We love this balance bike from @Strider Bikes because it encourages kids to engage their balance, which is the first step to riding a pedal bicycle! Of course, kids should always wear a correctly fitted helmet on any wheeled toy and have close supervision. #momlife #bike #toddlermom #preschooler

The viral mix a roo from @Educational Insights is one of my favorite toys for development in preschoolers! Why? There are a ton of hidden skills that kids are working on while they play pretend with the mix a roo! Like what? Kids are working on their fine motor skills while switching the mix a roo around! They’re working on cognitive, social-emotional and executive function skills while planning out their mix a roo, following through on their plan and playing pretend. #momlife #toys #preschoolmom #toddlermom #educationalinsights

The mixaroo is easily one of my favorite toys this holiday season. I am always looking for toys that encourage creativity, open-ended play and fine motor engagement and this one checks all of those boxes. #educationalinsights #giftsforkids #toys #momlife #toddlermom #preschoolmom #holidayhaul

The mixaroo from @Educational Insights is hours of pretend play. The perfect finish to the perfect stocking. #educationalinsights #stockingstuffers #holidayhaul #momlife

This is how we’re entertaining bored kids over the winter holidays this year! Thanks to @Skillmatics for another find that engages creativity, fine motor skills, and keeps kiddos busy when they are stuck inside. #tiktokshopblackfriday #tiktokshopcybermonday #timechange #momlife
