Independent Play

We have all had those moments, a few minutes after putting baby down for bed you hear them making alot of noise and wonder whether or not you should go in. This alone time for baby is actually very important to the development of baby's sense of independence, confidence, and allows them to get out that last bit of energy that may be lingering from the day. 
So placing one or two age appropriate toys in your little one's crib fulfills that need for independent play and allows mom or dad a few extra minutes in the morning.
