Dibly is a great teether for babies! The material is soft enough, yet hard enough to relieve little ones sore gums. You can put it in the dishwasher or in boiling water to sterilise. Place it in the fridge or freezer to cool down which can be extra soothing.

This fun toy connects to any flat surface by suction cup. Take it to a restaurant or even on the plane to keep baby entertained. Bonus, you don’t have to worry about it dropping on the floor and getting germs on it!

The cutest activity center you’re going to find! The moment my babies can hold their head up, I pull out our activity center. They love to bounce in it and play with all the toys on it.

Lots of buttons and sounds to push and explore. The wheels can even lock to slow the baby down and it rolls slowly on carpet. Overtime it will give your little one confidence to take off on their own.

Lakeshore learning-what’s inside box?

My older kids love to pull out the soft objects from the box and guess what it is. My baby can pull the items out all day. Its a win win for all ages. It is packed with 10 different sensory objects for kids to feel and explore.

I was hesitant to share this one with you guys because it has been a curse in our house. My 3 year old has been attached to his security blanket since he was 1 and cannot sleep without it! I love that he has something to comfort him but I really hate the nights I spend hours looking for it.

Ancaixin Baby balance bike

I am slightly obsessed with this adorable balance bike that babies can start using as young as 10 months! With this no-pedal bike, kids can use their feet to reach the ground and move their feet to push the bike to practice balancing. This will make the transition to a pedal bike seemless!

This fun bath toy easily attaches to the bathtub and draws water from the tub without wasting water. It comes with brightly colored bath cups that work with the spout to create different water effects for spraying, straining and floating fun!

These gorgeous modern stacking cups come in a set of 8 with fun holes on the bottom for bath and water play.

These 4 soft baby rattles are easy to grasp for little hands and they all have different sounds and textures. When your baby is done playing with them, place the rattles inside the house carrying case!

It’s a bit on the pricier side but you do get way more features and use with this gorgeous wooden play gym. I love that this is taller than most baby gyms to allow for seated play, and the tent feature is amazing. This gym will grow with your child, worth the investment to me!
