Premature organic baby gifts, undyed:
Organic comforters or "doudous", especially undyed ones, are wonderful toys for premature babies - particularly those which have a wool or organic cotton filling. These natural comforters will absorb a mother's scent when held against her skin (ideally for a night or two) so that when placed alongside a baby, he or she will feel reassured by the familiarity of his or her mother's scent nearby. This can be particularly valuable for helping with bonding for premature babies who may be partially or entirely unable to have parental contact in the early days due to medical restrictions. Another time when this "scenting" can be soothing for babies is at night time, to help settle them to sleep or when they are not being held. The absence of facial features on some toys avoids possibly unsettling a very young baby.
Newborn organic baby gifts:
Again, natural comforters are a lovely toy for all young babies and many in our ranges come as rattles in very similar, more compact designs. Comforters and doudous in the Keptin-Jr range are available in some really lovely colours, as well as a comprehensive range of undyed options. The pastel coloured Keptin Jr rattles shown above are also available in a larger size as comforters.
For toys which will really be enjoyed throughout the early months, the Nature's Purest "My First Toy" giraffe, elephant and lion are made from undyed, unbleached certified organically grown cotton. All of the Nature's Purest toys are coloured only by using fibres from the naturally occurring brown, green and white varieties of the cotton plant. The "My First Toy" range has been thoughtfully designed so that when lightly rested on a baby's tummy, the animal's face looks upwards to the baby, making them an engaging choice for a newborn or very young baby.
If you would like a toy which makes a truly gorgeous newborn gift, suitable from birth but will still appeal through various stages of development, a firm favourite for our customers is Nature's Purest's Activity Bricks.
Hypoallergenic baby toys and baby gifts:
Being organic, the toys we offer are kind to delicate skin, but those with the best dust mite deterrent qualities are those with pure wool, organic wool or polyester fillings as the smooth fibres of these materials make it harder for dust particles or dust mites to attach. For these qualities, browse any of the toys in the ranges of Sigikid, Kaloo, Kathe Kruse, Nature's Purest, Kallisto, Natura Pura and Keptin-Jr. Also consider toys which are undyed, such as all Nature's Purest and Natura Pura and some of Keptin-Jr's toys.
Pre-school/activity organic toys
Sigikid, Nature's Purest and Under the Nile have great toys to help develop skills and imaginations through play. Under the Nile's organic fruit and vegetable ranges also help to promote a fun and positive approach to healthy eating from a young age.
My Wondercube is an award-winning toy which is suitable from birth but will grow with your child as he or she develops. It is THE perfect invention for babies and toddlers who love to pull wipes out of the packet, but ingeniously this amazing toy goes beyond this great idea! It can be filled with themed sets of organic cotton squares, which can be linked together. These fillings come in a lovely choice of fun and educational themes which help little ones to learn skills such as recognising letters and numbers, spelling, counting and basic sums, emotions, learning to recognise and outline shapes, and more! It can also be personalised with additional individual letter squares to spell out the child's name, helping them to learn to recognise, read and write their name.
