This is one of the funniest games that your three years old will love. It has 72 tiles with your child’s favorite characters. Each character has two matching cards.

Since there are many tiles, you can make the game easier for her by having fewer tiles. Or make it more challenging by having more cards. You can even play together, or she can play with other kids in a competition, whoever makes the most matches wins.

You want a toy that is appealing and simple enough for two-year-olds to use. Otherwise, if it is too complex or too simple, they will lose interest in it fast.

Therefore, the best toys should promote the development of these skills.

A baby registry is a list of items done by expectant parents showing the gifts they would wish to receive from specific stores. The purpose of the registry is to prevent receiving duplicate items and also make sure the items blend well with their nursery décor.
The registry can be done online or offline, and there is no limit to the number of stores the parents can register with. However, if the registry is done offline, it is advisable to choose a store whose location is convenient for most friends and family.
The parents go to the store(s) and create the registry themselves on the kiosk computer, or the store clerk assists in setting it up. Barcodes of the items they wish to receive are then scanned. The clerk then downloads the items into a computer file and creates the registry. It is also advisable that parents register items that have a varied price range. For the online registry, the stores have a specific section on their websites where parents enter the information directly.
When family and friends decide to buy gifts for the baby, they will go to the store where the expectant couple registered and print a copy of the registry from the kiosk and locate the item they wish to buy. Once they buy, the cashier scans the registry paper, and the item is removed from the registry. The same applies when online purchasing is done.
Is baby registry free?
There are usually no charges to create your baby registry
Can the baby registry be private/ anonymous?
Yes, most online baby registries have the option of making your registry private. You create settings to control who is able to view it. Also, you can change the settings at any time you wish.
When to do a baby registry
There is no set right time to start registering for a baby, but as a general rule: the earlier, the better. A baby registry can be serious work with so many different brands and models of baby items in the market; you will need to do detailed research to make sure you come up with the right products that are most suitable for your family’s needs. Most moms-to-be start at around 12 weeks
Where to do a baby registry
There are many baby registry options everywhere that you can be lost for choice. Also, the preference will vary from person to person. For instance, some parents might prefer a user-friendly website or app while another will be compelled by free samples, another one discounts.
The best way to help you decide where would be first to compile your baby registry list, that way you know exactly what you need, and you can be able to narrow down to the specific retailers selling it. Ease of use, convenience, and ability (or not) of adding products from other retailers to your registry are other factors that you could consider to make your decision.
To help you choose the best baby registry for you, we have compiled a list of enticing perks being offered by popular baby registries:
Free samples: some retailers send you a gift box with free samples and coupons once you sign up with them for a baby registry on their website.
Extended return period: some registry sites offer extended return windows for items bought from your registry. This gives you an opportunity to return unused items and trade them for store credit.
Completion discounts: some baby registry sites offer you discounts for a limited time (a few weeks) towards the end of your pregnancy or after your due date. It is usually a one-time coupon code.
Group gifting: this offer is especially great if you have several items on your registry that are expensive. It allows a group of friends or family members to contribute towards meeting the cost.
Some of the best baby registry options with the best perks we would recommend are Amazon, Target, Walmart, Buy Buy Baby, among others.
Essentials for baby registry checklist/ baby registry checklist
We can understand how just walking into a baby shop makes you start realizing more and more items that you think your baby needs but truth be told; the baby only needs you your tender love and breast milk preferably(formula), clothes to keep them warm, and lots of sleep. However, we know it is much it takes much more to make this happen; that why we give you a list of absolutely necessary items to include on your baby registry list.
Swaddle Blankets:
All newborns are always swaddled up, in hospitals, at home, even the movies! And there is a good reason; to keep them warm, feeling safe and comfortable enough to sleep. You will need plenty of them.
Infant car seat:
We cannot emphasize how much safety is important to any baby, and the hospitals cannot take chances too. In the US, You must have a properly installed infant car seat to be allowed to take your baby home after being discharged. Chicco KeyFit 30 has been highly rated on Consumer Report and Amazon by many parents over the years for safety.
Double electric breast pump
This will be a lifesaver if you will be breastfeeding. A good double electric breast pump will give you a strong and steady milk supply and freedom. Once you have collected the milk, you can freeze for future feeding. Where you can have your partner assist you or the nanny feed the baby as you take a breather or while working later on.
Nursing pillow
Nursing pillows are great at holding the baby comfortably when nursing or breastfeeding. They are also handy for visitors and little kids who wish to hold your baby. Later on, when the baby is older, the pillows will help keep the baby upright when sitting.
Adorable onesies /gowns/sleepers
These are all that babies wear depending on the season; you can look for the most adorable ones for your baby.
Strollers:
Strollers are great not only for the traveling mom but every mom because you will need to feel fresh air on your face from time to time and some sunshine too for you and your adorable little one. Strollers range in price and functionality from the most basic to the fancy and expensive ones.
Diapers:
You will need them for a long time, so make sure you have them on the list. Also, specify multiple sizes since the baby will outgrow the newborn stage fast.
Thermometer:
A thermometer is useful for knowing how warm or cold your baby. It will come in handy, especially days when the baby is unwell with flu or teething. It will keep you from being frantic with worry. A digital thermometer is ideal.
Baby carrier:
A carrier is handy for when you need to carry your baby when attending to other things like house chores or taking a walk. Slings styles are trendy.
Newborn sleep space
Your newborn will need a cozy place to sleep; some great choices include Dock A Tot for in the bed with you, co-sleeper, or bassinet.
Baby swing
You will have many hours of rocking the baby to sleep which will really tire out your arms, having a swing will give your arms a rest and help the baby have a normal sleep cycle instead of keeping the baby dependent on being rocked to sleep.
Baby Registry Checklist for Twins
Twins require double items, but the good thing is that they can share some items in the early months except essentials. Also, to cut down the cost, you could also buy second-hand items that are in good condition like baby gears that would otherwise be pricey. However, if you are not tight on budget, it will be great to have everything new for your angels.

