The first toys you select for your baby will initially only be props...all baby wants is mama for what seems like a long time. But when your baby starts to awaken to the world around him or her, it’s great to have some ultra-safe, soft, and lovely toys at the ready. Make tummy time yummier with an organic play mat, and hang a sweetly engaging mobile to catch the eye. You can take your pick from the plethora of organic cotton and naturally finished wood rattles, instead of being limited to phthalate-laden plastic ones of days gone by. The gentle items listed below aim to preserve the calm, soothing nature of the womb, while ably supporting your growing baby’s development... and eliciting some of his or her first smiles.
