FOR A ONE-YEAR-OLD: Wooden school bus set, $23, which, as I've mentioned before, has been Toby's favorite toy for four years running—and Anton is quickly following in his footsteps.

Kazoo, $3.95, so he can hum his little heart out.

Rainball bath toy, $13.

Misha and Puff hats and sweaters, since they're worth the splurge. (Available here, too.)

A bunny onesie, $39, because he is your little bunny.
