Teethers
Never underestimate the importance of a good teether - not only does it provide a lot of entertainment but can really soothe their gums!

Sophie la Girafe So Pure Teether
We have a billion teethers and this one is one of the favourites!

This one is a fave! All four cousins and now my two kids - all looove Mortimer the moose. We have TWO of him! As the baby gets older, different parts of the moose become interesting. Initially, great to hang overhead in the playcenter.

BabyCare playmats are 0.5 inch thickness which is recommended for when babies are learning to sit/walk and prone to falling a lot. If you take the time to look, most mats are UNDER the recommended thickness… It's shocking. They are also a decent size...

Hug & Tug Musical Giraffe™
Activity toys and learning centers
Great for when they are learning to sit, and later on, walk! It has brakes so they don't run initially LOL. P.S. Even at 1.5 she STILL LOVED THIS! They even had the same one at daycare and it has NOT gotten old. You'll get a LOT of use from this one <3
VTech Sit-to-Stand Walker
Multiuse and still popular with my almost 4yo! Can use in tummy time, then when they are practicing sitting, and finally, when they start practicing pulling up to stand ! It's like their first little table and great for developmental milestones. Feat...<3

Great intro to music and to practice supported sitting! The music cards are a great intro to note-playing that both baby and parent enjoy :)

Sassy® Stacks of Circles
Most of our baby toys came from Lovevery - took out the guesswork of what to get them at every age and a lot of the toys from the kits were hits for a LOOONG time. I know it seems pricey, but I would highly recommend subscribing at least for a few ki...
