5 Best Valentines Toys for Toddlers

Loving Toys for Tots

Valentines is just around the corner and we are all taking the time to look for the best way to tell our loved ones that we love them. I know that Valentines is  for lovers and with all the romance in the air we tend to think only about our other half ; but I say – why not use this time to show our little ones how much we love them too?! besides, if you ask my husband, he will tell you that this little 2 and a half  brat already took his place as the main man in my heart and therefore rules apply to him as well, don’t they?

so let’s get to business and find some cute gifts that can make your toddler feel loved:
1. Board Book: “I love you through and through”

I Love You Through And Through

This adorable book is not only full with love and great for cuddling with your toddler, it is also educational as it teaches your toddler about body parts. It is a great trigger for fun activities and has beautiful illustrations that your toddler can relate to.

2. Easy Instant Decoration Wall Sticker Decal – I Love You

This cute sticker can be used as a permanent reminder of  your love. The first and last thing your little one sees every day can be your message of love as well as a great decoration for the room.

3. My “Little” Beating Heart, the Soothing Heartbeat You Can Feel.

My "Little" Beating Heart, the Soothing Heartbeat You Can Feel.

This soft and soothing original gift is great for giving your child a relaxing cuddling experience and for expressing your love on the same time. Chances are  you will feel the need to borrow this toy from your child once in a while after a stressful day as it has an amazing comforting and calming affect. It is available in a variety of beautiful colors.

I Love You Bean

4.  I Love You”  Bean

This is a great gift that sends a message of love and holds an educational value as well. This  bean holds a secret message that is revealed shortly after the bean sprouts (it takes 3-5 days). You can use this opportunity to teach your child about how plants grow in nature:  just add some water, sun and love and soon enough the “I love you” message will appear on the growing plant.

OK, I know this is not a cheap one but I just love the design and the quality of this product. This cute pram is so sweet and cuddly that I couldn’t resist displaying it here. This is an educational toy that can stay with your child for a long time and can become one of her favorites. It is a great trigger for imaginary games and role play and can assist you in preparing a child for a new sibling. And did I mention I think it’s adorable?

Whatever you decide on giving your child this Valentine’s, the best gift you can give him is letting him know that he is loved and treasured all year long.  Happy Valentine’s!!!

Classic toys for tots…

Why Toys for toddlers ?

If you would have told me a few years ago that I would be so passionate about toys for toddlers I would have probably raised an eyebrow in return.  It is amazing to discover how with the arrival of your firstborn, you naturally and instantly dive back into your own childhood and old passions find their way back to surface…

I was always a tom-boy kind of gal, not really into dolls and wearing my mom’s makeup and heels (and she is still complaining to this day about the disappointment of finally having a girl after two boys who didn’t want to be a girl…) My favorite toys included: cars, marbles, Lego, animal toys and of course, anything I could climb.  So now that I have a very active first boy who is very (very…) passionate about anything with wheels I have rediscovered my enthusiasm for Toddlers toys;  and since I often (a little bit too often if you ask my husband) find myself going on (and off) line to look for new and exiting toys for my son, I made up my mind to start a blog in which I will share our experiences with toys, helpful information and some cool ideas for toys all appropriate for the magical toddler years… I believe Toddler-hood is an amazing time!! This little explorers’ active interest in the world, and their many expressions of their endless excitement with it’s new discoveries can be very contagious…

I must confess,though, that I am a nostalgic kind of person and I tend to go with toys that bring me back to the time I grew up in, when everything was much simpler. You will probably not find here computer games, DVD’s, electronic toys and the like unless it has some meaningful value.  I strongly believe in toys that one can touch and interact with and less with toys that put the child in a passive position…There is a whole world out there to explore – live and in 3D – why stick to the box?

So for those of you who would like to join me on this journey in the world of Classic toys for tots I hope to be able to bring valuable info or at least some enjoyable posts from time to time…

Until the next post…
