Angels in the Outfield. Field of Dreams. The Sandlot. Rookie of the Year. A League of Their Own.
These are all baseball classics I can't wait to share with my twins, and I hope they love them as much as I do.
Another All-Star classic? The TotSports T-Ball Set by Little Tikes.
It's a hit. It's a catch. It's a steal.
And it's something I don't have to wait until they're older to introduce them to, which makes me very happy.
Hey, batter, batter...swing, batter
If you've read the children's book Each Peach Pear Plum by Allan and Janet Ahlberg, this toy gives a whole new meaning to, "I spy baby bunting."
Not that your twins will be bunting just yet, but this tee-ball set will have them well on their way as they work on perfecting their hand-eye coordination skills, placing the ball on the tee and hitting it with the bat.
The oversized bat is easy for smaller hands to grip but is lightweight and easy for your little ones to maneuver and control.
This set also incorporates an adjustable tee height, which means this toy will grow with your kiddos and you can adapt the set to match your children's evolving motor skills and batting skills.
There's no crying in baseball
The beautiful thing about this sport set is that you can use it for both independent or social, cooperative play, depending on the day.
If Baby A is working on a project or enjoying something else, Baby B can play as many innings as they want (as long as they stop for the seventh-inning stretch, of course).
Or, if both of your twins want to play ball, one can wait on-deck while the other goes three-up, three-down, and then they can switch who's on the field and who's at-bat.
Because of the team player aspect, one t-ball set is all you need to keep everyone happy.
(To read about what you actually need two of if you're having twins, though, read this deep dive).
This baseball set comes with five oversized plastic tee balls, instead of just two (which most other sets come with).
This is perfect for twins at play because then you aren't constantly playing rover to retrieve the balls.
Instead, you can focus all of your efforts on your umpire calls and gestures, because as we all know, the parent has the last call on all plays, fair or foul.
Little Tikes TotSports T-Ball Set
This is the TotSports T-Ball Set by Little Tikes. It comes with five plastic tee balls and the tee is adjustable, so it will grow with your toddlers and their love of the game.
On the diamond, in the dirt
If you're hoping your little ones really get into baseball and become the next Great Bambino or Shoeless Joe Jackson, you can use this baby all year round, indoors or outdoors.
Depending on your indoor set-up, you might be worried about using the included softballs inside. If so, you can give these foam baseballs a whirl with the Little Tikes tee.
Fastes Toddler Foam Practice Baseballs
This is a six-pack of lightweight, flexible foam baseballs for indoor and outdoor play. The non-toxic balls have a high stability and rich elasticity, which helps them hold up better to wear and tear.
They're soft and less likely to break something that might get in the way of a line drive. Plus, they're rainbow-colored, so your toddlers can practice their colors while they're playing ball.
In the major league
Parents can use this t-ball set to teach their little Cubbies (or Angels!) about the importance of sportsmanship, camaraderie, and being a team player.
The TotSports T-Ball Set by Little Tikes also allows your little ones to engage with each other and experience the elation that comes with team-building and success.
These positive playtime experiences can encourage your children to continue with the game and improve their skill set as they get older.
Adding this toy to your toddlers' arsenal of, "good-game, good-game," good-games will have your kids rounding third to the roar of the crowd and on their way to the big league, baby.
