Hi! We have a couple trips coming up and it would be great to have a few small new gifts that will keep the kids occupied while we travel. Kids are two and four. Any ideas for either gifts or stocking stuffers that are small enough for travel? We have a lot of sticker books already. Also my two year old is very active:)
Thanks!

Here are some travel toys that will be sure to keep your kids entertained! |
Can you recommed a jumper for our 8 month old? Looking for a stationary one, not the kind that hangs on the door frame, but that also folds up for when not in use.

Two very good options are the Fisher Price Spacesaving Jumparoo (https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Interactive-SpaceSaver-4-Position-Adjustable/dp/B06Y3RDT3V/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1512409767&sr=8-2&keywords=fisher+price+space+saving+jumperoo) and the Skip Hop Explore & More Jumpscape Foldaway Jumper (https://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Explore-Jumpscape-Fold-Away/dp/B075XP1VS2/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1512409858&sr=1-1&keywords=skip+hop+explore+and+more+jumpscape). Both are capable of quickly folding flat to store under your couch or a crib. The Fisher Price jumper comes at a slightly smaller price point and doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the Skip Hop jumper. But both play music, come with interactive toys and have multiple height levels for as your child grows. |
Hi! What educational toys would you recommend for an active 15 months old boy? We got books, stuffed animals, and other baby (infant) toys, but I would like for him to play with toys more appropriate for his age.
TIA

At 15 months, babies are moving on from their simple toys and are ready for more challenging and imaginative yet age appropriate toys! |
We'd love some gift ideas for our daughter. She is 7 mo old -- looking for something somewhat educational and fun -- and eco-friendly / chemical free. She loves cups so maybe something in the building theme would be great. Oh, and something that she can use now and still enjoy as she gets older and becomes a toddler would be great too! Thx!
