Bring on the Fun! Babies and Kids Gift Guide

It’s time for our Babies and Kids Gift Guide! I’m (Jen) definitely still a kid at heart, because picking out kids and baby toys is the easiest and most fun! Similar to teenagers, depending on how old your kids are they probably have a very specific list of what they want for the holidays. But, it can be fun going off the list a little bit for something you know they’ll love! 

And babies? Well, they pretty much love everything! 

We would never recommend anything that Jen’s daughter, or Dianne’s grandson wouldn’t love!

Energy Burning

I don’t know how kids have the amount of energy that they do, but parents usually need to burn off some of that energy before going to bed at night. These toys will help slow down their brain a bit, and burn off some of that extra energy (I wish they could give it to me!).

Babies Gift Guide

Bathtime 

I’ve found that toys for bathtime are usually a hit with older babies, and you can really never have enough! Bath toys are fun, but after a while they get gross. So even if they happen to have the same ones, they’re definitely going to use them eventually!

Music

Music for babies is great for development, and it’s so much fun watching them wiggle and enjoy the rhythm. All of the Fisher Price Linkimals toys are great, but Penguins are my favorite animal, and they didn’t have this little guy when Eme was a baby! Jealous!
