Toys My Nanny Kids Have That I’m Jealous Of

Purple Star emoji 15 items
I nanny for two baby boys (as well as some older kids here and there) and they have some sick toys! I think I enjoy playing with these more than they do. If you have a baby or toddler in your life, you can definitely find something for them here.

This one is for a bit of an older kid, but it is incredible. I had a play kitchen growing up and adored it, so I think every kid deserves one.

Babies famously love flipping through books and looking at random pages. I love this book because no matter what page he flips to, he can learn new words! I can read them, but the book also reads them aloud if he's wanting some independent time.

This has to be one of the softest stuffed animals I've ever felt in my life. I would spend all day hugging this if I was a baby.

The music doesn't drive me crazy and he loves it! It's also super cute to watch a little baby play with a coffee cup.

Soft stackers are great because they can learn about building and organization, but they're also awesome because you get so many different toys in one!

Wearable rattles are perfect because they make me laugh and they keep the baby entertained! It's so fun to watch them explore what is and isn't a part of them.
