Make Tummy Time Fun (Probably)
Tummy time is a cutesy sounding name for your baby’s first workout, but it’s crucial to core muscle development and has been shown to help prevent motor delays. If that sounds strenuous, it is, and your baby may resist and protest. These are our favorite products for keeping tummy time fun, easy, and less of a chore for your little one.
Skip Hop Tropical Paradise Activity Gym & Baby Soother
This super cute gym includes a supportive tummy time pillow, mirror, and hanging toys that feature different sounds to engage your baby. Plus, it has a detachable sloth soother that plays 2 different calming sounds for when you’re on the go.
Designed by child development experts, the Lovevery Play Gym has accessories that feature contrasting colors to stimulate vision and ‘development zones’ that encourage learning and prevent overstimulation. Bonus: A play guide is included that’s full of inspiration and activities to help you engage your baby in play and exploring.
Wonder & Wise Llama Baby Activity Play Tent
This cozy gym grows with your baby from infancy through toddlerhood and beyond . After your little one becomes more mobile, the tent can be used for a fort or quiet nook when your toddler needs some me time or spot for quiet play.
