2021 Baby and Toddler Gift Guide

Baby and Toddler Christmas Gift Guide Gift Ideas

From educational toys and montessori must haves to baby essentials and eco friendly gifts, we've rounded up the best Christmas Gift Ideas for Babies and Toddlers this year with gifts to suit every budget.

Montessori Christmas Gift Ideas 2021

Montesorri must haves 
We are in the process of setting up a playroom at our house and the Monti&Me toys we have in there are 100000% my fave! Beautiful to look at and designed to help your little one learn, Jayne has done all of the hardwork for you, simplifying the neuroscience and sourcing toys designed to help your little one grow. 

Monti&Me's playsets are a great Christmas gift as they're available in Birth+, 4 month+, 7 month+, 11 month+ and toddler age ranges and come with a variety of toys - or you can pick and choose what individual items you like. 

In our playroom, we have the Self Standing Black and White Contrast Cards ($19), Rainbow Peg People Set ($49), Rainbow Sensory Ball (on sale for $27!) and Wooden Maracas ($19) but there is so much to choose from!

High Chair Food Catcher Toddler Christmas Gift Ideas 2021

A gift Mum will LOVE!
Toddlers are messy eaters, there's no doubting that. As a Mum of three little boys, Michelle of Mumma's Little Helpers designed her award winning high chair food catchers to make mealtimes easier and less of a mess.

The velcro fasteners attach to most high chairs and are wide enough to catch all of the mess, meaning you just have to empty them and wipe them down at the end of the meal. They also have a great food catcher and feeding starter kit that is perfect for little eaters as it comes with a food catcher in the print of your choice, catcher bib, bowl, easy grip flexi spoon, suction plate and easy grip cutlery set. 

Eco Friendly Christmas Gift Ideas for Babies.

Eco friendly essentials
I love Munch Cupboard's eco friendly range - and they have some perfect eco friendly gift ideas for Christmas. Our top picks? The Butterfly Teething Toy (a great stocking stuffer!), Baby Feeder (great for little ones starting solids!) and the Silicon Baby Bowl with Spoon and Suction Base. The perfect eco friendly gifts that will actually get used!

I also have my eye on the Wooden Bracelet Teething Toy for our little guy as it's free from all nasties and perfectly safe!

This Years Best Toddler Toys for Christmas 2021

Toys that toddlers will love!
There are so many great toys available for toddlers this year - but we've rounded up a few of our faves!

The Toot Toot 2 in 1 Dino Park (available at Kmart and Big W) will provide hours of fun with the truck that transforms into an awesome dino play set. Featuring three imaginative play modes and multiple play areas to explore and discover, they can launch the net, feed the dinosaurs, push the truck and more.

For the Go! Go! Cory Carson lovers, O'Tool's Construction Site Playset is sure to be a hit. They can blow the whistle, build and knock down walls and play with their favourite characters and also connect the playset to the other Go! Go! Cory Carson playsets.

For the budding chef, the Chopping Fun Learning Pot is a must. Available at Target, this toy encourages role play and imaginative play as the pot "boils" with pretend water and teaches numbers and colours through play.

If your little one loves nothing more than setting up their own shop (or helping with the shopping in person), the Count Along Basket and Scanner will definitely be a winner. Filled with play food, shopping lists and an interactive scanner, kids can carry their basket or roll it along as the interactive play mode teaches them colours, numbers, shapes and groups as it asks them to scan certain items. 

Got a musical little one on your list? Leapfrog's Learn & Groove Thumpin' Numbers Drum will be a hit in more ways than one! This fun bilingual toy is perfect for little ones aged 6+ months as it teaches them colours, numbers and music styles in both English and Spanish.

Their First Gift Set - Christmas Gift Ideas for Babies

Their first gift set
We love VTech for baby and toddler toys and the VTech Baby My First Gift Set is such a great idea for babies this Christmas. Available in blue or pink, this set comes with a soft hippo teether, rattle, mirror and piano that you can take on the go with you.

Find it at Kmart for $35 in Blue or Pink.

Best Sound Machine for Babies - Christmas Gift Ideas for Newborns

The gift of quiet!
For many parents of newborns, a silent night is not a thing - but it could be! 

The Baby Shusher would be a great gift idea for new parents and babies this year. Designed to break a baby's crying spell by engaging their natural calming reflex, the rhythmic shushing will settle your babe and send them off to sleep. Better still? It's portable and run using only batteries so you can use it in the car, pram or nursery!

Find it on Amazon and Amazon Australia with free shipping.

Best Plush Toys for Christmas

Something to snuggle
I'm a sucker for a cute plush toy and always think they make great Christmas gifts. If you're looking for the softest, snuggliest plushes, look no further than the Toby Dog (available in three colours!) or Gund Fuzzy Bear from Latest Buy.

Sensory Play Ideas for Toddlers Christmas Gift Ideas Montessori

Learn through play!
This is a gift for Mum and Dad (or the little ones carer!) that will keep on giving! Casey from Little Lifelong Learners has put together Sensory Play for Toddlers and Preschoolers and it's such a great resource.

Full of fun sensory play ideas, this book will inspire you with play and learning opportunities for years to come!

Buy it on Amazon and Amazon Australia with free shipping.

Stocking Stuffers for Toddlers

Bath time fun  
Looking for a stocking stuffer that's a little bit different? We love Child's Farm's products as they're perfect for sensitive skin with 96% natural ingredients. Available at Coles, Woolworths and Big W, their bubble bath and body wash range is full of fun scents that kids will love - and they have some great gift sets for Christmas!
