For this option, the name says it all. Large to small they have plenty of baskets to choose from. How about a giant monkey baby mat? This super soft, ultra-plush throw is perfect for nap time or play time. The back is non-skid, so it won?t slide around the floor as baby moves around. The large stuffed head can be used as a pillow and it folds up for easy transport. Better still is the fact that it?s completely machine washable. If you?re looking for something a little different, they offer a board book and finger puppet playset featuring five little monkeys jumping on a bed.