Perfumes explicitly designed for babies are safe and are highly regulated before they hit the market. Baby perfumes usually use water (Aqua) as the main component, natural ingredients like flowers, fruit, wood, roots, spices, musk from male deer, and more. Like many other manufactured products, baby perfumes also contain chemicals but of high quality and safe for delicate baby skin. They are also regulated to make sure they are free of toxic chemicals, allergens, and other harsh things like alcohol.
Can you give baby perfume?
It is such a divisive question. Depending on where you live, this idea may seem strange to you, like how can you make the baby smell more heavenly than they already do, Right? Surprisingly, in places like Europe, this is normal, and their idea of baby smell is more fruity than “powdery.” The best answer is that it should be left to your personal conviction. I think it is merely an extravagance and not a necessity. After all, babies smell divine. But, if you really must put it on your baby, ensure the ingredients are safe.
Some notorious culprits to watch out for in the ingredients list are:
Parabens- they disrupt the body’s hormonal system as well as the male reproductive system
Phthalates (diethyl phthalate) – they are closely linked to cancers and other chronic illnesses.
Synthetic musk- it contributes to organ toxicity, reproductive toxicity, and hormonal disruption.
Styrene- it is a possible carcinogenic
Benzophenone- it is associated with cancer and causes endocrine disruption
Butyl compounds (BHA or BHT)- disrupt the endocrine system and cause reproductive toxicity
Ethanolamines- can cause asthma and are also associated with liver tumors
Acetaldehyde- increases the risk of cancer and liver cirrhosis.
Baby perfume for girls
Perfumes for baby girls are not made any special than those of baby boys. In my opinion, it is merely a marketing strategy. After all, regardless of gender, we expect them to smell like a fresh baby not to have adult scents. Most baby perfumes are gender-neutral. However, you can check the label- some state expressly it’s for girls. They could also have features targeting girls like using baby pink color on the packaging, drawings that are girlish, etc.
Baby perfume for boys
Perfumes for baby boys are not made any different than those of baby girls. In my opinion, it is merely a marketing strategy. After all, regardless of gender, we expect them to smell like a fresh baby not to have adult scents. Most baby perfumes are gender-neutral. However, you can check the label- some state expressly, it’s for boys. They could also have features targeting boys like using blue on the packaging, art, or designs with boyish themes, etc.
Can baby smell perfumes?
Yes, your baby can smell perfumes. Their sense of smell develops while they are still in the womb so that they can pick your scent to notice your presence once they are born without seeing you. They also pick the scent of your breast milk. The sense of smell creates a bond between mom and baby that the baby associates with safety and comfort. So, it is advisable not to wear perfume because it will be overpowering for your baby, especially in the early months, and may affect their sense of taste. On the other hand, baby perfumes are mild and are designed to create a special bond between mom and baby.

