Shelf Rotation (2-3 years)
By introducing new materials and rotating out others, children stay curious, motivated, and challenged while reinforcing skills they’ve already learned.

Practical Life
Practical life skills are essential for children because they lay the foundation for independence, confidence, and lifelong learning.
This is AMAZING for my two year old. The routines and frustration has completely changed now that she has these tools to keep busy in the kitchen with mom. She begs for these anytime we are in the vicinity of the kitchen.

4-in-1 Toddler Kitchen Tower
This is the best to help encourage your little to start the routine of getting dressed everyday. I keep shoes, outfits and hats on this and she goes up to it every morning to pick her outfit out.

Playtime Puppy Toniebox 1 Starter Set - Pink
Sooo GOOD for the littles. I used this with my daughter when she showed interest in climbing and she still uses it at two!
Pikler Triangle
This has been instrumental in our household for both kids. You can make it a fort, make climbing builds, couch builds, etc. opportunities are endless and you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg for the other brand 😉

This is a great option to keep them busy while screens are off. All ages in my house use this!
Best Kids' Ball Pits
A lot like a Tonie, this is an AMAZING option and alternative to screen time. It’s narrated stories and is more geared towards audiobook style.
