My kids love books, so I compiled a list of their favorites from birth to age 3. From sentimental, to educational, to ones that just make the kids and I laugh out loud, these books are sure to be a hit! They're all off Amazon, so it's easy to purchase multiple if you find a few you like!

The Yoto is HANDS DOWN my favorite toddler toy. My absolute #1 recommendation; i LOVE it. It's screen-free so it's not stimulating, the cards are easy to store and travel with, it's perfect for on-the-go or at home. We use it every single night at bedtime, we use it in the car, during quiet time, while she colours, everything. It's used multiple times a day, i truly cannot recommend this enough. PLUS it's something that older kids use too, the content library becomes educational so it can be used for several years to come. There's an app so you can control what they're listening to from your phone. I could go on and on and on. Obsessed. Recommend 1000/10. This list includes the yoto and accessories, and some of my most recommended cards for kids aged 0-5.
