BABY HOLIDAY TOY GUIDE
By Dana Sullivan
Holidays are approaching quickly. And while the best gift of all is,
of course, your new baby, you probably won't be able to resist wrapping
up a few toys to entertain and enthrall her during the next few months.
Here are a six fun toy suggestions -- a combination of classic and new
items -- for birth to one year. (Please note the recommended age, which
is listed for both safety and developmental appropriateness).
- Baby's First Blocks (set of three 4" blocks) from Warm Biscuit
Babies
will want to toss, stack and squeeze these unique cloth blocks. They're
soft and squishy, and easy for even the youngest babies to get their
hands around. Handmade from vintage fabrics. All ages.
- Little Tikes Musical Motion Ocean Activity Gym
A
captivating "play station" that baby can lie beneath and entertain
himself, batting at colorful characters and activating lights and
music. When he's old enough to sit and stand, you can rotate the top so
your toddler can continue to play. Zero to 36 months.
- Hoopla Take and Shake Snake
Just the ticket for
holiday travel. The silly snake, with different textures and activities
at each of its five sections, will keep baby amused whether you're
traveling by plane, train or automobile. It's also a great attachment
for a crib or stroller. Six to 24 months.
- Fisher-Price Pull-Up Ball Blast
If your baby is
preoccupied with pulling herself to a standing position, she'll be
thrilled with this toy, especially since once she's up, she can safely
cruise around it, holding on to the steering wheel-like top. Seated or
standing, she can roll balls down the various chutes, activating
different lights and music. (Assembly required; it takes about 10
minutes.) Nine months and up.
- Lamaze Nesting Present by Learning Curve
Two
presents in one. Your infant will delight in stacking the four
drum-shaped pieces and then toppling them. Each piece has a different
design, plus crinkling inserts and bells that intrigue. Twelve months
and up.
- Radio Flyer Walker Wagon
Whether your baby is
cruising or walking with confidence, he'll love pushing this classic
red wagon around. The tubular bar across the back makes it easy for
early walkers to grab hold of and push. Twelve months and up.
