Top picks for babies + toddlers
- Learning Flash Cards – This educational tool helps kids build essential skills like letters, numbers, shapes, and colors through interactive play. Simply pop in a card (520 to chose from!) and it will read of the item, and make the applicable noise or sound. Designed with bright colors and clear illustrations, these cards make learning fun for kiddos as young as 6 months!
- Foam Ball Pit + Balls – Ball pits might seem like a disaster waiting to happen, BUT love how the smaller size of this foam ball pit doesn't feel too obnoxious! This is such a good sensory activity and these sports balls are the perfect size for little hands. These balls are also soft and the perfect beginner balls for learning how to pick up and throw balls. You have to think about those things when buying gifts for 1 year olds, right?!
- Baby Einstein Crib Soother – We've seen this crib soother go viral on the internet this year!! One of our team members was gifted this when she had her baby this last year and said her baby LOVED it. She said he loved it as a newborn (so helpful with tummy time!) but it was the MOST helpful to install in the car when her little guy started hating car rides. Mom hack! You can install the hook around the head rest and keep the remote at the front with you.
- Step 2 Push Car – We are convinced every 1-3 year old would LOVE this. With a sturdy handle for parents to push and an easy-to-grip steering wheel for kids, it takes your daily walks to a whole new level of fun!
- KidKraft Play Kitchen – This play kitchen is precious and at such a great price, your little will have so much fun cooking things up! We love that it even includes a faux ice maker and phone, this is for sure one of those gifts that will get so much use. Corrine's kiddos have completely LOVED this kitchen!
