When you have babies and young children the temptation to spend a huge amount of money on them is massive, yet the truth is they don’t understand what is going on and would be perfectly happy with a ball of screwed up wrapping paper and an empty box to bash.
But, a baby’s first Christmas is a magical milestone for the whole family. They may be too young to understand exactly what’s happening, but a gift to mark the occasion can be treasured for years to come.
In time for Christmas, Kiddicare is proud to reveal a brand new and exclusive range of toys for children from birth to five. For even the tiniest of babies, there’s teddies, play gyms, puzzles, books and motion toys to encourage your little one’s development and create childhood memories. And with 3 for 2* on all toys in Kiddicare’s Buzzing Brains, Sunny Safari and Woodland ranges, Kiddicare has your baby’s first Christmas gifts wrapped up.
Sarah Lafarge, shopping editor at the UK’s leading parenting magazine Mother&Baby, offers these tips for choosing a first Christmas gift:
- Toys such as baby gyms develop early motor skills and hand eye coordination.
- Simple puzzles encourage problem solving as babies reach the six month mark.
- Toys that are interesting to touch or that make repetitive sounds will be a hit – baby’s love music and singing to them can help develop communication skills.
- It’s never too early to introduce books. Picture books make brilliant first gifts.
To help make Christmas shopping for the newest member of the family easier, baby expert Kiddicare offers a selection of fantastic ideas, from stocking stuffers to keepsakes.
- Press n Go Bunny, RRP 7.99, 6 months+
This bunny will get little ones mobile as they try to keep up with their new friend. Press the buttons for movement and music. Simple, repetitive – a sure fire hit!
- Sunny Safari Activity Elephant, RRP £12.99, from birth
Baby’s new best friend! He’s made with brightly coloured fabric, and includes lots of different textures and activities to explore such as crinkle ears, wiggle flower, teether, squeaker, mirror and rattle rings.
- My First Shape Puzzle, RRP £6.99, 6 months+
- Kiddicare Hedgehog Gift Set, £12.99, from birth
Keep your child warm and looking adorable this winter, with this beautiful woodland inspired gift set including a pair of hedgehog booties and a bandana style bib. The perfect stocking filler for a newborn.
- Kiddicare Musical Light-Up Owl, £12.99, from birth
Soft to the touch and enchanting to listen to, this gorgeous owl plays the classic Brahm’s lullaby. Attach it to your baby’s buggy or moses basket and let them dream a little dream.
- Buzzing Brains Grow-With-Me-Melody Gym, RRP £24.99, 3 months+
Designed to encourage three stages of development – laying, sitting and standing – this clever gym adapts to keep little ones playing and learning as they grow. Lots of repositionable toys to touch; light up moon and stars to stimulate the senses; buttons to press rattles and rollers to pin and shake all included.
- Sunny Safari Jumbo Playmat, RRP £29.99, from birth
This extra large, luxurious play mat includes different textures, bright colours and friendly safari character faces with tails to grab and manes to stroke.
