At Boho Baby Heaven, we believe playtime should be filled with giggles, sensory joy, and sweet little milestones, but safety always comes first. Our handcrafted baby play gym toys are designed with care and love, but a few extra tips will help you create the safest (and happiest) play space for your little one.
Let’s dive into our playful but practical guide to using your boho baby play gym toys the safe and smart way.
Step 1: Secure the Scene
Before the play begins, let’s set the stage! Whether wooden, plastic, or rattan, always make sure your baby gym stand is properly assembled and sitting flat on a stable surface. Wobbly setups? No, thank you!
We’re often asked which stand we use. We chose a natural wooden stand from a lovely Etsy shop that pairs beautifully with our handmade toys. You can find it here.
Step 2: Loop, Hook, Enjoy the Simplicity
No tools, no fuss, just fun! Our toys come with our signature secure macramé loops, making it super easy to attach them to just about any play gym. Simply hook them around the frame for a snug fit. We also have toys with wooden ring attachment style.
Step 3: Inspect Before You Play
Just like you’d check a blanket before tucking them in, give your baby’s play gym toys a quick once-over before each use. Look for:
- Frayed strings
- Loose stitching
- Worn-out wooden beads
Even the highest quality handmade items deserve a little check-up now and then! Check the toys regularly for signs of wear or loose parts. If something doesn’t look quite right, fix it or remove it immediately.
Step 4: Supervise With Love
We totally get it that babies don’t come with a pause button, and neither do to-do lists. But whenever your little explorer is playing, they’ll need your full attention. Always supervise your baby during playtime to make sure everything stays safe and sound.
Step 5: Keep It Cool (Literally)
Our toys are made for sensory joy, not for sitting near heaters or fireplaces. Keep all play gym toys away from fire or high heat sources, always.
Step 6: Prevent Playtime Mishaps Caused by Older Siblings
Older siblings, as cute and curious as they are, should never play with the baby gym toys. They might accidentally damage them or create choking hazards, so it's best to set clear playtime boundaries and always superwise.
Step 7: Know When to Say Goodbye (For Now)
Once your baby can sit up or pull themselves up independently, it's time to retire the hanging toys from their reach. Why? At this stage, little hands are strong and curious enough to tug everything down!
But don’t worry, this isn’t goodbye forever. Our play gym toys are made to last. Thoughtfully designed and handcrafted, they’re perfect for tucking away and bringing back out when the next little love arrives. Or, pass them down to a friend, a cousin, or even hold onto them as sweet keepsakes of those early milestones.
Every toy we design is stitched with love, tested for sturdiness, and infused with the intention to bring you peace of mind and your baby hours of happy play.
