Confession time: I actually started with toys while I was creating Baby Bundles. Since baby/toddler toys are a relatively small market compared with children’s toys, it seemed like I should get a list of toys that were appropriate for circulation before I picked out themes. Luckily, the toys lent themselves to natural themes and I still have a list of toys that I may use for future kits!
Ahhhhh, I love these pull-back vehicles. They are machine-washable (!!) and kids just absolutely adore them. I just found out that Melissa and Doug also have these in construction vehicles and you can bet that those were added to my list of new toys for new Baby Bundles.
Cars Go and all of the Steve Light transportation books are fantastic board books. But their irregular shape doesn’t always work for board book collections. It was a perfect fit to include in our Baby Bundle though and it will be read more often than the ones we have on oversized display. And you cannot go wrong with Karen Katz, so Zoom, Baby, Zoom was perfect.
It’s been ten months since the Baby Bundles debuted and this Bundle has circulated seventeen times.
