The following items make a great start to developing your kiddo’s love of independent play, exploration, and wonder. Each item is linked for easy access.

1. Picnic blanket

Babies love nothing more than spending time with you outside! Put baby to on the blanket with her toes in the grass for a great sensory experience and let her listen to the birds and watch the trees in the wind. While it is listed as waterproof, it is actually water *resistant.* Ages 0+

2. Silicone Blocks

These blocks are made of food-grade silicone so they are safe for baby to mouth. Not only are they stackable, each side pictures a different category for baby to learn. 

3. Fish Mat

Babies can sometimes push back against tummy time- this mat is a great way to help them stay interested to develop those muscles!

4. Aquarium

If you are on the fence about getting a pet for your baby to enjoy, consider starting with an aquarium! Babies love to watch the fish swim. If you’re not ready to invest in a true aquarium, this one is a great alternative. It also includes a classical music sound option to accompany the swimming fish.

5. Classical Bug

For babies learning to grasp, this sound/light device is a hit! It plays a medley of classical tunes with accompanying lights and has two volume options (and an off switch, always a plus).
