Have a 1st Birthday party to go to, or need a gift for the toddler in your life?

The Zany Zoo by B. Toys is my GO-TO 1st (or 2nd or 3rd) Birthday Gift! :)

The “Zoo” is  a wooden toy that features tons of toddler - friendly activities.  It will keep them occupied (I wanted to say for hours - but lets be real here) for 15-20 mins (which is basically an hour in toddler time)! :)

Each side features a different activity (abc flip blocks, peek-a-boo animals) while the top of the zoo has a loopty-loo track with beads. 

It retails for $54.99 at Target:

This re-usable placemat was given to me when my son was born and it sat in a closet until a few months ago.  I used to buy the throw-away placemats for our dining adventures - until the day I ran out of them and did not feel like spending $10 for a new pack! 

The TinyDiner placemat by Summer Infant is now a product I cannot leave the house without - and here’s why:

- Suction cups keep the mat in place (my son used to be able to pull off the disposable ones).

- Waterproof and Easy to Clean

- Made in the USA -from BPA-Free, non-latex material

- Rolls up and is very easy to carry.

SO - this might not be the ideal gift for a new mommy, but I definitely suggest it for the mommy of a toddler! It comes in three different colors: Pink, Blue, and Green, and retails for $10.99
