Lovevery Toys I cannot say enough good things about Lovevery. You can purchase a play kit that is catered to your child’s age that are not only fun, but helps your child’s development. The kits also include a guide with ways to play suggestions and tips/tricks from experts. The toys range from ages 0-4 years.

Textured Squishy Balls The texture on these rubber balls is so fun for your child to explore. They’re soft to play with and throw and the best baby gift ideas.

Spinning Toy Bundle This little spinner toy is one of my all time favorites. This bundle also comes with quality pop its as well.

Large Spin Again Stacking Toy My girls all love this spinner regardless of their age differences! The base also comes off so you can spin the disks down and flip it to spin the opposite direction.

Suction Cup Spinners Another Fat Brain toy favorite. We use these spinners in the bath tub, shower, on our baby’s high chair, car and airplane windows, etc.

Tent Boat Tumble Mat One of my girls new favorites! We absolutely love this tumble mat that can easily transition to a tent with a door and a boat! My 11 month old up to my 9 year old are all enjoying this one.

Floor Mirror A mirror is a great tool for your infant or toddler to discover their sense of self. I love this mirror that can be laid down safely for your child horizontally, but can also stand vertically as your child grows.

Rubber Soft Car Everything is squishy on this little car from the wheels to the body. Because of it’s manipulative texture, it’s easy for your little ones small hands and the best baby gift idea.

Quiet Activity Book I absolutely love these activity books for church, restaurants and road trips!

What Should I Wear Quiet Book + Doll I had this particular quiet book when my now 9 year old was a baby and it still remains one of my favorites. I love the little plush doll that can go into the different outfits on each page.

Spark Create Imagine Bumpy Ball I remember my grandma having a similar jiggle ball and I always loved it as a kid! I don’t know if it’s the nostalgia of this ball, or watching my baby’s cheeks vibrate as she puts it in her mouth that makes me love it so much ha.

Pop up Tunnel + Balls Another one that your child will love for years to come! I also love that it’s easy to store since it can be folded flat. Another best baby gift idea!

Baby Balance Bike We love balance bikes and this is the perfect first balance bike and comes in a lot of different color options.

Wooden Pound Bench + Hammer We have had this little wooden hammer and bench since my oldest was a baby and it’s another one that is still a favorite. As your baby uses the hammer to put down the pegs, the pegs pop back up on the opposite side for the perfect cause and effect toy.

Silicone Bath Book How fun is this?! You don’t need to worry about ripping or mildew build up.

Soft Visual Quiet Book (shapes and colors) This is a great quiet book to enhance shape and color recognition for only $13.

Plush Rockers I love these adorable plush rockers and there are various animals to choose from to help enhance those large motor skills.

Soft Baby Doll The perfect soft baby doll as your child begins the magic of dramatic play. A baby gift idea they will love!

Adventure Buddy Plush This character is a lot of fun. You can buy the different “adventure jackets” to add onto your plushy as well.

Stacking Drip Drop Cups These cups made a couple of lists because they are my personal favorite! All of my girls use these cups regularly in the bathtub and sensory play. The different cups have different amount of holes for various flows. You can stack them high, but they are also super easy to store as they are also nesting cups and fit well inside each other.

Baby Marble Run I always love marble runs, and this is the perfect first marble run. Your little one will want to watch the balls go down the ramp over and over again.

Soft Stump Floor Cushions These soft stumps are perfect resource for large motor play. They are great stepping stones as well as cushions to sit on.

Baby Fidget Toy A perfect little fidget toy for your baby as they explore.

Wooden Car Ramp Another personal favorite! I could even play with this over and over again! A fun baby gift idea for grandparents to gift!

Best Baby Play Gym with Removable Cover Seriously the BEST baby play gym. I love that this play gym has different developmental zones with tabs, sounds and mirrors. I. also love that it has a removable cover to transform the space into a fun little fort.
