Baby + Kid Holiday Gift Ideas

Here's how we picked items on the below list:

1. They must inspire the child to think creatively + promote the use of imagination.

2. Limit toys with batteries

3. Toys that make them move. 

4. Quality over quantity.  They don't need a ton of toys - just a couple good, quality ones.

5. Products should be durable enough for you kid to play.
