What would you choose?
DS will be 6 months at Christmas and I’ve got him a wooden music box, Christmas Box and Baby’s First Christmas bauble, plus a pop up book of Twas the Night Before Christmas and the illustrated version of the first Harry Potter book. Clearly these are for the long term and I hope they will be used for years to come. It’s what I wanted to do to mark his first Christmas.
However - there are many friends and family members who have been asking what to get him and I just don’t know! We get things as and when he is ready so play gym, bouncer and play nest are all set, plus he was given lots of rattley and cuddly toys when he was born which have been steadily coming out the cupboard as he is more able to engage with them.
I don’t want a house full of unused items if I can avoid it so I would like to know what you all found the most well used and loved toys for your babies, maybe up to one year? And what was a waste of space and money?
