Who else has a hard time finding toys to keep their Toddlers entertained?
Here is a list of recommended toys I created!
Choose from this list of cute, fun and creative toys to gift your little ones!
As a mom of four—including 4-year-old twins, one of whom is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum—I’ve tried a lot of sensory toys over the years. My sensory-seeking kiddo loves movement, textures, sounds, and anything that keeps his hands and mind busy. After experimenting with so many options, these are the toys that truly stood out for him.
What makes this list even more special is that my neurotypical children enjoy these toys just as much. They’re engaging, durable, and fun for all kids—not just those with sensory needs. Everything on this list has been tested in real life, in the chaos of a busy household, and has kept all four of my kids entertained, regulated, and happy.
These toys encourage exploration, support sensory needs, and offer calming or stimulating input depending on the moment. Most importantly, they’re items my children actually reach for on their own—again and again.
I recommend these books because I’ve read them with my own kids and seen what actually holds a baby’s attention. They’re the ones that get grabbed, chewed on, and asked for again—simple, sturdy, and engaging enough to make early reading feel fun instead of forced.
If you're doing up a care package for your bestie who is about to pop or newly postpartum, here is my curated list to make her feel comforted in those early days and help get her feeling back to herself!
