Melissa & Doug Water Wow! 3-pk Activity Pads
We introduced these books before she turned one and she had fun turning the thicker pages and the sensory of popping the dots. As she is older, she still loves popping the dots but you can practice counting with her as well. This is a larger book, bu...
Melissa & Doug Poke-a-Dot: Old MacDonald
This is by far the best investment I have made. As soon as she could stand we have used this and continue to use it as she gets older. We have big dogs so even though this is pretty heavy and doesn’t fold, I am so happy we have this one. My lab would...
Curipeer Toddler Kitchen Step Stool Helper
I consider myself scrunchy and try my best to eliminate plastic as much as I can. These are a game changer and super easy to throw in the dishwasher. There are 2 sets of lids so you can have a completely covered lid to keep food in or throw in the fr...
WeeSprout Glass Cups w/ Lids & Straws, 8 oz
I stopped using the silicone plates for my toddler pretty early on because she wasn’t dropping or throwing food and I heard that the silicone affects the taste if you wash them in the dishwasher too much. I started using ramekins and they have been a...
Selamica 4 oz Ramekins with Lids, Set of 6
We don’t have a ton of room in our house and wanted to get something that would grow with our toddler. She is also very independent so we went with one that didn’t have a strap, however there is a style that does have it. This allowed her to be able ...
Toddler Booster Seat for Dining Table, Dark Grey
This was a must have for us. We didn’t get it until we went on vacation and she was 10 months old and it has continued to work for us until she got a little more independent. This is easy to add to a bag and carry out to restaurants, use on vacation,...
Vevoza Portable High Chair for Travel
My child has always been in the 98th percentile for weight so she has given me a good workout but sometimes you need a little help especially if you are going somewhere where you’ll be walking a lot. We used this a lot when she was under 2 because sh...
AUYEAZGO Toddler Sling Carrier, Steel Gray
We got this when I had my C-section with my 2nd child and my husband had to go back to work. I needed to limit lifting my 30 lb 2 year old and this helped. There is a 2 and 3 step option. We went with the 3 step because all of counters are pretty tal...
Toddler Step Stool with Handles for Potty
I searched everywhere for a smaller table that wouldn’t take up too much space and this was a pleasant surprise to find at Walgreens. I love that it has a small sensory bin type bottom. Our toddler had a bigger table that was hard for her to get up o...
Bring On The Sun Sand N' Splash Activity Table, 1.0 set
We had a different chair at first and didn’t realize it wasn’t washable. We ended up getting this chair and it has been perfect. She uses this constantly and was perfect for her before she could climb up on the couch. Even now that she can she still ...
Blissful Diary 2-in-1 Kids Couch, Green
This was a clearance purchase and I am so glad I got it. This is something that I would probably have purchased full price now that I have seen how much fun she has with it. This is a great quality and easy for her to maneuver around for imaginative ...
Huddle Customizable Kids Play Foam Couch, Grey, 4 Pieces, for Toddlers Ages 2+
Having big dogs, I needed a way to keep my baby safe and allowing her to crawl around and practice walking without getting ran over by the dogs. Even without dogs, I would have wanted a safe place for her to play that I know she wouldn’t get out of. ...
Omzer Extra Large Baby Playpen with Mat
This is something that has endless opportunities for a variety of ages. I like that this one has a way to attach the pen to the tablet because it is so easy to lose those. This is used constantly in the car, at restaurants, doctors appointments, etc.
