Believe it or not, this cheap little rattle was my son’s favorite !! When we introduced him to it, he wouldn’t put it down. I think the openings made it easier for him to grip while he was working on developing his fine motor skills. It’s small enoug...

This was a fun toy to encourage my son to crawl! The song wasn’t so annoying and it moved all over that it kept him engaged. He easily figured out that once you take the ball off the cloud it stops moving so he was always working to get it.

This toy kept my baby entertained for a good amount of time ! There are songs and then there is an option for them to play their own music like a key board. It also is able to be tied to a crib so your baby can kick at it with their feet.

This mat is so adorable and so soft!! My baby loved playing under this as a baby and I ended up adding more toys to it to switch out and keep baby engaged. Even once we weren’t doing tummy time, my toddler would go over to sit and play with the toys ...

Water play mats are a must for babies and tummy time! There are brand name ones that are more money but I found one that was half the price and did the same job. The key is to also add some vinegar in when you fill with water so that it doesn’t get m...

Contrast cards!! These are a good thing to have around for babies 0-6 months. This set is great because it is broken up into the different stages. I would pull them out for tummy time and prop them up around baby or when he was laying down on his pla...

This toy was (& still is a hit with my 2 year old) a hit for my baby when we first got it. It can be played with or without the legs. In the beginning we had it set up like that but as baby was pulling to a stand we put it on the legs so he could...

This activity center is so fun! Once my baby was sitting up on their own, we pulled this out and he enjoyed himself playing on this. We still have it out and he will play with it from time to time and he’s 2 now. The seat can come out and change into...

This push toy is what really helped to get my baby to start walking. In the beginning I would sit him in front of it and let him play with the toy. Eventually, once he started to pull to a stand and try to walk, we would place him on other side of it...

Link squad fan!! Haha this toy has some good jams and the baby loved to play this when he was getting closer to one. The songs are catchy and not annoying. They teach different things with their songs such as body parts and abcs and numbers.

Soft silicone blocks make for endless play. This set comes with blocks and a few other pieces to make playtime interesting. This is a good way to engage baby in fine motor skills training with stacking.

This toy is a second favorite to the dj toy. We used this toy for tummy time and regular play. It kept our baby super engaged and it grew with him that we didn’t get rid of it until after he was one. Super easy to put together as well.
