Here are some of my favorite things that I use with my own children. Even though I focus many of my posts on things you likely have at home, I also want to share some things I have in my home that I absolutely love. These are all products I genuinely love and I think really help me when it comes to creating simple, fun, and educational activities with my kids.

Playgarden Prep

I recently discovered Playgarden Prep and am absolutely in love! Playgarden Online provides tons of educational and fun videos and activities for preschool aged kids. It provides snack ideas, book readings, recommendations, and hundreds of songs and activities. My toddler absolutely loves it! It’s a great screen time option that is engaging and I feel good about as a parent.

THE BEST PART? They offer a free 14-day trial plus a 100% money-back guarantee on all purchases!

Duplos

It’s hard to no have Lego’s Duplos on here. They truly are one of my favorite things, as well as my toddler’s. Here are two play sets my toddler has and absolutely loves, as well as a general building plate for open exploration. You can click on the links below to learn more.
