Top toy brands like Hape and P'kolino offer great solutions for ocean themed birthday presents for babies and toddlers too. Offering a more unique twist on the shape sorter game, P'kolino's Fishing Hole Size Sorter encourages children to drop colorful fish into their corresponding fishing holes; helping to foster such fine motor skills as hand/eye coordination, dexterity, and logical thinking.
Children aged 1+ can continue to improve their building skills by creating whimsical oceanic structures with Hape's signature wooden blocks. Hape is one of those completely charming brands, like eeBoo, Janod, and Haba, that produce vibrantly colored play blocks with personality. Their "Under The Sea" blocks particularly stand out because they feature a wide variety of visuals, such as bubbles, starfish, water, sea grass, octopus and sand.Switching gears a little to the Arctic, polar bear plush is a terrific add-on gift with a more educationally-driven toy. Gund makes adorable baby plush with so much character, with Snuffles being one of the most beloved and softest of the bunch. This terrifically chubby snow-white polar bear is appealing to both babies and big kids alike. Snuffles also reminds me of those Coca-Cola polar bears during Christmas time!
"Under The Sea" style gift wrapping is really fun to create too. There's so many possibilities if you're running short on time as well, such as creating party favor bags with simple recycled brown paper bags, sea-themed party confetti, and tissue paper (sea colors: light blue, white, dark blue, light green and a dash of pink)Need more ideas?
