Must-Have Newborn Toys!
15
items These are the toys that we have loved having for our newborn. We have watched him go through many gifts and toys and these make the cut!
We still have these and recommend them to all of our friends having kids. Our toddler loves to still pick up an...
This is hands-down the absolutely best purchase we have ever made for our baby. When I say he loves this thing, I mean he LOVES it. He has had this since he was probably around 2 months old and went though laying on his back, tummy time, and starting...
MUST-HAVE: Fisher-Price Baby Kick & Play Piano Gym
Every baby hates tummy time for the most part, so having a fun toy to help them along is great! We love this llama one which gives good support and comes with little toys and a mirror (our baby's favorite)!
Fisher-Price Tummy Time Llama
My kid loves this toy and has had it since he was a baby. He has learned to hum a lot of the songs to himself and loves to play it over and over again. It plays a lot of classical music. I love that this is a simple musical toy!
Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Musical Toy
At some point all babies put absolutely everything in their mouths. This is a nice soft book to flip through and learn colors, animals, and it functions as a teether!
Baby Einstein Curious Explorers Teether Book
I didn't personally use this one since I had the Fisher-Price play gym, but this looks like another wonderful play-gym option for a newborn or infant! I love the Baby Einstein products and my kid has really enjoyed anything we have purchased from the...
Baby Einstein 4-in-1 Kickin' Tunes Play Gym
I cannot recommend these cards enough. They are very fun and developmentally focused for different milestones! My husband and I loved doing these easy activities with our kid was an infant and we learned a lot too!
Curious Baby™ 40+ Activities for Baby & Me
Teething is so hard. My baby really loved these “key” teethers and most importantly for me they are easy to wash with each use, and small so it doesn't take up much room at all in the freezer. When my kid is teething and he sees me walking towards hi...
Nuby Keys Ice Gel Teether
This toy is a winner! It is an adorable soft elephant that sings and plays peek-a-boo. My baby is now a toddler and he still pulls this elephant out to sit and play and giggle with it. So cute! I can't recommend this one enough. It makes for a really...
Baby Gund Animated Flappy The Elephant Plush
This toy has saved our butts a few times with distracting our kid on the high chair. Sometimes (or a lot of times) he would rather play than eat, and there isn't a way to really reason with a baby, so this solves that problem by suction-cupping to th...
Sassy Wonder Wheel Spinning High Chair Tray Toy
A high contrast book like this is great for a baby! They really enjoy seeing different shapes and patterns, and once their color perception kicks in it's a whole new world! We enjoyed having several books just like these ones and “reading” to him as ...
High Contrast Black & White Baby Book - Sensory Toy
This is another great addition to your baby book and toy collection with learning to count with the Very Hungry Caterpillar! It's a soft book with lots of vibrant colors and graphics. During the newborn/infant stage they will love staring at it, and ...
Let's Count Soft Book -The Very Hungry Caterpillar
This is a really fun mirror toy that looks like a phone. The baby can stare at themselves with fun animations and music that pops up on the screen. My toddler is older now and still plays with this!
Skip Hop Baby Phone Toy, Explore & More Selfie
This toy set is essential for any baby. They love to learn how to stack and differentiate shapes and colors! My baby used to just throw them around and it's been amazing watching him learn how to stack the rings in the correct order and how to get th...
Fisher-Price Baby’s First Blocks and Ring Stacker
This Baby DJ set with produce and a bunny is hilarious and a great gift for kids! My baby loved pushing all these buttons and seeing the effects or listening to the music! I highly recommend this and would buy it again.
Skip Hop Baby Musical DJ Set Toy
This is a really great sit-to-stand toy with so many different buttons and activities for baby! Mine really loved this one and played with it all the time when he was an infant.
