Our little munchkin would love a book in English or French. Wondering if we already have a book? Just ask! We have included a link to a Montreal bookstore that has a great selection in both languages. Octopus Books is also a great option for an Ottawa independent bookstore that's a short walk from our house.

These stools match the table we included. Looking forward to doing crafts and other sensory table play with Felix!

Whether you buy this one or something else, please mark it has purchased so others know you've got this covered.

We've heard toddlers love cruising around with these as they learn to walk and they're cute to boot!

We have high hopes for some montessori-inspired Ikea hack /uses of a play kitchen that will allow Felix to prepare a few food items himself when he is old enough.

We've yet to be steered wrong by anything Lee Valley sells and we liked the idea that it doesn't retain odors, which is why we have included a link to their website. Please do not feel bound by this make or model, though. Whether you buy this one or something else, please mark it as purchased so that others know you've got it covered.

We're calling it quits on the battle to keep the various kitchen tools organized in a way that actually lets us open and close our drawer. To the counter it is! This link is for a pottery pot made in Quebec, but please don't feel constrained by this particular one - something simple from a shop or maker near you would be much appreciated.

We're not at all wed (ha!) to this model, especially if there's another waffle maker you think is good or is easier to come by for you. Whether you buy this one or something else, please mark it has purchased so others know you've got this covered.

Please don't feel bound by this specific link, it's just to give you the idea. Whether you buy this one or something else, please mark it has purchased so others know you've got this covered.

Ikea also sells rolls of paper that hook on and chalk for the blackboard side of the easel.

The idea of these learning towers is that toddlers can join in the cooking and be safely at counter. We think Felix is going to love mixing a big bowl of pancake mix when he's old enough!This one is made in Quebec, has an adjustable height, and gets good reviews, but there are many models and makers of these "learning towers" that would be equally great.

This beautiful little blue mug from Wild Cove Pottery in Newfoundland is Chris' favourite coffee mug. We have been fortunate to collect mugs from a few places we have visited, but we would love to expand our collection with a mug from your corner of the world!

We picked this one after hearing good things from fellow mom. Major plus is that it fits in the overhead compartment!

We already have a set of these fantastic Portuguese dishes in speckled white, but could always use a few extra plates. After all, we're hoping to have dinner parties with many of you in the years to come!

We already have a set of these fantastic Portuguese dishes in larger sizes in speckled white, but they didn't have desert plates when we started our collection so we'd love to complete it with this useful addition.

Please don't feel bound by this specific link, but we do love the idea of kitchen scissors that are magnetic so they're less likely to be misplaced. Whether you buy this one or something else, please mark it has purchased so others know you've got this covered.

This is a link to the Zwilling's website, but many kitchen and department stores sell this model. Whether you buy them through this link or elsewhere, please mark it has purchased so others know you've got this covered.

We have provided a link to a Refurbished Artisan® Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer through KitchenAid.ca, because this was the best deal we found at the time we were preparing the registry. We are by no means wed (ha!) to this particular one.

We love the idea of a pentatonic glockenspiel, because all the notes sound good together. Makes early music making much more pleasant. Please don't feel bound by this specific link, but whether you buy this one or something else, please mark it has purchased so others know you've got this covered.

We have posted the matching stools for fun play dates separately.

If we're honest, we aren't totally sure what Felix will do with this, but we've heard from many friends with toddlers that these are a big hit and last for years - first for assisted play and eventually for balancing on their own or evening lying on it to read a book. There are many different makers of these balance boards so please don't feel bound by this link.
