At the beginning of 2026, Salem had a pretty serious health scare that landed her in the PICU for a week. Afterwards, she was terrified of anything doctor related. We got her this play kit, and it has really helped to make her comfortable again. She ...
Melissa & Doug Get Well Doctor Kit, 25-Piece
Â
For the longest time, I said I wasn’t going to buy one of these because of the potential of it being a HUGE mess maker. However, after seeing how much she enjoy playing in our kitchen sink, I bit the bullet and I’m SO glad I did. She will spend 30+ m...
Battat Splash & Sparkle Sink Plastic Real Faucet and Magic Dishes

We are honestly fans of all things Little People, but if I had to pick one playset that she seems to gravitate to most frequently, it would be this one. It is much larger than the “typical” bus, and has a handle that can be folded out to turn it into...
Fisher-Price Little People Big Yellow School Bus

We previously had a different guitar toy, but I found this one while thrifting, and we honestly love it so much more! It is super responsive to touch, and has so many fun sounds and tunes!

I don’t know what it is about this toy, but I have not met a single kid that didn’t LOVE it…and Salem is no exception.
Melissa & Doug Wooden Scoop & Serve Ice Cream

We LOVE this wooden rainbow stacker! It is amazing for so many types of open-ended play, not to mention it’s gorgeous as decor when not in use. Also, this version is SO much cheaper that some others out there, but the quality is still amazing!
Wooden Rainbow Stacker

Salem received this as a Christmas gift and since then it has been, by far, her most used outdoor toy/activity!
Little Tikes® First Slide

I was originally very skeptical about getting these because how much play can a kid really get from some circles on the ground? Turns out, A TON! These have been used in SO many different scenarios and have “been” so many different things!

We got her a Tonie box for her first birthday, and it quickly became a favorite! We use it both for playtime and as a part of her bedtime routine, and have even added a second box in the last few months (one for each floor of our home).

We have several different shape sorters, but this one she reaches for most often. We’ve never taken it out of the house, but it would be perfect for traveling as well since everything is contained in a soft zippered bag-like container. I also love th...
Melissa & Doug K's Kids Take-Along Shape Sorter

Even though she’s had this toy since she was around 6 months old, she really didn’t start actually PLAYING with it until around 18 months. I love that there are so many ways that it can be used, and she keeps finding new ones!
