Play, Learn, and Grow with Infantino

As parents, we are always looking for the best products for our kids. Is it safe? Is it durable? Will my child love it? These are questions we ask ourselves when purchasing a new toy or product for the most important person in our lives. Another question I always ask myself is, “Will it enhance development?” Many toys can keep a child engaged, but they don’t all foster learning. I believe that toys, travel, and experiences should encourage a love of learning, which is why I started Mommy University. I wanted to share these ideas with all of you. Infantino has become a household name when it co ..read more

I am so excited to partner with several amazing toy companies to bring you this year’s Play and Learn Holiday Gift Guide. Since even before I was a parent, when I purchased a toy for a child, I made sure it had a purpose. For me, a toy has to encourage learning, development and growth in some way otherwise what is the point? Toys and games should stimulate the brain, make kids think and reason and/or spark the imagination. Children learn through play so we have to make sure that play is meaningful! After careful consideration, I have come up with a list of some of my favorite toys that you are ..read more
