Chipmunk Plush
Realistic, huggable, and ready for adventures, introduce this Chipmunk Plush from the earliest days. We may take them for granted, but in addition to being adorable, they help disperse seeds and support new growth. (They also serve as food for other animals in the food chain, but you can save that fact for when your little one is a bit older!)

Crinkle Acorn Teether
Can you believe that a tiny acorn becomes a mighty oak tree? A perfect metaphor the blink-and-you'll-miss-it nature of childhood. Savor your tiny acorns and help them build appreciation for the oak tree with Wee Gallery's Crinkle Acorn Teether.
Crochet Deer Teether & Rattle
We love a good deer sighting. Introduce the species early to your littlest one with this Crochet Deer Teether & Rattle from Blueberry Hill. Hand-crocheted and features a baby-safe beech wood ring.
Great White Shark Figurine
A great white shark figurine from schleich. These apex predators pass by the mid-atlantic coast as part of their annual migration - following warmer waters north to New England in the summers, and then wintering - like a good snowbird - down the southeast Atlantic coast. We love these figurines starting with young toddlers - perfect for playtime and bathtime.
Humpback Whale (Young Zoologist)
Beautiful illustrations and digestable facts about the majestic humpback whale are to be found in Humpback Whale in the Young Zoologist series. Can you believe these creatures have been sited in the Chesapeake, and even in the Potomac River?! They migrate around the Mid-Atlantic in the spring and summer months, so go test your luck and see if you will be blessed with a sighting.
Ocean Earth Playsilk
We love Sarah's Silks' wonderful open-ended silks. This ocean earth playsilk can be anything, but we love it especially as a setting for your little one's beachwalk finds, figurines, and stuffies.
Red Fox Stuffed Animal
We love Wild Republic’s realistically designed yet cuddly stuffed animals. This soft red fox makes the perfect snuggle buddy, and a fun reminder to keep your eyes peeled at dusk, when you might spot a real fox darting through your own urban or suburban neighborhood.
Ten Ways to Hear the Snow
A beautiful story of a young girl waking up on a snowy day and experiencing the neighborhod around her in new ways as she walks to her grandmother's apartment to make grape leaves together. Perfect for 4+.
Water Is Water
Love this book about the water cycle. Water is Water is the story of the water cycle as told through the seasons and how children and families interact with water in its different forms (swimming in a lake, ice-skating, throwing snowballs, jumping in muddy puddles...). Exceptional illustrations by Jason Chin. Good for 4+.
White-tailed Fawn Figurine
Look how cute! A white-tailed fawn from schleich. Fawns are typically born in the spring or early summer, and their spotted coats help them to camouflage while their mom forages for food.
Nothing for that age on this shelf yet.
