weeLove: Why Every Baby Needs a Caterpillar – Dedicated

From Freddie the Firefly to Captain Calamari, every baby has a favorite Lamaze “friend.” (And every parent knows they should never leave home without it!) Created with child development experts, the fun sounds, vivid colors, and textures of these treasured toys keep your little explorer entertained as they grow.

And speaking of growing… the new Lamaze Mix and Match Caterpillar is made of eight segments that your tot can easily piece together (or take apart) to build a colorful little critter. This must-have activity toy engages visual, auditory, and motor skills at home or on-the-go. Features like multi-colored ribbons, crinkly fabric, knotted legs, and contrasting patterns spark learning and development (disguised as 100% fun). Babies will have a blast shaking, squeezing, and discovering squeaky sounds while toddlers can practice matching and color recognition. Freddie and The Captain will gladly make some room in the toy box for this new caterpillar friend.

Beyond bringing your baby smiles, every Lamaze toy purchase supports education and advocacy for safe and healthy pregnancy, birth, and parenting around the world. They also have a great app, “Pregnancy to Parenting,” that tracks your pregnancy and provides tips for easing into parenthood. Check it out
