The Ultimate Kids Gift Ideas - Baby Gifts
We have a new series with amazing Gift Ideas for Kids. Great for Christmas or Birthday Presents - or just because!
This collection of gift ideas will keep kids busy, developing and having fun! Remember that play is a really important part of your child’s life and builds the foundation for not only their physical development but also emotional and social development. Independent play time is really valuable and important to build into your child’s day. And it's important for you too!
Babies change so much in such a short space of time. And aside from lots of loving cuddles from mum and dad they don't ask for much :)
At this time, the Key areas of development are: Senses, Fine Motor Skills, Gross Motor Skills, Social & Emotional Connections, Cognition, Language & Communication. As they get past the 6month mark, Cause & Effect, Eye – Hand Coordination, Balance & Strength, Problem Solving also start to become important. That's a lot - makes us adults seem pretty lazy. There are lost of different options for you to support your little newbie.

ZAZU Plush Comforter Heartbeat and White Noise Baby Toy
I love these. They are amazing and they last forever. Even when they move on from using them for the white noise, they they just love the soft toy. I bought the doggy – Dex – for my little one when we were going through a very unsettled period. My favourite part is that it switches on by itself when she starts to cry. When she is away from home, rather than taking the whole animal, I just take out the sound module/machine and just have that with us. It's really convenient. The details – Zazu is a range of three animal soothers that calm babies with a range of sounds and melodies. Super soft to touch, very cuddly.
