Baby and toddler toys
We have one of these for each of our 3 oldest kids, and even at ages 8 and 10, they still get used often for various imaginative play. It's been a turtle shell or a sit and spin among other things..

These have been a favorite here for several years. My kids play with them in the bathtub, and the best time connecting and building with them.
Squigz - Best Bath Toys for Ages 3 to 6
We have the orange one, and it's a favorite teether of the moment. Probably because each little ring rattles so there is always sounds going on. Plus it suctions to a tray so they can grab but can't throw it on the floor.

We got this when my 4 year old was a baby but now my 5 month old loves to hold it and chew on it.. It's been around the block a few times but still looks brand new and gets a lot of use from the babies.

Whirly Squigz - Best Baby Toys & Gifts for Ages 1 to 2
We have 3 of these books, and I've bought my sister's little boy a couple as well. I love that they can be chewed and ripped but not actually messed up.

These each have different textures and are fun for baby to hold. If your little over likes to throw, watch out though. They are weighed and can be a little heavy. Not that kind of ball for sure.

I want to get one of these to let my little boy try out for a teether. It looks like such a good idea!
Chew Cube - Best Baby Toys & Gifts for Ages 0 to 1
This is so much fun to watch go up and down. I tend to get locked in and play with ours just to watch it spin up and down in my hand. And yes, I'm easily amused 😆💁🏻♀️.
MiniSpinny - Best Baby Toys & Gifts for Babies
We have this, and the"tissues" are fun for my baby to hold and pull out. They have slightly different textures as well as different farm animals. I love the pocket too so I can stuff them back in the barn and store them..

My 5 month old has the dinosaur version of this from Itzy Ritzy, and he plays with it all the time. He likes the crinkle sound and chewing on the teether.

We have a swing very similar to this and it's my kids' favorite swing. My 4 year old begs to be pushed in it a few times a week. My 8 year old wants to see how high he can go in it. My 10 year old loves just relaxing in it and going slow.
