Watching your child develop and grow is one of the greatest rewards of parenthood. Seeing them easily do something that they once struggled with is not just a milestone for them, but for you too! To facilitate the development of their mind and emerging abilities, all you need is the right tool and you can check out some of them right here!
The Ring Stack
Now this toy is really more that it seems and, while simple, there's a reason it's still around. Chunky rings with a variety of colors, weights, and textures are exactly what baby needs to develop those fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination that will be critical throughout their lives. These are also safe for chewing and mouthing, so baby can engage multiple senses as they investigate this toy.
Quiet Busy Books
Are you looking for something portable that will still stimulate your child's mind? These Quiet Busy Books from Hooray Heroes are a lifesaver for any busy parent!
Stimulating your child's fine motor skills and creativity is just the beginning. Depending on the book you select, children will also get lessons in color matching, numbers, animals, household chores and more! This quiet playtime also encourages the imagination without overstimulation or screentime.
With a variety of options to choose from and the option to personalize yours with your son or daughter's name, it's not hard to find something they will love!

Shape Sorting Toys
This carefully constructed wooden box is multi-faceted as far as learning opportunities are concerned. From tweaking fine motor skills to learning shapes and colors, this toy is a simple way to introduce a problem solving activity to your child's daily life and teach them to handle the occasion frustration that comes with critical thinking.
A Busy Board
Does your kiddo need something to keep their little hands busy? Well this busy board is a great way to build dexterity as they navigate hooks, snaps, and latches that click and slide. The lovely colorful design makes it even more engaging, so if the clicking and snapping of hooks and snaps doesn't bother you, this could be a fun way to get those little fingers working!
Puzzles
A simple solution? Yes. A clever solution? Also yes! Puzzles are a wonderful, quiet activity that any child can do on their own as long as the puzzle type is age-appropriate. With tons of adorable options out there, you can teach your kids about nearly any topic! Don't miss out on our personalized puzzles - they're super cute and fun for the whole family!
Blocks
This classic children's toy is one that never goes out of style. Probably because it's such a well-rounded one for kids of all ages! Though our little ones will likely just investigate their texture and shape, older kids will begin to stack and build with them. A little older than that and they'll be building more intentionally, replicating structures they see every day. What does that mean? That it's a gift that will hold their interest for years!
Bead Maze
Remember these? Of course you do! With wooden beads and plastic rings that slide and spin, bead mazes engage even the tiniest of tots with their bright colors and fun shapes. But did you know that they also encourage baby's general sensory skills, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination all at once? Well, now you know!
