The February Must Haves Every Mom Will Love

Wooden blocks are one of the most traditional baby toys, but that doesn't mean they can't speak to adults. Created by an accessory-designer-turned-mom, this cheeky line of Sunny Bunny Kid blocks is perfect for a nursery room or the living room. Like the others in her collection, this made-to-order Play Hard Nap Harder block set ($138) can be customized with an assortment of fonts and colors.

There's plenty to love from the Emily & Meritt nursery collection at Pottery Barn Kids, but one of the most striking pieces is the black-and-white activity gym ($99) with gold accents. And before you complain that it's not colorful enough for baby, it's worth noting that in the first six months of life — particularly when you need to be practicing tummy time on a mat! — newborns respond best to bold, contrasting colors like these. So it's a chic way to hit those developmental milestones.

As a little kid, I couldn't get enough of books with sound buttons (though I vaguely remember them all disappearing at one point and my parents collectively sighing in relief during our quieter bedtime routine). Welcome to the Symphony ($25) is a book with sound that you won't go nuts listening to over and over again, as it teaches young children about the sounds of the symphony through beautiful instruments playing classical music — specifically Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

When 4moms introduces a new product, you know it is going to feature improvements on a common household item. For its new high chair ($300), which will hit Buy Buy Baby and specialty retailers later this month, the company is rethinking the tray that is the bane of parents' existence. The 4moms tray is actually magnetic. Hover it over the seat, and it locks into place. Place the included bowl — or one of the plates you buy separately — on top of the tray, and it stays in place thanks to magnetic bottoms of the accessories. Not only that, but the seat is all one piece with a foam insert that can be placed in the dishwasher when things get messy — which you know they will (spaghetti, we're looking at you!). Pure genius.

If you want to give your child's room, your playroom, or even an Instagram photo an instant lift, look no further than Kid Robot's Yummy World line of plush toys. Ranging from $6 to $50, depending on their size, the happy food-related toys are a guaranteed hit with every tween we've shown them to, showing up in social media photos and being the life of the sleepover party! Our favorites? Flaco the Taco ($30), Fernando the Fries ($30), and Sandy the Ice Cream Sandwich ($50) — they're almost too cute for words!

The latest in the Little Miss and Mr. Men series (which just inspired an adorable collection at Baby Gap), Mr. Mischief and the Leprechaun ($4) continues the ongoing series. This time, Mr. Mischief gets a taste of his own medicine when a Leprechaun starts playing tricks on him. They decide to join forces and wreak some havoc on the Mr. Men and Little Misses in town!
