Virtually everyone has heard the saying: April showers bring
May flowers! Of course, this old aphorism is meant to imply that the rains that
we often experience in April will give way to a beautiful May, which will in
turn provide the beginning of a wonderful summer.
We would like to celebrate the
other showers that often take place in April, and which lead to the
start of a brand new life for a set of happy parents:
baby showers! Many of us have friends who may be expecting a
newborn this year, and are hosting baby showers to celebrate the child’s
arrival.
A baby shower is a magnificent event for all involved; and,
as such, it is always a nice gesture to show up with a gift in hand. The
following is a short list of
baby shower
gifts
to ensure you bring a smile to the expecting mother’s face.
Sensory Shapes
Within their very first months of life, newborns begin to
develop each of their senses through interacting with the outside world. By seeing,
smelling, touching, tasting, and feeling, the newborns will quickly adapt to
their surroundings and further develop each of these five senses.
You can, however, facilitate this process through the use of
toys that stimulate these senses. So this April, show up to a baby shower with
the
SensoryShapes baby shower gift from Imagine Toys®. This delightful baby shower gift idea comes with six
different small shapes and two large shapes that come in bright colors and
knobby surfaces. These
sensory toys
refine fine and gross motor skills and promote tactile exploration, and prove
to be an excellent gift for any newborn child.
My First (Bamboo) Keys
Children often hold the key to their mothers’ hearts. Children
quickly become the light of their mothers’ lives, occupying a space in their
hearts that nothing else could ever fill.
And now, you can commemorate this bond that the mother and
child share with the
My First (Bamboo)
Keys
baby shower gift from
Imagine Toys®. This adorable and multi-purpose kids’ toy is a wonderful option
for any expecting mother.
Why is this such a great baby shower gift idea for mothers
this April? For one, this toy is comprised of three bamboo keys that offer a
natural teething solution for a little one whose teeth are just starting to
come him. Newborns can ease their pain by teething on one of these cute bamboo
keys. Furthermore, on each of the bamboo keys is inscribed a heartwarming
saying, such as “keys to my new crib” or “keys to my mom’s heart.” This newborn
toy will help bring together the mother and child over a functional toy for
kids.
Twist & Turn Activity House
It is undeniable: newborns and toddlers love to explore the
world around them. They are fascinated by bright colors, interesting noise, and
different textures that provide a wonderful sensory experience.
And this year, you can show up to the baby shower with a toddler
toy that will provide a brilliant sensory experience for children ages 12
months and up. The
Twist
& Turn Activity House
shows off a host of turning gears and
unlocking doors, and lets a child hammer a ball down the chimney of the home.
The toddler will learn all about the basics of cause and effect, and will even delve
into the early world of problem solving. Celebrate an arrival this year with
this wonderful exploratory toy for kids.
Inhabit Design & Building Set
It is not necessary to arrive at a baby shower with a gift
for a newborn. Instead, you can surprise the expecting family with a gift that
their child can enjoy years down the line. For example, the
Inhabit
Design & Building Set
is an excellent gift for children over the
age of six, and would be an excellent baby shower gift this April. This fun
kids’ toy inspires children to create amazing architectural designs through the
use of unique cutouts that create beautiful light effects. Look to the future
this year with a great toy for kids.
Push Along Duck
Within their first year of life, many newborns begin to prop
themselves up and take their very first steps. Although it may seem simple now,
the process of walking is extremely difficult for a newborn who has yet to move
upright.
You can make the process so much easier with the
Push Along Duck
from Imagine Toys®. This darling kids’ toy is perfect for little ones who are
trying to take their first steps, as it acts as a walker with a cute duck at
the base of the toy.
