Hammer Away is a must-have playroom toy for babies. Compact and sturdy, this colorful boat allows baby to match colorful plastic balls to the openings in the boat's top and then hammer them through the boat until the balls wind their way out into the waves below. This toy gives active babies and toddlers a safe way to burn off some energy while learning cause and effect and building hand-eye coordination. My daughter began playing with this toy at about 12 months and still loves it at age four.
The Busy Time Playbox is a baby shape sorter and so much more. Designed for babies 18 months and up, the Busy Time Playbox has spinning cog wheels, bright colors, interesting patterns, and a cool side entry that allows baby to retrieve the shape sorter blocks easily to start again. The blocks are not only sorted by shape, but by color as well. A sturdy handle lets baby carry this favorite toy anywhere.
Castle Marbleworks may be a child's toy, but the whole family will enjoy creating paths for the oversized marbles to tumble down. For babies 24 months and up, Castle Marbleworks has several ramp pieces that can be arranged in many different ways to make new paths. When baby has built a marble tower, the weighted marbles are dropped into the turret cup at the top to clatter and jingle all the way down. Babies and toddlers are fascinated by this great cause-and-effect teaching toy.
These simple stacking cups will become a favorite for babies and parents. Brightly colored and made of sturdy plastic, Measure Up Cups have scalloped top edges for easier scooping, animal prints on the bottom for stamping in molding clay, and numbers to help baby boost math skills. If baby fills cup 1 and cup 4 with water, the water can be dumped out to fill cup 5, giving baby a lesson in volume and addition.
The Safari Land Sensory Playmat can be used as soon as baby is born, giving your baby something interesting to gaze at while laying on the floor. As baby grows, this activity gym has teething toys, musical components, lots of animal friends, and enough activity to keep toddlers busy for hours. The Safari Land Sensory Playmat is a great baby gift that will continue to be used through the toddler years.
Packed with sensory experiences, the Tangiball is fun and interesting for babies of all ages. The nubby texture and vanilla scent make this ball hard to put down, and babies will love to hear the ball squeak when they squeeze it. Best of all, Tangiball is very durable. I received a Tangiball as a baby gift when my daughter was born, and four years later it still has the nice vanilla scent and looks great despite spending many nights in the sandbox or out in the rain.
For younger babies, this plush treasure box allows independent play as well as fun story activities with a parent. Six soft animals hide inside the box, and each animal has its own texture and sound. Parents can hide the animals in several pockets and spaces around the box to help baby discover them. A parent guide is included to help new parents find ways to play along with baby.
Babies love music, and love it even more when they can make the music themselves! Tot Rock is a baby music set that includes a drum, trumpet, tambourine and cymbals, each with brightly colored and patterned accents for visual stimulation. The soft drum stick makes plenty of baby-pleasing noise on the drum, but isn't hard enough to hurt much if baby turns it on a playmate. Velcro loops let parents store the music set together when not in use.
It's never to early to read to baby and learn to interact with one another. Animal Sounds is an oversized, sturdy board book with a dial in the middle that is spun on each page to determine which animal sound you should make. Baby can have lots of silly fun making classic animal sounds like moos and barks, or learn some new sounds. Do you know what a kookaburra says? This unique book makes a great baby gift that will be enjoyed for years.
If you're searching for a gift for a young baby, this odd-looking teething toy is a sure-fire hit. Big enough for baby's hand to grasp easily, the Super Yummy Teether has five different teething surfaces so baby can bite and bite some more to keep pressure on aching gums. A vanilla scent is pleasant for parents and soothing for baby.
