Toddler/baby toys that will actually get used!

Purple Star emoji 28 items
I have a baby who will be 1 in December and a baby who will be 3 in January. That being said there’s a lot of toys bought that they don’t even look at😅 so I decided to make a list of things they both use regularly so you stop wasting money!

Not a toy but an essential in toddlerhood! Both my kids are able to use it one being 10 months and the other almost 3. Their dentist also recommends this as it doesn’t shift teeth like classic sippy cups and bottles!

Baby (0-2)

This is all things appropriate for smaller babies. I’d guess around 0 to 2 or slightly older! (The above lists do have some toys that are age appropriate for both small and big kids!) this one’s dedicated to just the little little ones though!
