They may be just starting out, but they're not too young to enjoy tech toys. Here are our favorites tech gifts for babies and toddlers this holiday season.

 

Cloud b Soothing Sounds Plush Animals

A perfect blend of plush, cuddly, and soothing, the Cloud b Soothing Sounds line of animals has four sounds that play to comfort your baby and the plush animal automatically turns off after 23 minutes. A velcro strap is included so you can attach the animal to a side of a crib, and the sound box can be removed if you want to use the animal as just a stuffed toy to sleep with, or the animal needs to be cleaned.
Price: $27.95 for the Sleep Sheep or Gentle Giraffe on amazon.com or check out the Cloud b Twilight Constellation Night Light for $31.99 on amazon.com

 

4moms mamaRoo

Is it a bouncer? Is it a swing? Whatever you want to call it, the new mamaRoo from 4 Moms is what I'd call smart baby gear. It resembles a sleek baby-sized papasan seat perched on an axis, but with a motorized base that controls the movement, as well as emits sleepy nature-inspired sounds. The mamaRoo also features an output to connect to an mp3 player or ipod, perfect for those baby playlists.
Price: $199.99 on amazon.com, $199.99-$239.99 on shop4moms.com

Price: starts at $59.99 on amazon.com

Mickey is set to bust a move again this holiday season in what could be another hit toy from Fisher-Price.
