Holiday Gift Guide for Your Toddler

We know that shopping for kids isn’t always easy. If it were up to them, they’d own every single thing that lights up or makes noise, and the house would soon turn into a toy graveyard full of stuff that they played with once, then never touched again. While it’s nice to give in once in a while to bring a smile to your child’s face, we also know that a lot of play items out there just create waste and add to an ever-worsening environmental crisis. We’re big believers in products that are high-quality, safe for littles, and made to last. Toys should be more than just fun or cute—they should be open-ended to encourage creativity and they should grow with your little ones. We’ve come up with the ultimate gift guide for your toddler with thoughtful picks that are sure to make this holiday season the most magical yet.
