List of Gift Ideas For Babies And Toddlers

The specific products I list below are ones I either personally purchased or chose after doing my research and going through hundreds of reviews.

1. Wooden Activity Cube

There’s a ton of different wooden activity cubes all over the internet. And prices will range quite a bit.

Well, let me tell you. I decided to bite the bullet and go for the big boy. This was one of the more expensive wooden activity cubes I found. But the quality 100% backed it up. The cheaper ones consisted of reviews ranging from some parts being hazardous and other concerns about the quality.

And this is easily the most used and played toy we have.

2. Mega Blocks

I was a little skeptical about purchasing Mega Blocks for my baby since she was still less than a year old at the time. But as they say, “time flies when you have a baby”. And now that she’s a toddler, she absolutely loves her Mega Blocks.

3. Pull Wagon

Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Pull and Play Learning Wagon is another favorite in our household. It’s not only easy for my a baby to pull but it’s the perfect 3-in-1 toy. You can pull it, keep it stationary, learn from the interactive sounds, buttons, and shapes, and it comes with extra smaller toys.

4. Activity Mat

Fisher-Price piano activity mat has grown with her since she was 3-months old. You can easily adjust parts of the activity mat to meet all developmental stages. And one of the best parts about this toy is the ability to take off the piano and the hanging toys.

5. Activity Table

Activity tables are the best. They not only keep your baby or toddler occupied, but it also helps them learn. Read BENEFITS OF ACTIVITY TABLES FOR BABIES by Infantino.

6. Walker

The only walker my daughter enjoyed being in and helped her walk at just 8-months old was this Winnie the Pooh baby walker. And the best thing about this walker is that the trays come out for space to lay snacks or other toys.

Vtech sit to stand baby walker is better suited for babies and toddlers that are in the process of learning how to walk independently. It’s got two different settings for the walker to freely move or slowly move with the baby.

9. Bath Toys

Bath time is way more enjoyable with more toys. There’s bath crayons that toddlers can write on the bathtub.

Or other bath toys that squirt water.

10. Baby Doll

I didn’t know giving babies a baby doll to play with was a thing until my mother-in-law gifted one for Christmas.

And believe it or not, it’s one of my daughter’s favorite things to drag around the house. Not to mention, it’s a great way to teach them to care for another little baby when you’re expecting another baby.

11. Stuffed Animals

Stuffed animals weren’t a thing for my baby until she was about 6 months old. But when she started getting into it, she couldn’t not walk around with one in her hand.

12. Books

Books make up for a thoughtful gift for any occasion.

13. Outdoor Activities

In a world where technology has taken over, it’s nice to see our babies play outside.

Some of my favorite memories are playing with the water hose. Or better yet, a sprinkler play area perfect for our babies and toddlers.

Another great gift is a mini slide for babies and toddlers for the backyard.

14. Kids Tents and Tunnels

I used to beg my mom to take me to a McDonald’s that had a playground in it growing up. And now they sell these tents and tunnels for toddlers that could definitely grow with them.

15. Ride On Toy

There’s so many different options for ride on toys. My daughter was gifted Skip Hop 3-in-1 Baby Activity Walker & Ride On Scooter toy by her grandpa and we love it because you can take the purple “seat” off and transforms into a scooter. You can also flip it around to where it’s a basket.

16. Toddler Sofa

A cute miniature toddler sofa that converts into the perfect nap time area.

17. Personalized Blanket

Personalized gifts are my favorite and it makes for a great keepsake. And toddlers love getting attached to blankets at this age.

18. Toy Instrument

You probably won’t hear the end of it once your baby or toddler gets their hands toy instruments. But at least it’ll keep them occupied with minimal screen time.

19. Sports Center

We love VTech Smart Shots Sports Center and this toy was a hit. A great toy for laying down an active foundation for babies and toddlers.

VTech Sort and Discover Activity Cube is one of my daughter’s favorite toys that have continuously kept her occupied. It’s also educational and has multiple settings. And not to mention, very lightweight.
