40+ learning songs, melodies and lullabies, for active daytime fun. Lots of ways to have fun with this little guy.

Out of all of the trucks we own, the dump trucks get the most action. Hint: metal trucks seem to be favored among the kids. I think it’s because the noise it makes when rocks and materials are dumped in and out.

A great car toy. Kids like all of the buttons and the loud click that happens when you turn the pages.

A classic toy for a good reason. It’s so fun to see kids begin to figure out how shapes work. Easy to store all of the pieces too.

Great for all ages, but the fun can start as soon as they can crawl. My kids had a lot of fun in these!

I don’t know why kids love these but they just do! My daughter’s baby stroller went with us on SO many walks when she was little.

Little ones take to dolls really quickly. This is a classic doll that is durable and will become a favorite quickly.

Not only do little hands like putting the “coins” in the bank but this toy has 40+ sing-along songs, tunes & phrases. 

These are a must for little ones. My kids used these over and over and over again! I love that they have little holes in the bottom for bath play too. For such a great price, you’ll get so much play out of something so simple and cheap!

I got a set of these when my children were in this stage and they are STILL around. It’s one of those toys that grows with the kids!

Little hands love these! Features five vibrant Silicone Bubbles built into a plastic frame that they can push, pop, poke, and grab. Perfect sensory delight!

Indestructibles is the trusted series for easing little ones into story time. Beloved by babies and their parents. They are built for the way babies “read” (i.e., with their hands and mouths) and are rip proof and waterproof.

Award Winning Durable Wooden Musical Pounding Toy. Sorry, parents. Kids this age love stuff like this! Their little brains love a big cause-effect toy!

You just can’t go wrong with getting one of these. Kids will use it for years and years!

I have never met a toddler that doesn’t obsess over this truck. It’s made from earth friendly materials (no BPA!), easy to clean, and dishwasher safe.

I got this for my youngest son when he was about 1.5 years old and it was a huge it. I thought for sure it’d pop quickly but was so surprised by it’s durability! It even survived older kids bouncing and boinging around the house with it.

30+ building pieces perfect for little hands. These blocks are a toddler staple that develop imagination and gross motor skills.

Water is drawn through the submarine to create a steady stream of water. No need to keep the bath faucet on!

We had one of these hanging under our deck for YEARS. Kids love them! My kids, who are way too old for it now, still ask about it!

My nephew’s favorite! Classic Little People farm playset with lights, music, sounds, and Smart Stages learning content.

A big ticket item but something you’ll be so glad you have.

This age group LOVES these. Perfect for indoor play on rainy days.

Used this inside during the winter months and outside in the summer. A huge hit!
