Again these are a gift which will be used for a long time. 9-12 month olds - Zhu Zhu pets. These little toys are fabulous for babies who are just starting to move. marketed to older children, these toys move around the floor making little noises and lead to squeals of delight from crawling babies.

Oct 24, So many beautiful baby books, which to choose?...

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 10:56:40 GMT

Although paper books may be moving over for the wonderful electronic ones like kindle, there will still always be a market for beautiful baby books. There is something about a book that babies love, whether it's turning the pages, feeling the touch and feel books, flipping the flip the flap books or just enjoying some quiet time with their parents. Looking through all these wonderful books it can be hard to choose one though. Cloth books and bath books are excellent for younger babies, but board books are mucher better for the older baby, and if chosen well will last them into early school.

Oct 17, Giving a practical gift? What about baby feeding necessities?!

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:17:16 GMT

Baby feeding necessities are such a useful and practical gift to give. If you choose to give a high chair just keep in mind that the really cushioned ones are really hard to clean, and so are the straps that hold the booster seats onto a chair. Look for something with really clean lines and not many crevices to try to clean out. Baby feeding bowls which keep the meal warm are really useful too. Babies take a long time to eat an because their food can't be piping hot when they eat it their meal tends to be quite cold by the time they are finishing it. Warming plates solve this problem. In terms of bibs, if you know the parents are planning on using baby led weaning a bib with sleeves, like an art smock, is really handy. When babies feed themselves it is naturally a very messy affair, and their hands get up under the bib without them even meaning to, a smock helps to avoid baby ruining their clothes. Another really useful item is a set of wash cloths. These will be used at least three times a day and it is so much easier if there are plenty.

Oct 7, Baby Christmas Gifts - what on earth to choose......?!

Fri, 07 Oct 2011 23:20:08 GMT

With Christmas just around the corner I'm looking for baby first Christmas gifts and it's tough. I don't just want to get something that's going to be used for the day or perhaps the week, but would rather get a keepsake that can be used either next Christmas or looked at for years to come. My first choice is a Christmas stocking. These at least will get used every year for the next ten to fifteen years (perhaps longer for particularly festive families). The idea of a baby's first Christmas outfit is a nice one, and I managed to find one with an ornament that comes with it. The ornaments with photos in them are a little less messy than the clay mold types too. Another idea I had was a first Christmas photo album. There are bound to be any photos taken on the day and the surrounding weeks that will make for some lovely memories to look back on over the years. To start a tradition of gifts i also thought a Christmas clay mold ornament would be good. Although they can be messy to make they are rather gorgeous to behold! That way each Christmas the child could make a new one and hang their special ornaments on the tree, but it would also be a keepsake for them as adults.

Sep 20, Toys Which Improve Babies Development

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 05:37:32 GMT

Improving your understanding of normal babies development so you can get the best toys to help them learn

Sep 19, Babies development of coordination improves their learning ability

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:17:28 GMT

Babies development, an area that most new parents worry about, is something that is crucial for their later success at school. learning where their body is in space as a baby helps a child at school to be able to sit still and concentrate, use their pencil more easily so they can concentrate on what it is they're writing and move their eyes more easily so they con concentrate on the meaning of what they're reading rather than just trying to get the visual stimulus translated into words. All these things can be fostered in the first year of life with activities such as tummy time for postural control and early balance development, playing with balls to help hand eye coordination and listening to music to help the audio processing. The other obvious choice is introducing books at an early age to help foster a love a reading, but also encourage the coordination needed for turning the pages.

Sep 14, Organic baby toys - such a lovely gift to give eco conscious new parents

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 06:09:29 GMT

Before researching organic baby toys I had no idea just how many brands there are available these days! There are even brands available which do eco friendly plastic toys (made from recycled milk containers of all things). Being that little bit more exclusive baby gifts, organic baby toys also are usually well thought out as developmental toys. Most parents too are happy with them because they aren't going to worry about the new baby sucking any toxic chemicals off of the new toy (because it is such a normal developmental process of exploring everything with their mouths, even the most concerted effort wouldn't be able to stop this completely!)

Sep 2, First birthday gifts - what on earth should I buy?...

Fri, 02 Sep 2011 09:58:34 GMT

Buying first birthday gifts is so difficult if you don't have a baby. I was invited to two first birthday parties one month, well before I had my own baby and I had to ask a friend who had a baby what she recommended....! So, now that I have my little one and am going to all his friends first birthdays I've pulled out those old suggestions and also looked at my little guy to really see what are the best baby toys to buy a one year old. Shape sorters, particularly those that double as push toys (like the dump truck varieties) are fabulous 1 year old gifts. They go through this phase of wanting to put everything in and then pull everything out of containers. Hammer through toys are also a lot of fun. Babies begin their language development by banging things and getting some rhythm. This skill can be encouraged as well as their coordination with these toys. Push along trikes are so much fun. One year olds aren't quite ready to pedal themselves around, but they love to be pushed around. Push along walkers are also lots of fun for those wobbling early steps.

Aug 29, Baby Necessities

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 04:13:39 GMT

Wash cloths, towels, onsies and burp cloths are all baby necessities that you don't have to worry about other people also giving the same gift as you. I have a new baby to buy for who is now three weeks old, he is a second child so there are plenty of things that the parents don't need because they have already received them for the first child, but these necessities are the type of things that will be used no matter what!

Aug 21, Owls, the new unique baby bedding theme

Sun, 21 Aug 2011 11:03:58 GMT

Owls are the in thing for baby nurseries at the moment. There are some gorgeous designs either bright and colorful or more muted earthy tones. If you know someone decorating their nursery in an owl theme there are also so many other accessories you can get to complement that theme. There are window valances, lamp shades, hampers and pillows just to name a few!

Rings are the best toys for babies 3-6 months old. There are plenty of infant toys available, but these are the easiest for this age group to hold and play with.

Aug 15, Beautiful, traditional wooden toys

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 22:54:37 GMT

There's something about wooden toys that just screams keepsake. They are so well crafted and such good quality toys that you can just imagine them being passed through the generations. Interestingly, watching under fives playing with the toys my son has been given, they all go for the oldest toy first - I guess because it's nothing like anything they've ever played with. Some excellent brands are available who make wooden toys, and most of them are also developmentally engaging for a baby. These include Plan Toys, Grimm's Spieal and Holz, Melissa & Doug, Green Toys and Haba. For the younger, newborn age group there are Maple Landmark rattles and teethers.

Aug 11, Baby bath toys or baby pool toys?

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 23:00:43 GMT

Trying to find baby pool toys (apart from baby floatation devices or baby swimwear) is quite difficult. I basically had to look at the baby bath toys. To me it was also a little silly to get farm animal toys or jungle animal toys for the bath when you could just go for sea animal toys. It took a while to find, but there are some great ones available. The other toys I thought would be useful baby pool toys were nesting buckets. They would be able to go to the beach and make sand castles later, but now they teach the babies about volumes by pouring one into the other.

Aug 9, Developmental baby toys are fun

Tue, 09 Aug 2011 00:31:50 GMT

I was having lunch with a friend the other day who mentioned she had been using some montessori toys with her baby. It made me think, I hadn't even checked out the great range of educational toys that they create for babies. I was very impressed, but then was also thinking to myself that there are plenty of other baby toys that fill this criteria, like Plan Toys and Melissa & Doug for example. No one really seems to market their toys to the younger babies though, such as the 3-6 month age group. That got me thinking again, there are plenty of musical toys that can be used as rattles such as bells and maracas. Imagine the life of that toys, they'd be used well into the preschool years and potentially beyond. Ahh, the fun to be had.
