Busy Bee Discovery Flower
Is there a baby on your holiday list that is differently abled? Don't panic. You don't have to go those expensive therapy catalogues to find the perfect gift. Many mainstream toys are designed to stimulate development regardless of a baby's abilities. Check out this Busy Bee Discovery Flower. It is designed to lay flat to encourage sitting upright. The flower petals make a variety of sounds to teach cause and effect and stimulate the sensory development. Motor skills are encouraged by folding the petals into the center of the flower. There are so many exciting features to this toy, you will quickly understand why it has won two parenting awards.

You can never have too many sorting toys. They are such a valuable part of your baby's development. This Put and Peek Birdhouse is a new take on a classic hide and pour toy. Your child will laugh as he fills the birdhouse with the birds and watches them tumble out. Bright colors will keep your little one interested and the soft fabric is easy on tender hands.

BABY STELLA
Who can resist a little cuddly doll like BABY STELLA? Unlike the hard plastic dolls that fill most toy store shelves, she is soft, warm and adorable. She has a removable diaper and a magnetic pacifier that attaches to her lips. Accessories include a diaper changing station, a feeding set and stroller. Baby Stella is a great introduction to imaginative play for any little girl who is just becoming a toddler.

Tilly Tunes Inchworm
It is so amazing when you see your child learn something for the first time. Tilly Tunes Inchworm will give you the chance to do just that. Tilly's six musical feet will teach your baby cause and effect, a major developmental milestone. As your child pinches Tilly's feet, soft classical music begins to play. It's a great way for you to bond with your child and teach valuable lessons too.

Block Party Geometry
The winter months can be brutal outside, but they can also be brutal on the inside if you have a baby that likes to crawl around and explore. A friend once swore to me her twins would cry from boredom on long winter days. I believe it. Even babies need exercise. For ages 6 months and up, these oversized building blocks are perfect for climbing and building. They are so sturdy you will have them for years. That's longer than any play gym membership will last.

Bright colors and fun sounds keep your little one entertained. And who can resist the friendly Baby Einstein caterpillar that is hanging out on the side of the toy?

Radio Flyer 2700S Pathfinder Wagon, Red
It's never to soon to get your baby his first wagon. My husband and I thought so much about the features of the wagon we bought for our first child. We love it, but I wish I would have chosen one with built in seats, like the Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon. When little ones learn to stand up, it seems they never want to sit down. That can be dangerous when you're pulling them in the wagon. This wagon also features no tip steering and cup holders. If your at the beach or in the park, you will definitely appreciate that.

Little Playzone with Sounds and Lights
Not all babies are content to sit in the pack and play with a few toys after they get mobile. That's why the Little Playzone can be a lifesaver for a busy parent. Bright colors and sounds keep your baby entertained and safe in an enclosed area. The play area is 13 square feet and and can be used indoors or outdoors. Also, unlike boring circular gates, the Little Playzone is a welcoming place for your child. Now there's no excuse not to get those chores done.

Eezy Peezy Slide
Cold weather is coming and the days are getting shorter. The days of playing outside are coming to an end. Unfortunately, cabin fever can set in pretty quickly, even for babies. This Eezy Peezy Slide is a great way to keep your little ones entertained while the rain drops hit the window. It beats watching DVDs over and over, and you will be encouraging motor development as well.

Poppin' Push Car
Have you ever noticed that your baby's favorite toys also make obnoxious noises? Well brace yourself for the pop pop pop of the Poppin' Push Car. All your little one has to do is pull back and watch it go. Look at the bright side, at least it will be hard to lose this toy.

Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper
What parent doesn't love to see their baby laugh? Get your baby going with the Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper. After three kids, I didn't think I could stand another toy in the house, but we got this one as a gift and it was a sure fire hit. Ash loves the soft music and thinks it's hilarious when the balls come floating out of the tubes. When the soft music starts playing, he already giggles in anticipation of the balls coming out. It's so cute. This was definitely a great gift for a third baby.

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Blocks
It is so important for a baby to have a few sorting toys in their collection. In addition to learning shapes and colors, valuable motor skills are gained as your baby finds the right way to drop in the shape. Brilliant Basics has 10 blocks for your baby to play with. When he's done, he can take the top off, dump out the shapes and start all over.

Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Learning Farm
This is the latest version of the Fisher Price Learning House. It has all the learning tools you would expect from a Fisher Price toy. There are amazing sights and sounds to keep your baby's attention and sorting shapes to help improve motor coordination. I think babies will love the "feed the cow" feature most of all. Just open the barn door and let the fun begin.
