65+ *Aesthetic* Neutral Baby Toys That You Literally *Need*

Tired of searching *literally everywhere* for cute, neutral baby toys and gear that aren’t a total assault to your peaceful little home? 

Then you’re in the right spot. We’re about to dive into the *ultimate* list of aesthetic, neutral baby toys that you are going to seriously fall in love with. 

The Hunt for Aesthetic, Neutral Baby Toys

Before becoming a mama myself, I never really put much thought into the mounds, piles and masses of baby gear that come with that sweet little baby.

Once my husband and I started putting together our baby registry, it became clear pretty quickly that we were about to be facing a bit of an existential crisis — aka a rainbow explosion of baby gear. 

While I do understand that bright, vibrant colors are an important piece of the early learning puzzle, I also do lean towards the Montessori-style of learning that tends to favor the ‘natural beauty’ in things. 

This quote from Montessori-mama, Jenna Wawrzyniec, puts it perfectly:

“Montessori at home doesn’t restrict color; it reminds us not to restrict natural beauty.

It is more often the case that color is used to overstimulate and distract the child.

Our world is beautiful, and we don’t actually need to buy so much extra stuff in order to inspire our children.

Can you offer a colorful, plastic toy, or use a rug with colorful prints and patterns?

Of course!

Nurturing purposeful engagement at home is possible no matter your budget, style, or toy collection.

But, if you catch yourself falling for the mainstream trap of blanketing your child’s space in all things busy and bright, consider how the space makes you feel.

If it’s overwhelming for you, it is definitely overwhelming for your child.”

A pretty good argument for feeling good about buying some pretty, neutral baby toys for your little one, right?
