SHOP OUR FAVORITES:

1 – Fisher-Price Deluxe Kick n’ Play Piano Gym ($39.88)

With the musical keys and the hanging toys, this toy is such a hit in our house! Best of all, it can be used while our babies are on their back, sitting, or tummy time!

2 – Baby Einstein Glow & Discover Light Bar Activity Station ($18.98)

Our girls absolutely love this light bar and will entertain them for HOURS! The keys switch between three languages, music, and animal sounds too!

3 – Sassy Developmental Bumpy Ball ($9.99)

This ball has lots of textures and it makes noise when hit or rolled, so this really captivated carolines attention during playtime!

4 – VTech Baby Lil’ Critters Moosical Beads ($14.99)

This is the first toy Caroline was able to push the buttons on her own, so it was a hit in our household!

5 – Baby GUND Animated Flappy The Elephant Stuffed Animal Baby Toy Plush ($27.43)

These are the softest stuffed animals, and my daughter and niece take these with them wherever they go. We love including one of these with a baby shower gift for our friends, plus they come in a variety of adorable animals!

6 – LeapFrog Shapes and Sharing Picnic Basket ($24.99)

We love this picnic basket and it’s something that can grow with the baby. Initially Caroline enjoyed listening to the music when clicking the butterfly, but as she has gotten older she’s still enjoying this toy learning how to open/close the lid and get the shapes through their specific holes.
