Smaller Babies (under 15months)

Babies won’t grasp the concept of presents yet, however they will probably pick up on the buzzing holiday atmosphere.  Maybe the best thing to get a baby for Christmas is something that they (or their parents) can actually use for longer and in different ways. But being practical about it doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of cute gifts out there!

Here are a few ideas for Babies and Toddlers:

Something to stimulate the senses

One of the things that’s pretty handy about young children is that, well, they can be entertained by more or less anything! So when you’re looking for a gift for your kids, think about what will be both engaging and help them in their development. There are great sustainable wooden options you can buy that will help their fine motor skills and keep them fascinated at the same time

• Shapes, colours and sounds - E.g. Wooden Sound Blocks
• Stack and race - Matchstick Monkey Wooden Safari Jeep

Something they can use every day

A high quality play mat that is comfy and engaging will make their tummy time and play sessions so much more fun. For toddlers, indoor gym options are looking pretty stylish these days – and provide hours of fun on a rainy day!
