Playtime is important for your baby’s development and these toys are sure to stimulate your child’s senses and desire for learning. Below is a list of tried and true non-toxic, eco-friendly gift ideas for all the little ones on your list.
Pull Alligator
Made from 100% sustainable, solid rubber wood Plan Toys toys are some of the best quality around and one of my favorite brands! This pull alligator is perfect for on the go! Plan Toys also makes other cute pull toys too!
Nesting & Stacking Cubes
Nesting cubes are such versatile toys and super easy to store too! Introduce your little one to numbers, colors, and animals as they learn how to stack these cardboard cubes! These cubes were definitely a must-have for us!
Wooden Rainbow Stacker
My daughter received this rainbow lighthouse stacker for her 1st birthday and it was definitely a great learning toy. If you are looking for something more like the traditional ring stacker, check out this option by Plan Toys!
FatBrain PipSquigz
FatBrain PipSquigz are a favorite in our house! Made from 100% silicone, they are such a versatile toy making them perfect for the playroom, bath, pool, or even on-the-go! Plus, they are dishwasher safe.
Lovevery Play Kit
Lovevery makes so many cute toys and play kits for babies and children up to age 3! Lovevery subscription boxes make great gifts too!
Sensory Tumbling Toys
These cute little sensory balls stimulate your baby’s senses of sight, touch, and hearing (Ball 1 – Mirror | Ball 2 – balls inside | Ball 3 – soft cotton fill). They come in pastel colors as well!
Punch & Ball Drop
Great for developing fine motor skills, learning colors, and exploring the punch & drop game is just plain fun!
Clutching Toys
Babies and toddlers loveee putting things in their mouths so naturally clutching toys make a great gift especially if they are non-toxic and sustainable. A few favorites include this ball clutch from Haba, this wooden ring made in Germany, and this clutching square by Plan Toys.
Green Toys
Made from 100% recycled milk jugs, Green Toys are better for the environment than traditional plastic toys and free lead, PVC, phthalates, and BPA! This starter set makes a great gift as well as this shape sorter and this stacker!
Non-Toxic Art Supplies
Sensory play is important for baby’s developing brain which is one reason art supplies make a great gift! Little ones are able to explore and engage their creative side in an unstructured way. When my daughter was little, I was very careful to only give her truly non-toxic art supplies since baby’s are constantly putting things in their mouth. These finger paints are crafted with natural, organic vegetables and contain zero yucky ingredients. Non-toxic crayons and natural play dough make great gifts too! Check out my Amazon Storefront for more art supply ideas.
Push & Pulls Toys
This push pull toy is a very durable, non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative to the plastic version of a ball popper! Another one of my daughter’s favorite toys is this duck, but it sells out fast!
Wooden Drum
Drums make great gifts for little ones! We have this one which is made from solid wood and non-toxic dyes.
Sophie the Giraffe
Sophie the Giraffe is definitely a favorite in our house. This non-toxic natural rubber toy has been used as a teether, in the bath and everywhere in between!
Teethers
Teethers make great gifts and stocking stuffers! I especially love teethers that can double up as toys too like this one! My daughter really loved this silicone one too by Comotomo.
Clothing & Pajamas
Clothing and pajamas are always a good option when it comes to gifts since little ones grow so quickly! Check out my post on my favorite organic brands here.
Books
Books make great gifts for babies, children and adults! This was one of our favorites when my daughter was little!
