If you're like most first-time moms or non-parent gift givers, baby superstores and toy superstores are enough to make you hyperventilate. While we can't guarantee our toy and book selections will develop an Ivy Leaguer, we have developed a system to make the process a bit easier on you. As you peruse, please note the award symbol that indicates it has received a prestigious nomination or award from organizations such as Oppenheimer, Parents Magazine or Caldecott. The additional selections are favorites of our staff - from personal experience or from research - that provide educational value while inspiring creativity, learning and fun.
