Gear Girl: Modern Wooden Play Gyms
Let's be honest: Most baby gyms look like a primary color explosion of yikesness. And yes, I owned one and found it an absolute lifesaver at that bewitching hour when every child under 1 starts crying right when you need to be cooking dinner. But whenever company arrived, I would try to nudge the brightly-colored eyesore into a corner where it was at least partially hidden from its "LOOK AT ME" color scheme. But these gorgeous wooden play gyms featured below? These I might just leave in the middle of the living room - on purpose.
I love that these modern wooden baby gyms keep your little one entertained without screaming for attention. Simple is better.
The tripod stance of this Plan Toys Activity Baby Gym gives you multiple options for entertaining baby and is constructed out of eco-friendly rubber wood.
For a wooden play gym that doesn't empty your pocketbook, try IKEA's molded birch LEKA baby gym for under $30.
Straight lines too harsh for your decor? I love the adjustable height arch of this Finn + Emma Dark Play Gym and four included organic, non-toxic, fair-trade toys.
The whimsical design of the PinToy Baby Gym looks almost cosmic until you get closer and see that the wooden danglies consist of a bird, heart and circle-on-circles.
It's true that the Musina Play Gym is decked out in primary colors, but the simple design and spinning toys keep it fun for baby and front room-friendly.
The Cariboo Activity Gym comes in four non-toxic finishes - espresso, mahogany, teak and white. Plus is has multiple bar heights for hanging the four included Cloud B mini toys.
Which is your favorite wooden baby gym?
