  1. Brightly-Colored Board Books: Choose board books with simple pictures, bright colors, and sturdy pages that are perfect for little fingers to explore. Interactive features like lift-the-flap or touch-and-feel elements add an extra layer of engagement.
  1. Teething Toys: Teething toys made from safe, BPA-free materials provide relief for sore gums while satisfying your baby's natural urge to chew. Look for teething toys with different textures or ones that can be chilled in the refrigerator for added comfort.
  1. Activity Gym or Play Mat: An activity gym or play mat with colorful hanging toys, mirrors, and crinkle textures provides a safe and stimulating environment for your baby to play and explore while lying on their back or tummy.
  1. Stacking Rings or Cups: Stacking rings or cups encourage hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and problem-solving as your baby learns to stack and sort the rings or cups in size order.
  1. Musical Toys: Musical toys like bells, shakers, or toy pianos introduce your baby to different sounds and rhythms, stimulating auditory development and fostering a love for music.
  1. Soft Plush Toys: Choose soft, cuddly plush toys that are safe for chewing and snuggling. Animal characters, loveys, or comfort blankets provide comfort and companionship for your baby.
  1. Nesting and Sorting Toys: Nesting cups or stacking blocks allow your baby to explore concepts like size, shape, and spatial relationships while developing fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities.
  1. Baby Swings or Bouncers: Baby swings or bouncers provide soothing motion and gentle stimulation for your baby while giving you a hands-free moment to take care of other tasks.
  1. Personalized Keepsakes: Consider personalized gifts like a custom-made baby blanket, onesie, or stuffed animal with your baby's name embroidered on it for a special and meaningful keepsake.
