The holidays are upon us and now that I’ve done my favorite things + my favorite baby things I figured I’d throw tots in the mix too. Here are some things I’ve come to love for my tot {and he likes them too, depending on the day…}
Train set – just recently we got Ben his first train set and he’s having a blast with it. Most of the sets work well together.
Mini diggers – Ben LOVES small trucks/cars/things he can hold in his hand and carry around. These are among his favorites.
Green Toys trucks/cars – Ben’s favorite is the school bus. These are great for indoors or outdoors, though I personally like the size for indoors.
Picasso Tiles – Ben loves to connect the tiles {by magnets} together and build garages or train stations
Daniel Tiger Goes to the Potty book – no explanation needed if you have a toddler
Balance bike – watching Ben ride his balance bike is one of my favorite things. It has given him so much confidence and he’s nailing it! Remember the matching helmet!
Hanna Andersson jammies – these will last forever, I swear!
Cat & Jack joggers – Cat & Jack makes basically the only brand of pants that fits Ben and I love their pants! Since we’re just wrapping up potty training we’ve gone through a lottttttt of pants washing, and despite the low, low price of Cat & Jack pants, they really hold up.
Native shoes – these are an absolute must for moderate weather. They are so durable and easy to wash. I love them and they slip on so easily.
Hunter rain boots – I know, I know. They’re so cute and they’re SO easy for Ben to get on himself.
Pottery Barn Kids backpack – these are the cutest and Ben is so proud to be able to wear his own backpack like such a big kid.
Hanna Andersson undies – as I mentioned, we’ve done a lot of laundry and these undies hold their shape and their super soft feel. They’ll never wear out!
Bento Boxes for lunches and snacks
Favorite toddler books include:
- How do Dinosaurs….? series
- Anything Daniel Tiger
- Gossie & Gertie
- Nursery Rhymes – it amuses me that Ben loves nursery rhymes so much because they are SO AWFUL {many of them, anyway}
- Trains Go {or planes go/diggers go…}
