Quick answer
For a first age gift set, choose the Papo Baby Coffret fille 1er âge (Zoé & Bisou) if you're looking for a princess-themed set, or the Coffret garçon 1er âge (Léo & Bisou) for a prince-themed option. Both include a soft pony companion and are designed to support sensory play and motor skill development.

Why a first age gift set matters
A first age gift set is more than just a toy—it's a tool for early development. The first year of life is critical for sensory exploration and motor skill building, and the right set can encourage grasping, mouthing, and imaginative play. Papo Baby's sets are specifically designed with these milestones in mind, featuring rounded shapes and safe materials that babies can explore freely.
What each set includes and how they differ
Both the Coffret fille 1er âge and Coffret garçon 1er âge include a human figurine and the same pony, Bisou. The difference is the human figurine: Zoé (a princess in a pink dress) for the girl set, and Léo (a little prince) for the boy set. This makes the choice largely about aesthetic preference or the gender of the recipient. Both sets are priced identically at USD 18.77 (compared to USD 29.80), offering the same developmental value.
The role of Bisou the pony
Bisou the pony is a standout feature of both sets. With a soft mane and gentle expression, it is designed to be easy for tiny hands to hold and even safe to chew, which can help soothe teething discomfort. If you already have one of the sets, you might consider buying Bisou separately (USD 8.99) as a spare or for a second child.
How to choose the right first age gift set
- Consider the theme: If you prefer a princess theme with a pink dress, choose the Coffret fille 1er âge (Zoé & Bisou). For a prince theme, choose the Coffret garçon 1er âge (Léo & Bisou). Both are equally suited for sensory play.
- Check for safety and size: Ensure the figurines are large enough to prevent choking hazards and are made from safe, chewable materials. Papo Baby figurines are designed to be mouthed safely, making them suitable for teething babies. Always supervise play and inspect for wear.
- Think about future play: If you plan to expand the collection, note that Bisou the pony is sold separately. Starting with a set gives you a human character and a pony, which can be combined with other Papo Baby figures later. Consider buying the standalone Bisou if you want a second pony for siblings or as a replacement.
