Although we love spending time outside during the summer, there are some days where the weather just doesn’t cooperate — it’s too hot, or too rainy, or too buggy. On those days, it’s important to have a fun indoor play space that’s perfect for babies, toddlers, and big kids. Totter + Tumble’s play mats are made of thick and durable memory, so they’re great for tummy time, play time, or even adult workout time. The play mats are reversible and come in a variety of different aesthetics that will suit any home.

Protect your little ones’ eyes this summer with Babiators’ iconic sunglasses. They have tons of styles and colors available (in sizes 0 to 2 years, 3 to 5 years, and 6+ years) that are safe and durable. Every pair of Babiators is BPA-free, features UV400 lenses, and they’re safe for wearing, touching, and even chewing (because we all know toddlers put everything in their mouths). One of their biggest selling points is their indestructibility — while lots of other kids’ sunglasses break and snap, Babiators have shatter-resistant lenses and rubber frames.
