Finishing off the week with the first of this year's age-related gift guides – for babies and toddlers. Think texture, sound and monochrome schemes for sensory stimulation, plus sculpture wooden toys to help develop motor skills and, of course, a cuddly toy or two! Twenty gorgeous gift ideas and, thanks to the lovely folk at BIBS, some beautiful baby goodies for one lucky BG reader!
Check out the rest of the Bambino Goodies 2023 Christmas gift guides – including advent calendars, pyjamas and stockings & sacks – and stay tuned for more age guides next week. Keep up to date by following @bambinogoodies on Facebook, Instagram and X.
Favourite baby toy has to be the classic stacking cups. Hours of building and knocking down.
Memorable childhood toy has to be the skip counter. Hoop around your ankle then jumping over the ball as you swung it round. Many bruises but hours of fun trying to beat your own top score!
Yes! I remember these!
Favourite baby toy by far: silicon stacking blocks. With numbers on the one side and different textures on the other sides and they are all different muted colours. Soft enough for little hands to handle, very durable and of course, fab to chew on.
Chewability is paramount for baby/toddler toys!
We loved wooden blocks for our baby who’s now 5 as they’re still used so often. Looking forward to our new arrival playing with them too.
Wooden blocks are one of those heirloom toys that can be passed down as well.
