Must-Haves for Baby’s First (or Second!) Chanukah



I cannot believe we are only a few short months away from Chanukah! The first night of Chanukah is Thursday, December 7th, 2023!


I do not know about you, but I like to start my shopping early to make sure I have everyone’s gifts ahead of time. We have a lot of people to shop for, and I have to be prepared for EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS of gifts!


Every year I try to gift the kids a mix of things they need with a few things that they want. They ALWAYS want toys. The electronic toys consistently seem to be their favorites.


I am always on the lookout for new, fun, engaging, and educational toys. Just last year, we gifted Nora a VTech® PAW Patrol™ Learning Tablet, and it was a HUGE hit. Nine months later, she still plays with it every single day!



This year, I have a new(ish) nephew to shop for (he will be a year and a half come Chanukah time), and I immediately thought of VTech® for him. I think he would LOVE the VTech® Count & Win Sports Center™! He is just learning to walk so, by Chanukah, he should be ready to dunk!


I thought you might also be looking for some really great Chanukah gift ideas for the babies and toddlers in your life, so I created a gift guide filled with really cool VTech® toys that your kiddos will love!




1. VTech® Pop-a-Balls™ Push & Pop Bulldozer™ (12 months to 36 months) – Your little ones will love chasing, scooping up, and dropping the balls back into the bulldozer while building hand-eye coordination and motor skills.


2. VTech® Stroll & Discover Activity Walker™ (9 months to 36 months) – This toy is perfect for little ones learning to walk! The VTech® Stroll & Discover Activity Walker™ is colorful and has a great activity panel for floor play. The wheels can also be adjusted for more experienced walkers.




3. VTech® Prance & Rock Learning Unicorn™ (12 months to 36 months) – The unicorn transforms from a rocker to a ride-on toy as your child grows! It is so cool! I kind of wish I had bought this for Nora when she was younger.


4. VTech® Count & Win Sports Center™ (12 months to 36 months) – I will definitely be buying this for our nephew. He will love it! He will be able to score a basket or make a goal all on his own!


5. VTech® Drop & Go Dump Truck™ (6 months to 36 months) – This toy is great for helping little ones develop their motor skills and learn their numbers! The dump truck counts each rock as they are dropped into the top.





I hope this blog post inspires your Chanukah shopping!
