Reddit mentions of Cloud B Sleep Sheep Plush Sound Machine with Four Soothing Sounds, Natural

Wooden blocks. Best.toy.ever. Both girls play with them all the time. We've had the same wooden blocks played with almost daily for the past 2.5 years. They have been everything from castles and houses to food and animals. We have this set and a set we got at a second hand store which is much like this one. This past Christmas we also got our 3 year old a set of pattern blocks and print off designs for her to follow.

Wooden train tracks are awesome, too. We have a set from Ikea, which were great at first, but with time the plastic connectors are getting sticky since they don't expand and contract with the wood. The Brio/Thomas the Tank Engine set holds up much better in the long run.

Both our girls love their white noise stuffed animals. C has Sleep Sheep and L has Gentle Giraffe. They won't do what an actual white noise machine does, but the girls both found them very soothing as they were falling asleep and when they woke in the night.

They both have Kinderglo night lights. C has an owl and L has a hippo. We had a defective hippo and the customer service we received from Blue Moon Lites was phenomenal. They sent us a replacement hippo with absolutely no hassle, which turned out to also be defective. When I contacted them a second time, they were sincerely apologetic, referred to our experience as "unacceptable," then ran another replacement hippo through additional quality standards testing to be sure it wouldn't happen again. I haven't received that kind of customer service in a long time...and the last hippo is still going strong after a few months of "toddler testing."

Any and all Sandra Boynton board books. They're funny and cute and the girls love them all. We've memorized quite a few of them.
