Moon Picnic Weather Station, $57
I’m a huge huge fan of wooden toys because they’re great for kids and the environment. Plus, classic wooden toys always look beautiful in any home. With so many wooden toys to choose from, Moon Picnic’s Weather Station stood out to me. Isn’t this the cutest tool to teach young ones about the weather? With 4 movable parts and 5 weather symbols, this interactive toy is the perfect instrument for kids to start their mornings with! It’s a little steep at almost $60, but I can foresee this being passed down from generation to generation.
Eva Chen 3, 2, 1 Awesome!: 20 Fearless Women Who Dared To Be Different Board Book, $9.99
This is a slightly bias pick because I’ve been a longtime fan of Eva Chen. I have no shame admitting I want all of her children’s books! Of all her books, THIS is the book to get regardless of your children’s gender. Unlike many typical counting books, the 3,2,1 Awesome! book also teaches kids about fearless women who dared to be different. It’s never too early to teach children about chasing their dreams.
Little Dutch Birthday Cake, $25
I bought this for my niece for her first birthday and she absolutely LOVES it. This wooden set includes 6 ready-to-cut slices of cake, removable candles (from 1-5), removable fruit and cream toppings, a cake plate and a server. I love how it comes with different age candles, which means you can basically recycle this ‘cake’ for your children’s first five years! Besides that, this wooden cake serves as a great alternative especially if you didn’t get good photos of your child and their actual birthday cake. Since this toy is for 3-year-olds and older, do keep a close watch on younger kids as some of the smaller removable parts are considered choking hazards.
The Natty Kids Face Mask, $22
I haven’t seen many kids’ face masks around so I was over the moon when I spotted these gorgeous reusable face masks made from signature Liberty London fabric. Both adults and children can use this mask because of its adjustable fastenings. Unfortunately, these masks are sold out in London but they’re still up for grabs if you’re living in Malaysia. They come in a myriad of lovely colors but my favorite has to be the sweet Summer Blossoms B Yellow print.
Bea & Bow Charlie Bear Chair, $82
Bea & Bow is well-known for making plush toys functional. I first discovered them two years ago when I purchased two unicorn plush rockers for my older nieces. They recently released plush animal chairs made of soft velvet fabric; great for kids’ story time and for when you just need them to chill. This sofa chair comes in three variations (elephant, bear and unicorn) but I guess you can already tell which is my favorite, eh?
Kid Made Modern Wooden Robot Craft Kid, $31.49
When I first stumbled upon this wooden robot kit, my initial reaction was “This is SO cool!” followed by “I WANT IT.” Well, if this 31-year-old “kid” wants it, imagine how much joy it’ll bring to actual children! The best part? No engineering degree required to assemble these wooden robots! Once your kids have assembled them, they get to customize their robots with paint and stickers. It’s time for the young ones to enjoy some good old-fashioned fun with these wooden robots with movable limbs!
Mini Micro Deluxe Foldable Scooter, $122
We gifted one of our friend’s daughter a Mini Micro last year and she was BLOWN AWAY! Although it’s on the pricier side, I personally think a scooter is worth every penny. With kids’ screen times increasing these days, a scooter is a great way to entice young ones to be outdoors in nature. We prefer the Micro brand because of its one-click folding system that makes carrying and storing the scooter a breeze. It also comes with an anodized stem, an adjustable handlebar and a 2-year warranty. Personalize one for your child today by selecting the color of the scooter, lunch bag and bell.
H&M Large Giraffe Soft Toy, $34
Now, this 1-meter tall plush giraffe is one of those whimsical gifts my heart wants for my future child. I know it doesn’t serve any purpose other than being extremely huggable. BUT. There’s just something about the giraffe’s long neck and extra short legs that make this thing so stinkin’ cute! This giraffe is going to look AMAZING in my imaginary nursery. Unfortunately, it is sold out for now but if I were you, I’ll be quick to enter my email for that back-in-stock notification!
Wonderbly Personalised Book, $29.99
Besides toys, books are my favorite things to give to young children. I remember cultivating a reading habit when I was younger because I was so captivated by the adventures written by Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl. I love these personalized books by Wonderbly because they make reading fun and exciting for kids. Check out their wide array of books suitable for kids ages 1 to 6+.
Little Dutch Kitchen in Mint, $154.54
Toy kitchens have always been a popular staple in kids’ playrooms and I completely understand why! Some of my fondest memories as a child include ‘cooking’ and ‘serving food’ to my siblings. This Little Dutch kitchen is great for so many reasons. Firstly, it comes in a beautiful (and gender-neutral!) mint shade. Secondly, this kitchen is reminiscent of an actual kitchen with an oven with a door, a shelf, a sink with a faucet, a clock, and a gas stove with two hobs. Additionally, the buttons on the gas stove and oven provide a realistic ‘click’ when turning. It also comes with handy kitchen tools like pots, oven gloves, utensils, salt, and pepper shakers. With its extra height, your little cooks can use this kitchen for several years. It’s an expensive but worthy investment!
