While for the most part we as parents want the toys we give and purchase for our babies to be functional and get lots of enjoyment by baby for quite a long time. Some toys are even so great that they live on well past the first child, and are lovingly handed down, tattered but no worse for wear, to the next sibling in line. But sometimes it’s fun and special to have a toy or two that are put on display in baby’s nursery. Of course they can and should be played with if the need and time arises. But when set on a bookshelf, or sitting atop a nightstand, these little toys add a special touch, a bit of charm if you will, to baby’s nursery. Here are 8 unique toys that can be played with, or put on display to add a special touch of decor to baby’s nursery.

Sitting 2 feet tall, this adorable stuffed animal is made with love and care. Hand embroidered face, soft brushed wool, and Liberty of London print kerchief are just a few of the details that make this stuffed animal one to love and treasure. Via Amelia Presents
Wooden Moveable Alligator
This alligator is made with such care, it is almost indestructible, so allow your young one to play with it, or keep it on a shelf for a quirky touch to the nursery. Made of new growth beech wood, with elastic band muscles to take lots of wear and tear. Find the alligator, and other wooden animals at Amelia Presents
