Toys & Books for Baby (Mom & Doula Approved)
It was so important to me for my daughter to have toys that promote learning, fine motor skills, sensory play and that she’ll actually use for a long time! It was also important for me to give her toys that will entertain her for longer than a couple of minutes. It was so fun to watch her explore, learn and get better at using these toys!
Tummy Time Play Pad This is such a fun way to keep your baby entertained during tummy time! It promotes fun time and stability.

Animal Magnets Whenever I needed a few minutes to cook, wash dishes or get a snack ready, I would give my daughter her box of magnets and let her stick them to the refridgerator while I got things done in the kitchen. Once she was walking, I placed them a little higher on the fridge so that she could practice reaching on her tip toes.
