Bigger Ideas, But Worth The Spend
If you are looking for a great standing and walking skill development tool, look no further. We got this for our son when he was 6mo the old and had started to pull up to stand on everything. The little yellow "brakes" make sure he isn't moving if we...
Little Balance Box 2-in-1 Push Pull Walker
Once baby is crawling, they'll soon enjoy crawling up and down things! The "stair" piece has a shallow step so it's the perfect height for a new human to learn to crawl up and down. Obviously I recommend being there with your babe, but now at 9 month...
TODIBY 4-Pc Soft Play Climbing Toys for Kids
Friendlier on the wallet
Pop this onto any flat surface for easy kiddo entertainment. We use it on the Little Balance Table, highchair, floor, etc, but the biggest hack is taking it to restaurants to give our little guy something to play with!
Sassy Wonder Wheel High Chair Toy, 6+ Months
One of the most beloved books in our household. It's a bit different from other touch and feel books we have because the textured parts are silicone instead of the more common "soft" textures. Our son loves the tactile feeling of the book!
Never Touch a Dinosaur!
Our little one will chase balls ALL over our house! He is starting to roll them back to us, almost like a precursor to catch!
Botabee Set of 5 Multi-Colored Replacement Balls
This book is especially great to help the little one work on their grasping. It's fun to watch them understand the different directions to open the flaps!
Disney Baby: Peekaboo Winnie the Pooh
This rattle has been with us from month 1, and it keeps on giving! It's a go-to for car rides, and great for developing fine motor skills as they are working on grasp!
Bright Starts Oball Shaker Rattle Toy
These pull-back cars are great to help develop the understanding of "cause and effect"!
Baby Mini Pull-Back Car Toys for Toddlers
Another one that's has stayed a favorite from our little one's early days. Has a rain-stick like sound but can be used as a rattle, and the internal spinning mechanisms keep him mesmerized.
Hape Beaded Raindrops Mini Musical Rattle
I think this is listed as 3-6 years but that's all made up, right? Our kiddo got this right around 5 months and played with it all summer long, inside and outside. Particularly loves the rake and shovel.
KADAYAYA Beach Toys Set for Kids - 3 Pack
Mid-range Pricing
This interactive table has been in daily use since about 5 months on. The nice part is that you can remove the legs to make it floor compatible for kneeling play when they are more wobbly than sturdy on their feet. At 9 months, he still loves to make...
VTech Magic Star Learning Table, Yellow
This lightbox and accessories have given our kiddo hours of play. It is particularly great for play while kneeling, building up core strength. We filtered out some of the smaller pieces (e.g. bugs) for future use. I expect we will be using this for y...
Battat Education Tracing Light Box - 79 Pcs
If you want loads of giggles and hours of playtime, this thing is incredible. Our son loves to play peek-a-boo, scramble through the tunnel, and even just sit in it with other toys. It's a great toy to encourage crawling!
Melissa & Doug Giddy Buggy Crawl-Through Tunnel
Commonly called an "object permanence" toy, this fun Montessori style toy has brought lots of joy to our guy. It's also a big part of how he learned to clap - every time I would put a ball in the hole I would say "in" and then it would roll out and I...
Adena Montessori Wooden Sorting Toy for Babies
We were gifted the Quited Critter sorter from the Lovevery Realist playset and it's a huge hit for our kiddo. One that I imagine will grow with him too. I often see him crawling or cruising the furniture with one of these little stuffed animals in hi...
