorable.

Classic Building Blocks Set

The classic set for strengthening builder brains!

Waffle Muslin Swaddle Blanket

These blankets are boutique quality and absolutely beautiful. Without a doubt, it would be something treasured forever and ever.

Love this super soft knit pajama. This little checkerboard print? Oh my heart, the sweetness!
