Having just “had” a baby (ugh – he will be celebrating his 1st birthday soon so I guess just had is wrong wording at this point) I am often asked for recommendations for baby gifts. My personal opinion, for babes under 1, something fun, durable, musical and action-packed to grow their attention skills.
My most favourite shameless recommendation is Fisher-Price Topzy Tumblers Twirlin’ Tumblin’ Fun Park (and I told you all about it over HERE) it is by far my dear son’s favourite toy. And at almost 11 months – he has started to play with it on his own – putting the tumblers at the top of the ramp and watching them roll down. He can also start is on his own by touching the rattle spinner at the bottom. It is hilarious to watch him PLAY.
I also shamelessly recommend Fisher-Price Peek A Blocks because they are within a family friendly budget. Perfect size for little hands – you can play with them on their own, stack them, jiggle them (and they fit in the diaper bag oh so well!).
And if you are really at loose ends for finding a baby gift – check out fisherpriceplay.ca (where you may spy me and dear son) and also use their find the right toy module which connects you to the perfect toy (from babies and older!)

Those peek a blocks are fantastic. Can take a beating and each is so unique.
