Baby & Toddler Favorites: Infantino & Learning Resources
14
items 15 therapist-approved baby and toddler toys — sensory play, teethers, bath toys, building sets and early learning favorites.
As a developmental therapist, I love a good straw cup — straw drinking builds such important oral motor skills! This one was a favorite for that tricky transition from bottles. 🍼
Infantino My 1st Tumbler Straw Cup 9oz
The ultimate rainy-day energy burner! Ball pits are amazing for sensory play and motor skills — plus cleanup is way easier than you'd think. A birthday gift win. 🎈
Infantino Pop-Up Ball Pit with 50 Balls, 35"
Soft blocks are one of my most-recommended toys in early intervention — perfect for little hands learning to grasp, stack, and (let's be honest) knock down. Safe for mouthing too!
Infantino Squeeze & Stack Soft Blocks 6+ Months
A booster that actually entertains them while you eat? Yes please. The music and lights buy you a peaceful meal and the tray wipes clean in seconds.
Infantino Music & Lights 3-in-1 Booster Teal
Bath time game-changer! These make water play so much fun and they're great for little hand muscles. Pro tip from a mom: they rinse clean easily so no moldy surprises. 🛁
Infantino Aquarium Bath Squirters
Teething days are rough on everyone. This silicone teether is the perfect size for tiny hands to grip and gentle on sore gums. Toss it in the diaper bag!
Infantino Lil' Nibbles Silicone Teether
Babies are obsessed with mirrors — and for good reason! Mirror play supports self-awareness and visual tracking. This busy board packs in so many sensory textures too.
Infantino Busy Board Mirror & Sensory Toy
Different textures = amazing sensory input for little ones. These are the perfect size for rolling, chasing (hello, crawling motivation!), and little hands.
Infantino Textured Multi Ball Set, 6-Piece
Cause and effect in toy form! Drop the ball, watch it spiral down — toddlers will do this approximately 400 times and learn something every time. 😄
Infantino Bop & Drop Ball Tower Toy 12M+
A STEM classic for a reason — gears teach problem-solving, fine motor skills, and patience. This is the toy that grows with them from toddler to preschooler. ⚙️
Learning Resources Gears Deluxe Building Set
As a therapist, I'm obsessed with these. They're wonderful for calm-down corners and helping little ones name big feelings. Shake, watch, breathe. 💛

Peekaboo never gets old! This farm set is fantastic for teaching object permanence and animal sounds — two huge language milestones. 🐄
Learning Resources Original Peekaboo Farm
Matching games build early math and thinking skills, and dinosaurs make everything cooler. The pieces snap together so little hands can manage them independently. 🦕
