Navigating the endless sea of plastic baby toys can feel overwhelming, especially when half of them end up discarded after a couple of weeks. While traditional hard plastic toys are common, they can be unforgiving on sore gums and prone to collecting hidden moisture and grime. The TickiT SiliSoft Baby Bundle takes a refreshingly practical approach. Packed with 23 individual pieces across eight distinct toy sets—including flexible balls, stacking cups, pop teethers, a flower spinner, and squirters—this collection uses 100% food-grade silicone to support early physical and sensory milestones. Fresh off winning gold in our Developmental Toy category, we put this soft-touch bundle to the test to see how it handles daily play and teething duty.
What We Liked About the TickiT SiliSoft Baby Bundle
Combining motor-skill development, teething relief, and tactile exploration into one coherent kit requires thoughtful design, and TickiT has delivered a masterclass in early-years play here.
- 100% Food-Grade, Ultra-Safe Silicone: Every single item in this 23-piece collection is made from LFGB and FDA-approved food-grade silicone. It is completely free from toxins, BPA, and phthalates, giving parents total peace of mind when babies chew, gum, and explore with their mouths.
- Encourages Key Physical Milestones: Rather than focusing on just one skill, the bundle covers a vast range of developmental stages. The rainbow stacking cups build hand-eye coordination, the flexi-balls encourage grasping and rolling, the flower spinner builds finger strength, and the pop teether engages fine motor control.
- Gentle and Injury-Free Play: Because silicone is inherently soft, flexible, and yielding, there are no hard corners or rigid edges. When energetic babies inevitably drop toys on their faces or tumble over while playing, these pieces flex safely without causing bumps or bruises.
- Exceptional Teething Relief: The varied textures across the crab teether, arch rattle, and sensory rings provide targeted relief for tender, inflamed gums. The squishy texture gives a satisfying bite-resistance that hard plastic simply can’t match.
- Hygienic and Easy to Clean: Silicone is naturally non-porous and bacteria-resistant. The smooth pieces can easily be sterilised, washed in warm soapy water, or wiped clean after sticky floor sessions, making them far easier to maintain than fabric alternatives.
- Thoughtful Mix of Rainbow and Neutral Tones: The set strikes a lovely visual balance. Bright rainbow colours are used on high-engagement items like the stacking cups and flexi-balls to draw visual interest, while soothing neutral tones are used for the teethers and spinners.
What Could Be Better
While this gold-winning set offers fantastic developmental depth, keeping a few practical playroom realities in mind will help families manage their expectations.
- Higher Upfront Outlay
Priced at around £65 to £75, buying the entire bundle represents a significant upfront investment. While buying the pieces together works out substantially cheaper than buying eight separate silicone toy sets individually, it remains a premium purchase best suited as a newborn hamper gift or a milestone buy. - Silicone Is a Magnet for Pet Hair
As with all soft silicone products, the matte texture can attract lint, dust, and pet hair if dropped on carpets. Fortunately, a quick rinse under the tap restores them to pristine condition immediately, but parents with hairy pets might find themselves rinsing pieces regularly. - Water Squirters Need Thorough Drying
The included animal squirters are brilliant for bath time fun, but like all bath squirters, internal moisture can build up if left full. Parents will want to make sure they squeeze out all water thoroughly and let them air-dry completely after bath play to keep them fresh. - Are They Worth Buying?
For parents, grandparents, or baby shower gift-buyers looking for a comprehensive, plastic-free developmental kit that grows with a baby from birth through toddlerhood, this bundle delivers superb long-term value.
It eliminates the need to constantly buy individual teethers and baby toys every few weeks. Newborns benefit immediately from the soft teethers and rattles, while older babies transition seamlessly into stacking, popping, spinning, and imaginative water play.
However, if you already own a full collection of silicone teethers and stacking cups, buying the complete bundle might result in a few duplicate items. But for anyone starting from scratch, it serves as an all-in-one starter kit for early-years development.
Final Verdict
The TickiT SiliSoft Baby Bundle thoroughly deserves its gold medal in our developmental category. By offering 23 high-grade silicone pieces that target teething, motor skills, and sensory discovery in one safe, hygienic box, TickiT has created an essential kit for growing babies. While it requires a bit of upfront investment, the quality, safety, and sheer variety of play on offer make it an absolute winner for any new nursery.
Final Score: 9.5/10
