... an order within the hour and would appreciate your advice.
I have sent several board books, and the young family has been showered with lots of clothing and practical items. They have zero play things.
Thanks!

We had a colorful toy that had different textures and textures. Both kids liked to chew on it. Let me see if I can find something similar... ETA: This one
I found the actual one that we had! DS loved the ball with nubbies on it to chew. This set is cute! |

Both of my boys loved this Skwish toy--it was easy to hold on to because of the strings, but fun to chew on because of the knobs. |

Nothing in my house saw more action than a simple set of nesting/stacking cups.

My son is seven weeks old and “plays” with this play mat and a mirror most often.

malibou - our nesting/stacking cups got tons of use in and out of the tub! Thanks for the reminder. @padresfan619 - I know they don't play too much just yet. May I ask which activity mat you have?

We have a Sassy brand play mat, I like it because the bottom part can detach and get thrown in the wash since he almost always spits up during tummy time. |

He is sleeping 7 hour stretches during his first part of the night and getting more talkative and smiley during the day. It really is amazing, I’m very lucky to be his mom! |

My young babies liked the red/white/black contrasting stuff - Manhattan toy company is a good brand.

Young babies require high contrast for visual stimulation and Manhattan Toy Company rocks at this. I've given their Wimmer Ferguson learning cube several times to new parents and it has always been a hit! High contrast, interactive elements, mirror, tags to hold on to/nibble on, it's got everything.  |

I love the Fisher Price Linkimals series. The animals all link together and sing songs together!

For the really little ones, Sophie the Giraffe is always popular for a teething toy, unfortunately our dog really liked it too and made quick work of it! The thing(s) that were most enduring for my kid was her Pacimals which is similar to a Wubbanub, a little stuffed animal with an attached pacifier.
I don’t think the Pacimals brand are available anymore which is a shame, because I really liked how the pacifiers detached for washing both the pacifier and the stuffed toy. We ended up getting two identical toys so they could be interchanged and in case one ever accidentally got lost, which thankfully never happened. Those were her all time favorites and still stay in her bed with her every night almost 11 years later (I did take the pacifier connector pieces off of the toys when she was about 3 though, so now they’re just small stuffies).

My nephew and his wife are having a daughter, that they are naming in my honour, and the nursery is elephant themed. Off to order! ETA Rats, it's out of stock. It does sound like it will be coming back. |

They have zero play things. Missed the deadline but I cannot say enough about Glo Worm and Fisher Price Seahorse. Both play lullabys but the Fisher Price one is much quieter. My DGD has both and at age 2 she still likes her Glo Worm because she can turn it off and on herself. But as a newborn the sounds were so soothing and she liked to hold it. |
