From as young as 18 months, our son and daughter have been fascinated by Russian Nesting Dolls. We highly recommend them for any grandchild, as they truly are ageless. Authentic Russian dolls are also timeless, never seeming to go out of style — and they’ll fit in with almost any home or room decor. Toddlers and preschoolers will love mastering the art of nesting, while also playing with and arranging the dolls independently. You can’t go wrong with this classic gift!

Pin Art Toy: Kid Tested & Not Just for Desktops!

Large Pin Art

$21.99 at Amazon.com

Whenever you find a handful of girls and boys fighting over a single toy, you know there’s something to it. In our case, it was this large pin art toy, usually sold in its smaller version as a desktop boredom fighter. Discovered at a friend’s house, this toy had our children totally “engaged,” and then, pleading for their very own for days. Why? Well, it IS strangely alluring, whatever your age. First, the cool (but not sharp) metal pins just “feel good” on your skin. And you really can be creative — with hands, feet, face, and other objects, as you instantly whip up a topographical image of those objects. We think this larger size model is helpful, so parents can also make silly creations with larger hands, etc. And we even noticed our daughter manage to get both little feet in the mix, something she wouldn’t be able to do with the smaller models. Whatever size you decide on, this toy is sure to stimulate.

A Breath of Fresh Air with HABA Dream Meadow Baby Play Gym

HABA Dream Meadow

$149.99 at Amazon.com

There’s only so much you can do with a baby play gym… or so we thought! Well, we took in a big breath of fresh air from this outdoor Dream Meadow design by HABA. It includes lovely and lively colors, engaging toys to swat and grasp, as well as sensory-stimulating sounds we’d likely hear in a meadow. What’s especially nice about this design is that the side flaps can be turned up to transform the gym mat into a little bed or changer — great for when babies are still too little for a playpen-style crib. Certainly makes it easier for baby to snuggle up at Grandma’s!
