Ladybug game – this is a huge favorite at our house! We literally play it at least 3 nights a week, if not every day. Kind of similar to chutes and ladders type of a board game. Easy enough for my 3-year-old to play, and my almost 6-year-old loves it as well!

On the left is the Haakaa silicone manual breast pump and on the right is the Bumblebee version. And honestly, they are identical. The Bumblebee had a clickable coupon that made it cheaper than the Haakaa, and I really liked the idea of the stopper and base/lid that were included. I highly suggest having two on hand, that way you can always have a clean and empty option available. I 100% recommend this to all new parents who are planning on breastfeeding! It doesn’t just sit there and collect leaking milk as the Milkies Milk-Saver does – it suctions onto your nipple. And if you struggle with let down, I have heard from a ton of moms that they feel like it helps their let down happen quicker too. It’s AMAZING for if you have other kids – no need to set anything up or deal with cords and plugs with the electric pumps.
Shape Mags Classic Set and Accessories Set. The boys can play with these for HOURS, which is awesome. I love that it fosters independent, open-ended play, and they can literally build whatever their imagination can think of. We work on colors and shape recognition while we play, and both my 5 and 2-year-old are obsessed. The Classic set is under $40, and the Accessories set is under $20.
