Treasure Collector
Every curious preschooler needs a basket to collect their nature treasures! Maisonette offers so many neat options from Olli Ella’s collection of natural rattan baskets — choose from a mushroom house-shaped basket for trinkets and mini dolls to a basket that can attach to a scooter or bike but also function as a backpack or shoulder bag or even a larger basket on wheels! Either way, you’ll be glad you have one during your next berry-picking, flower-picking, rock-collecting, or general nature-finding adventure.
Instant Play
Fuse emotional development + play with Swingly Doorway Storefronts! These beautifully illustrated pretend play stores transform everyday doors into vibrant, creative play spaces where kids can play and learn. The best part is you can tuck your Swingly Doorway Storefront away into a small pouch to take it anywhere or to store away for a rainy day or snow day!
Clean fun
Starting preschool means more baths throughout the week, but frequent baths and cooler weather can be rough on sensitive skin. Using Tubby Todd’s Tubby Winter Gift Set with Bath Bomb Bundle will protect your kiddo’s sensitive skin and make bath time fun! The set includes Tubby Todd’s Hair + Body Wash in Figgy Pudding, Everyday Lotion in Merry Berry, Bubble Bath in Apricot + Vanilla, and a super cute 4-pack of Snowflake Bath Bombs!
Versatile Fun
Whether you choose one slide or order all four Stairslides for a mega slide, you’ll have winter weather indoor fun covered with this gift. The slides stack together easily without taking up too much closet space and can be used on the stairs, on a couch, or as a fun add-on to a bed (with supervision)!
Quality Sound
At Puro Sound Labs they pride themselves in offering hearing protection for kids without diminishing the listening experience. Their headphones have a limited volume of 85 dB, are lightweight, and offer 35 hours of non-ANC listening time with a long charge life. Use Puro Sound Labs PuroQuiet Plus Volume Limited On-Ear Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones with a cord or wirelessly — whichever your preschooler prefers! These are great for long trips, settling down to listen to a story, and for blocking out overstimulating sounds.
Stories Anytime
With the Yoto Mini Player, your preschooler can listen to stories at home, in the car, on the airplane… anywhere! Foster your little one’s love of storytelling, reading, and learning about emotions through this Bluetooth audio device that plays stories based on the cards yo use — have your preschooler follow along with their own books, or simply listen to stories as they play.
