With the holidays just around the corner it can be very overwhelming picking out gifts. I’ve curated a gift guide for babies & toddlers with toys that will help promote your little ones developmental skills. It’s complete with shoppable links to help you navigate your shopping this year from the comfort of your couch!

This gift guide is separated into three categories: Birth -12 months, 12 – 18 months and 18+ months. BUT! I want you to know this list is not exclusive – a toy that you see in one category could certainly be appropriate for an older or younger child! There are also several alternatives. Please don’t feel like you need to purchase the exact item I have shared. One last note, some of the items are affiliate links, meaning if you buy items through my link I may receive a small commission.

I’ve also added a section just for you mama, because you deserve something nice too!