In the video below Isabel Galvin explains the mistakes you should avoid as you prepare your baby registry. She goes through the items you need to avoid getting yet you may never use them.
9 Mistakes You Should Avoid To Make Sure You Do Not Put Wrong Things on Your Baby’s Registry: According to Parents Magazine
Parent Magazine also has a list of 9 mistakes to avoid as you prepare your baby registry and specific items not to put on baby registry. Below are the 9 mistakes they advice you should avoid:
Insisting to get everything new: Some used clothes and even cribs are great. So long as a product doesn’t have a recall or know defect that may endanger your baby, you should consider new as well as used baby products on your registry but avoid any product that has been recalled.
Going overboard by listing too many products on your baby registry
Thinking small and not factoring in baby items as your baby grows to be a toddler.
Adding too many items that you may not need such as pacifiers. Stick to the basics
Loading up expensive essentials such as a $400 baby monitor while you could consider other that cost only $150 and are equally good and secure.
Registering for a breast pump. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act passed during Obama’s administration, you can call your insurance provider and request a breast pump and you’ll be provided.
Not being neutral with gender. If you are not sure about your baby’s gender, you should only get products that. So you may want to reduce the pink. The baby may be a boy!
Including a product on the registry because of some hype. You may have read of reviews that a baby monitor can basically coordinate with Google Home Hub as a nanny. Don’t rush to it. Go slow and read several reviews but again, go for traditional baby products on your registry.
Thinking about yourself. Many parents forget small products that parents really need and only focus on that baby lounger, infant carrier and forget other essentials that you’d need such as a nipple cream. Drop some of your essential items too. Don’t forget yourself.
10 Items Not To Include on Baby Registry
1. A baby changing table
A $290 changing table (link to Amazon) is just not worth it.
Changing pad
You can go for changing pad cover and you’ll be fine. It cost just $16 and you can put it on top of the dresser.
2. Wipe Warmer
You will probably not use this item. More than 50% of parents that we reached out said they never used it after buying it. Just get regular wipes for like $12. You can check its price on Amazon here.
3. Huge High Chair: The Wrong Item to Put on Registry
You really don’t need a huge high chair similar to the one below.
If you really need a booster seat, you can get the Fisher-Price booster for less than $30.
4. An Expensive Baby Monitor
Some baby monitors are just too expensive for no significant additional utility. You may not really need a $900 baby monitor that emits zero emf emission radiation while others going for as low as $150 emit very limited emf radiation. The emf level limit put by FCC is 4w/kg and a popular baby monitors such as Infant Optics DXR 8 has 1.86W/Kg.
Find yourself a small food processor and stick that on your baby registry!
7. Baby Blankets
You don’t need to add a baby blanket on your baby shower or baby blanket.
8. Baby Powder
You may never use this at all. So don’t even bother adding it to the registry. Instead, you can just pat the baby dry with a towel and if it has a diaper rash just use Organic Coconut Oil or Earth Mama Organic Diaper Balm. They go for less than $20.
9. A Diaper Genie
Diaper genies are just gross and I don’t even know why they were invented. Does it really help anyone?
Instead of a diaper genie, you can just use a plastic trash can to throw the towel and hide the odor.
10. A Crib
If you are a co-sleeping mum, you may really not need the crib and no need to add it on the registry or on your baby shower list. You can get the baby loungers that are great for co-sleeping instead of a crib.
