What Should You Get For Baby’s First Christmas?
A baby’s first year is full of many special firsts – from special occasions to moments – and there’s something extra magical when it comes to a baby’s first Christmas. When shopping for baby’s first Christmas gift, parents usually look for something that is:
- Safe: Babies love to put everything in their mouths to learn about the world around them. As a general safety rule to avoid choking, toys or objects given to babies should be at least 1¼" (3 centimeters) in diameter and 2¼" (6 centimeters) in length.
- Developmentally appropriate: Babies grow so much in the first year and toys or activities can help them learn about the world and grow their brains. For example, touch-and-feel books engage a baby, help them develop vocabulary, and create better sensory awareness.
- Long-lasting: Toys, books, or clothing items that can grow with the baby can help parents keep their babies busy and reduce their environmental impact.
