Melissa and Doug Play Purse

I adore Melissa and Doug products. The quality is amazing and the prices are totally reasonable. One of my favorite products that my little girl loves is the Pretty Purse Fill and Spill. This great plastic and cloth purse comes with a play cell phone, a key ring, change purse and a compact with a child safe mirror. These objects provide great opportunities for imaginary play!

The great thing about this toy is also how long it has entertained my little one. She received this as a gift when she was 1 and at almost 2 she still plays with it all the time. I don’t see her losing interest in it anytime soon!

Do you have a small space but want a play kitchen for your little one?

Check out this adorable mini kitchen by Step 2.  The perfect toy for a small space. This kitchen is also great for younger toddlers and babies because it is very low to the ground which allows it to be easily accessed by little ones.

This fun and entertaining toy includes a shape-sorting refrigerator door and a drop-down sink that helps children work on their sorting skills. It also includes a can, frying plan, egg, cheese, milk, orange and apple. These accessories allow for great imaginary play.

My favorite part is the peek-a-boo window that is always a hit with my little girl! Guaranteed hours of fun for you and your baby!

Chevron Rug- Yes please!!

Chevron is so popular right now and it makes sense because it is cute! I love everything chevron and just found this amazing chevron rug from Pottery Barn Kids. It is available in pink, blue and gray and is also available in three sizes (3×5, 5×8 and 8×10).

This rug is made of wool and is soft and plush when you walk on it, perfect for babies and toddlers.

Legos!

My husband loves Legos. Probably more then our child but we are working on it. We had those big pink Legos and those were great but we wanted to move to a smaller size and didn’t feel the need to only have pink/purple Legos in our house.

When searching online I found these great Lego Duplo Read & Build Sets. What I love about these sets is that they come with a book that you read as you build. The one we started with was the Grow Caterpillar Grow! story. As you read you get to build the different insects that are mentioned in the book. It really makes building with the Legos even more engaging!

Did you like building with Legos when you were little?

Family tree decal sticker for the baby’s room – in pink, blue and yellow

Have family that lives far away from your baby? Want to keep them near and dear to your babies heart? Consider this family tree decal — cute, adorable, and an opportunity to add more family photos to the room.

I love the pinks, blues, yellows, greens and browns in this version. Also, who could resist that mama and baby owl!

In our nursery we plan to add family photos to limbs and have a real old-fashioned family tree for the baby to admire! You can use sticker frames such as below to put up the family pictures:


We can’t decide if we should use photos we have already, or take new photos whenever someone comes to visit us. Polaroids could be a very fun solution here.

Let us know what you think — do you have something similar in your nursery? Send us a pic!

All the best,
