Essentials

Sprout

With this crate, your child will practice key fine-motor and prewriting skills through creative play.

Practice grasping and foster creativity with six crayons specifically designed for little hands.

Your child can build finger strength by rolling and snipping playdough into different shapes to fill up the two bears’ bellies. 

Paint water onto the mat to reveal colorful pictures, then flip it over to trace stencils and talk about emotions together.

Over 20 pages of research-backed guidance, development milestones, and activities to try at home. 

The three flexible tunnels can be stood up, crawled through, and connected with toggles to fit any child’s place space.

Join a little woodpecker who can’t stop pecking holes wherever he goes.

Space Search

Explore learning that's out of this world, with this space-themed Koala crate! Make a sensory box full of felt shapes (like rockets and stars), and learn about space through tactile play. Then decorate your crate using planet stickers you paint yourself.

Let's Count!

En Español

With this crate, your toddler will build early math and logic skills with sorting and matching puzzles.

Connect textures and shapes to numbers with 10 tactile counting cards.

Toddlers can practice spatial awareness by identifying three shapes and nesting the nine pieces together.

Toddlers can practice their fine motor skills by placing four cylinders into a toddler-sized puzzle base.

Count the bumps or holes on each numbered cup before stacking them up tall or playing with them in the bath.

Drop tokens into the slot on top and open three doors (or peek through a window) for “Let’s do it again!” play.

This ring puzzle has six mini puzzles to encourage problem-solving and proud toddler “I did it!” moments.

From radishes to raindrops, follow along to count from 1 to 1,000.

When it comes to nailing number skills, repetition is key. Fortunately, toddlers love repetition. So try familiar counting rhymes or songs — music and math make an irresistible
combination!

Your kid is a born scientist. And seeing how objects move and fit into space takes up much of their play time, er, scientific inquiry. Support their curiosity with plenty of gozinto” games, as in: Can this go into that?

Your toddler is busy figuring out how the world works — through play. Problem-solving toys like nesting boxes, stacking rings, and puzzles provide them with age-appropriate challenges to try and try again until . . . bingo! They’ve got it.

Most kids aren’t ready to start matching and sorting on their own until after they turn 2. But pointing out things that are the same and different — like how people walk on two legs and dogs walk on four — helps your child make the connection for these foundational math skills.

Young toddlers can begin dividing things by same and different — a foundational math skill. You can help them by naming the shapes and colors of things: Your plate is round. That giraffe is yellow. This orange is . . . orange. (Sorry, baby, it can get confusing!)

Your toddler needs to hone their hand muscles for all sorts of everyday activities that will come later on, from writing to playing sports. To strengthen their grasping skills, try a game of two legs/four legs, where you pile up stuffies and ask your child to pick out the ones with two legs and the ones with four.

It’s tempting to explain everything to your toddler, but try asking them why questions instead. For instance, Why doesn’t this piece fit into the slot? Even if they don’t have the words to answer (yet), this encourages your child to be curious and lead with wonder.

Placing one block on top of another seems simple. But as your toddler figures out the best way to balance an object and prevent it from toppling, they’re stretching their hand muscles and their brain in one go. Try upping their game by encouraging even more problem-solving. Can you make another shape with
these blocks?

Let's Chat!

Panda 2.0

With this crate, your baby will practice their language skills and start to develop spatial awareness.

Your baby can explore how the trailer and tractor connect before playing make-believe and taking the wood animals for a spin.

Practice identifying different species as your baby stacks and balances three wooden animals.

Cute critters let your baby play peekaboo and hide-and-seek (while building spatial awareness).

Encourage early language development by mimicking each animal’s sound and matching them to one of six pictures.

Over 20 pages of research-backed guidance, development milestones, and activities to try at home.

A four-sided pyramid makes sensory activities accessible for your baby whether they’re tackling tummy time or sitting up.

See how animals say hello to each other with this rhyming book.

Learning to speak is a complex process. First, your baby practices shaping out sounds (like blowing raspberries). Next up is babbling (from pa, ba to a-ga, ba-ba). Words and sentences follow, and soon enough it’s, Mom, can I have the car keys?

Your baby’s brain is a remarkable input-output system. In go words and sounds, and out comes . . . babbling, or what experts call “baby jargon.” This preverbal speech mimics real words and is a sign they’re actively listening. So keep those words, songs, and silly sounds coming!

Recent studies have found that language and fine motor skills are closely linked. By talking to your baby about their activities and play (Hooray! You fit the ring on the peg!), you can strengthen their speech and movement skills. A win-win!

Child-initiated pretend play won’t kick in until after 12 months. Until then, engaging your baby in pre-pretend play lays the groundwork for toddler-age make-believe. At this stage, imaginary play is all about imitation. So now’s the time to pull out your funniest sounds and faces. Just watch as your baby tries to copy your comic routines. Hey, imitation is a form of flattery (and a friend of learning).

Back when your baby was an even smaller baby, they wouldn’t look for toys when they dropped them. (Out of sight, out of mind!) But now they’re learning that things still exist even when they can’t see or hear them. Try a game of peekaboo to strengthen those object permanence skills — crucial for advanced reasoning, memory, and language.

It takes a lot of baby brain power to figure out how things work. Talking through their actions (Wow! You made your car move!) helps strengthen their sense of how their body relates to other objects in space.

Most babies can’t stack and balance objects on their own until about 18 months. Until then, showing your baby how objects can (or can’t) balance on top of each other lays the foundation for building with blocks — one of the best ways to develop logic and reasoning.

In their first year, your baby is learning the joys of cause and effect and how to do things to make other things happen! Verbalizing their efforts helps encourage them to keep exploring and experimenting. When you pushed the ball, it rolled! Let’s do it again. Repetition is key because it reinforces learning and gives them the joy of understanding causality.
