In this Christmas Gift Guide, we’ll share our favourite toys from Santa’s workshop that we guarantee your little ones will love to find under the tree or in their stockings this year.
From audio players to wooden toys, to dolls, cameras and scooters, keep reading for our top toy picks for baby’s first Christmas and beyond. If they’re on the nice list this year, you must add these toys to your Christmas shopping list…
Audio Players
Audio Players make great gifts for children and are the perfect screen-free solution for long journeys or trips away to keep them entertained. They can be educational and help children to be more independent as they choose their characters and control who they want to listen to. Here at Natural Baby Shower, we have some great audio player options with a wide range of stories and familiar characters to choose from.
1. Tonies Toniebox
Tonies are designed to encourage your little one’s imagination and reduce their screen time as much as possible. The Toniebox can be used independently by your child who can enjoy stories, songs and jokes from all their favourite characters and films such as Inside Out, Paddington Bear, Peppa Pig and Frozen.
Tonies also make great collectables that they can proudly display as their collection grows. A Toniebox is a special gift that lasts many years and grows with your child. When they are really little they can listen with their favourite cartoons and Disney characters, then when they are a little older, they can learn with the National Geographic or go on adventures with Spiderman and other Marvel heroes. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Tonies have a range of festive friends that make the perfect early Christmas present or stocking filler, including Tonies Favourite Christmas Songs and Carols, The Little Reindeer’s Christmas Wish, or Elf on the Shelf.
If your little one loves Tonies as much as we do, why not get them a Tonies Advent Calendar this year, so they can discover new characters and enjoy every day Tonies fun throughout the Christmas countdown.
2. Yoto Player
The Yoto Player 3rd Generation is an innovative portable audio player that’s made for little ones with big imaginations. Your child can collect the physical smartcards and have the power to control what they listen to. The smartcards are affordable, thin and perfect for storing so wherever they go, they can take with them as many characters and stories as they want.
The Yoto has an impressive battery life that’s perfect for road trips, flights and play dates. It also has stereo sound, Bluetooth connectivity and three different play modes.
The library of listens is ever growing, and features some of the most loved children’s characters and authors such as Julia Donaldson, Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter, and a Disney collection.
