- Little Einstein DVD. Little Einstein is famous for their learning videos! I have yet to meet a toddler or kid who didn’t fall in love with this series. Surprise your toddler with Little EInsteins this year for lots of fun, learning memories!
- Chunky board books. I remember when someone gave me a set of Chunky Board Books with my first child. We used those books over and over again. We used them for my other children as well. They lasted and lasted. I love that my toddlers could sit and look through all the pictures — all by themselves!. At other times, we would snuggled up point out all the yellow objects or the objects that started with a “B”. If you want your toddler to learn and connect with you, this is a super-sweet way to get it done! Perfectly sized for a stocking — and your purse! :)
- Boon water bugs floating bath toys. Bathtime should be fun! These water bugs and net are receiving rave reviews from moms and dads. Go beyond the rubber duck and enjoy some bug catching while your little one gets all scrubbed up.
