I wouldn’t go as far as to say these toys for babies are essential, but I will say our kids absolutely loved each of these.
This list is geared toward babies from birth to 24 months, but I can tell you that our 3 year old still finds new ways to play with some of these, still!
Some of these toys can also be found in our 18 Awesome Bath Toys for Babies and Toddlers.

The Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Musical Toy has been used so many times by our kids over the past 3 years, and I’m positive I’ve still yet to change the battery in it. It has 7 classical melodies and lights up as it plays. It’s the perfect size for little hands to hold, and has been a life saver for us during car rides. Check it out!
Contains 8 brightly colored cups which are perfect for stacking, fitting together, and clapping together. These cups are also great for bath time and have unique holes on the bottom allowing water to flow through them.
This cute penguin comes in blue or pink. Just wind up the wings and watch it actually swim through the water!
Perfect toy for a teething baby who loves to grab and hold things, too! The middle rattles when you shake it and the continuous tubes make it easy to grab.
The Kick and Play Piano Gym comes in pink or green. We love how the pad keeps the piano from being kicked away and doubles as a baby blanket, so when you’re on the go you can set your baby on the floor, without him actually being on the floor. Comes with removable hanging toys and mirror. Plays music when the piano keys are kicked.
We love our soft cloth books! We always have one in our travel backpack and baby loved looking at these in the car and at home. No need to worry about torn pages with these, and the books have crinkle paper for more sounds and textures. They’re awesome!
Jellycat makes some of the cutest stuffed animals for babies! We have this bashful bunny and it is the favorite of our 3-year-old. It’s says spot clean only, but we’ve put ours through the gentle cycle multiple times and it still looks like new! It’s well made, durable and sure to be a favorite in any home!
If you like gifts that are cute AND practical, check out these fun toothbrushes from Baby Banana. We love the banana teether/toothbrush, but they also have some really cute corn on the cob, shark, and dragon versions, too!
Every time our girls go over to their Grandma’s house, this is the toy the want to play with! It’s a classic for a reason. There are so many ways to play and interact with colors, numbers, animals, and shapes! We love it!
Check out these super soft, beautifully colored blocks. They squeak and are safe to chew, too! Everyone should have some set of blocks. These are the ones we love!
The Sophie the Giraffe Baby Toy has been loved by teething babies for over 55 years! Sophie is soft and has numerous chew parts which make her perfect for a teething baby! She also makes a cute squeaking noise when pressed that had our babies giggling and giggling!
This one is awesome. It combines the classic hammer toys with a xylophone so each ball that is pushed down slides down the xylophone (which is also removable). It’s brightly colored and durable.
This is like the classic ring stacking toy, only so much more fun!!! Each “ring” that you place follows the corkscrew track and starts rapidly spinning on its way down. It’s truly mesmerizing and has kept my kids entertained for hours when they were babies, and as they’ve gotten older, too!
I hope there was a least one thing in this list of toys for baby that you really liked!
