A Collaboration Between Ace Parenting Club + Megan Founder Of Baby Ellor
As a mum trying to make more sustainable choices, I’ve always been mindful of what I bring into our home, especially when it comes to toys. I used to lean heavily toward wooden toys. They felt like the right choice: natural, plastic-free and long-lasting… or so I thought.
But after a few months of messy play, bath time chaos and regular cleaning, I realised wooden toys don’t always hold up. That’s when I discovered Baby Ellor and everything changed. Created by Megan, a fellow conscious mum, Baby Ellor offers a thoughtful range of non-toxic, BPA-free silicone baby toys that are built to last, safe for little mouths and kind to the planet. Here’s why switching to silicone toys has been one of the best parenting decisions I’ve made.
1. Sensory Play with Silicone Baby Toys
Gentle, Safe and Easy to Clean
Sensory play is essential for child development, especially in those early months when everything goes straight into their mouth (hello teething, hello germs). By the time I had my second, I knew wooden toys just couldn’t keep up. Between a curious toddler and a very fluffy elderly cat, I needed toys that could survive endless cleaning.
That’s why I love the stacking cups and stacking houses from Baby Ellor. They’ve been frozen, dunked in oobleck, buried in the garden and still come out looking brand new. They can even go in the dishwasher.
2. Imaginative Play with Durable Silicone Role Play Toys
Toys That Keep Up with Creative Kids
Imaginative play is huge in our house and plays a key role in language development, problem-solving and emotional growth. One minute we’re princess builders, the next we’re superhero vets. But not all toys can keep up with that level of creativity.
Baby Ellor’s silicone role play toys are soft enough for my youngest to safely chew, yet durable enough to handle all kinds of adventures. Unlike cheap plastic toys that crack or fade, silicone holds its shape and strength, helping kids stay immersed in play without interruptions.
3. Best Teething Toys: Silicone for Soothing Relief
Non-Toxic Comfort for Tender Gums
There’s nothing worse than watching your baby struggle through teething. I needed something safe, soothing and easy to clean. Baby Ellor’s 360° silicone teether and baby toothbrush are now essentials in our home.
They’re freezer-friendly for extra relief, support early oral hygiene and are made from food-grade silicone. No chemicals, no microplastics, just safe and calming teething relief.
4. Mould-Free Silicone Bath Toys
Clean, Hygienic Fun Every Bath Time
Bath time is such a special part of our daily rhythm, but I can’t count how many toys I’ve had to throw away because of hidden mould. My girls were always disappointed when their favourites disappeared.
Now we use Baby Ellor’s mould-free silicone bath toys. They don’t trap water, they’re easy to rinse and they stay fresh without going slimy. It’s made bath time more fun and worry-free.
5. Fine Motor Skill Development with Silicone Toys
Supporting Milestones Through Play
Fine motor skills are so important for everyday milestones like writing, feeding and dressing. Baby Ellor’s threading and stacking toys have been brilliant for building hand strength and coordination in a playful, low-pressure way.
Because they’re made from silicone, they’re easy for small hands to grip but still offer some resistance to help with development. And when they end up in little mouths, there’s no need to panic.
Our Final Thoughts
While plastic toys are everywhere, many can release harmful chemicals or microplastics when heated or chilled. Wooden toys are lovely, but they don’t always hold up to the wear and tear of toddler life.
Silicone baby toys are a practical and safe alternative. They’re long-lasting, easy to clean, freezer and dishwasher friendly and gentle enough for babies. Whether it’s teething, sensory play, bath time or building fine motor skills, Baby Ellor’s toys fit seamlessly into everyday family life.
Megan, the mum behind Baby Ellor, understands what real-life play looks like and what parents truly need. Her collection is designed to grow with your children and support safe, sustainable fun at every stage.
