Buying toys for babies is often a trying task for some, mostly because the selection is so large.  Most people want to buy toys that will help teach babies something - educational toys for babies or learning toys for babies are popular.  I'm no expert, but having " been there" (I currently have a 3- and 4-year old), I think I have a good grasp of what's good and what's not.  I've compiled a  list at the below link of toys and gifts for babies that would make great gifts for the holidays or as a new baby gift.  While there, you can check out my profile and see a list of other articles I have written.
