The texture, colors, and popping sound are great for sensory processing, which makes them quite entertaining to babies as they stimulate the senses. They are soft and BPA-free, so giving them to your baby wouldn’t pose any risk.

They pretty much suction to any hard surfaces such as chairs, tables, windows, and more— enabling you to keep your little one mentally stimulated and at ease wherever you are.

It must also be made from non-toxic materials, as kids love to chew on them.

A squishy texture your little ones can’t resist. This soft, adorable tiny book featuring a myriad of colored animal pictures will keep them entertained when out and about. It has a velcro loop, which makes it easier to hang from anywhere, such as your baby’s stroller, a chair, or a bag–making it super convenient and accessible to your baby when you’re out together at a restaurant, park, or wherever you travel.

Kids also love flipping through the pages, and they’re totally smitten with the tails attached to the book, grabbing and chewing it for hours on end.

Kids have a thing for tags. An animal toy that is not only soft and plushy, but it also has lots of tags on the edges with varying prints, colors, and textures.
