Quiet Toys to Keep Big Kids Occupied During the Holidays

Welcome back, dear friends! Are you excited for the Holiday season? I know all of us here at ECOBUNS BABY + CO definitely are!

Today I am here to help answer one of the biggest questions that we get asked around this time of year: What kinds of toys do you have that will help keep the big kids occupied and happy during Holiday get-togethers and family gatherings?

The Holidays can sometimes be a hectic time and for kids being herded around even more so. So, how can we keep them occupied, yet not make things complicated and over-stimulating? We here at ECOBUNS have just added to our list of wonderful, no-batteries-needed toys just in time for the Holidays. All you and your kiddos will need is a quiet, comfy place to hang out so that you can let your imaginations soar. Plus, who doesn't like to have their littles learning while they are having fun and playing?!

Come on along with me as I help you to navigate the world of toys and break things down into a simple, travel-worthy list.

Thirsties Naturals

Welcome, welcome, welcome! We are thrilled to have you back with us.

There's nothing like an adorable fluffy bum on your little and Thirsties knows how to do it right! Not only are they cute, but they are insanely functional. All of us at here at ECOBUNS BABY + CO. are in love with, not only their adorable prints and solids are, but how wonderfully made these cloth diapers are. You can feel great about knowing that you are lessening your little family's environmental impact by using cloth, but that you are also using natural fibers, which are great for Mother Earth, as well as baby's bottom.

In my personal experience, we love them for daytime wear, but, man, do they ever hold up overnight for our 13-hour-a-night, tummy sleeper! She wakes up with dry jammies and happy as can be every single time, which leaves us starting each day with a smile on our face. And as young, busy parents, that's huge, right?! I can't say enough great things about the fit and the available styles, prints and options either. GAH!
