The holidays are fast approaching and with just a little while to get gifts, why not start with your favorite littlest? From 6 to 12 months can be a tough age to buy for, especially if your little one puts everything in their mouth. So with countless awesome toys, where do you begin to find safe gifts for that little chomper? Below are a few options that are sure to catch your attention and draw smiles from them as well.

In addition to beginning to chew on things, babies between 6 and 12 months are learning at a rapid pace. Encourage their learning with bright colors, touch and feel books, and fun shapes.

One such product that encourages colors, sounds, and shapes for your teether is the One Two Squeeze Baby Blocks by B. toys.  These soft, BPA-free, colorful, squares are sturdy enough to stack but soft enough to chew on and they even squeak! Let them make their own discovery of how to stack them and how to make them squeak and watch them get excited to learn.

Another favorite among parents for this age range is the Vtech Pull and Sing Puppy. This adorable Dalmatian puppy has a flashing nose, three interactive buttons for encouraging speech, and a string to pull him for gross motor skills. This puppy will grow with your baby as they discover how to walk and talk.
