Every Monday in August I am posting some cost effective toy suggestions that could be included on a baby registry or purchased with confidence for a unique baby shower gift.

Here are a few inexpensive suggestions to promote an infant’s skills for head control through tummy time, as well as their visual tracking and grasping/reaching skills.

Infantino Merry Monkey Gym- $23.00

Portable activity arch with dangling toys that zips and folds up into a small bag! You can also attach the arch to the inside of the crib for entertainment as well. Use this as a tummy time mat, too! They make a hippo and worm version as well that are also adorable!

Sassy MP3 Me in the Mirror – $14.99

Attaches to the crib, props up on the floor and has a MP3 port to customize music for your child. Great for tummy time play.
