Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube Our little baby loves music, so I think this will probably be a wonderful toy for her. It is huge and straightforward to use, and we had some thing a bit similar for the boys. It plays French horn, piano, flute, and violin sounds and has nice rounded corners so no one gets hurt. You can also have all of the instruments play at once with an orchestra button; I think she is going to love this.
Melissa & Doug Pretty Purse Fill and Spill I knew some thing was diverse when my wife asked me to get this for the babynamely, we really did have a new baby girl inside the family! I was so used to having baby boys, so this was a wake up call. Although this could be a little old for her, I believe with some supervision this will probably be a fun toy for her, plus it brings out her girly side in a home where the boys outnumber the girls.
Playskool Explore and Grow Busy Ball Popper We had the older version of this for our first two kids, and they loved it. I don't know where ours went, but I think the reason it disappeared was that the balls had been all lost, and you definitely will need the balls that came with it to get the most out of the toy. I also discovered this relaxing as a parent, and I confess to playing with it myself. Playskool constantly puts out a top quality product, and as long as this is the same as our older model, I can with out pause give it a thumbs up.
Geomag GBaby Baby Farm 19 pieces - GBaby is truly a business that I had not heard of before my wife brought this to my attention. It looks pretty awesome, though, as a baby toy with magnetic shapes and rubber animals (teething) that provide a nice rattling sound. They are bathtub and dishwasher secure for effortless cleaning (not that my wife lets the children have bath toys). Manufactured in Sweden and looks pretty darn cool even if the eyes of the animals are just a little large. I believe this will be a terrific toy for the baby to get those motor skills going, and if this works out they've some other sets we could get. A firm I have to learn more about.
Yookidoo Stack Flap N Tumble - Some reviewers don't like this product, but I bought it, anyway, as I am a fan of the parent corporation that makes the product. Plus all the parents who believe the child has to stack them up have no imagination; this does not need to be the case, as we have fun interacting with the baby by being the 1 that stacks up the toy and let the baby knock them down. Plus I also think this will be a great toy for our older boys (almost 5 and 7) to interact with baby. Now we just have to be sure we do not lose the balls, as they appear to get eaten up in this house by some blackhole I do not know about. I will let you know about this toy after the holidays on how we all like it.
Now Baby L might be acquiring a bunch of other issues from the grandparents, so we try to not go overboard the first holiday. Thus this is our Infant Christmas Gift list for 2010. If we decide to add on to it you may see an additional post in December sometime.
