Toys come in all shapes and sizes, but to the adult eye, most toys come in obnoxious shapes and ridiculous sizes. So often, our kids' playthings are so visually offensive that we relegate them to a separate room entirely. Not so with these finds, many of which you've probably spotted in a well-lit snap on your Instagram feed. From vintage-inspired stuffed animals to play kitchens that rival your own, here are the most hashtag-worthy toys on the internet.
If you strive for a Pinterest-ready home, why not do the same with your kid's dollhouse? With the right set of miniatures (and a life-size child for scale), your followers will be wishing they could take up residence in your snap of this tiny A-frame abode ($149).
These handmade stuffed animals ($42 to $48) — from frogs to foxes to floral-crown-wearing fawns — are the definition of whimsical. Perfect gifts for babies, the line includes gorgeous "dress-up outfits" that will keep these darling dolls in your kid's rotation and, thus, in your feed for years.
Some of the best Instagram posts are all about clean lines and muted tones, but good old Crosby ($72) is the exception. The squiggly edges and bright, bursting-with-joy colors make this toy a visual feast . . . and there's not even a cute toddler in the picture yet.
It's as if when designing a pint-size kitchen ($100), the toymakers at Ikea got the memo that modern, on-trend kitchens feature all-white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a minimalistic aesthetic.
Sure, your childless friends might be 'gramming the latest It version of the flamingo pool float, but we think that one of the most classic of water toys, the yellow rubber ducky ($25), is just as photogenic.
Mommy blogger living in the big city? This set of city skyscraper blocks ($50) is meant to portray Manhattan but is perfect for any urban family's feed.
Stacking toys are key to developing your kiddo's fine-motor skills, and this entrancing, 12-piece rainbow ($88) is key to getting record-setting "likes."
Ride-along toys get a bad rap: they are often enormous and an eye sore. Thankfully, the sophisticated folks at Restoration Hardware are offering families a fleet of sleek red vintage European race cars ($159) to take up residence in their living rooms.
Sure, it's no cronut, but this wooden croissant teething toy ($26) looks good enough to eat.
No mom's Instagram feed is complete without the requisite photo of a napping toddler in an indoor cotton-canvas tent ($199), chic black and white star print optional.
Perhaps it's déclassé these days to snap and share photos of your food, but what about your kid's wooden '50s-retro-inspired play food ($29)? That's OK, right?
