My Mom & Baby Class Kit

The simple, affordable pieces I use in my Babies @ Play classes, plus what goes in the gift bag every mama gets at her first class.

The must-haves

What’s in my bag

01

A baby doll

A demo baby gives mamas a clear visual to follow for every movement and activity, while their own babies warm up to you. Any doll with a soft body and a firmer head, hands and feet works well. This is the one I use.

02

A muslin blanket

Keeps the studio blankets clean and spit-up free, and doubles as a prop for rolling and tummy time practice. Most mamas already have one in their diaper bag.

03

A Tibetan singing bowl

My most random, yet magical, piece of equipment. It calms fussy babies in seconds, and I use it to close every class.

Bubble wands

A quick, mesmerizing extra activity that babies and mamas both love.

My first-class gift bag
