All this time we thought Shakira was busy simply cooking up a new addition to her family, when she was also developing a new line of toys to help babies around the world. Working with Fisher Price, an expecting Shakira has codeveloped the six pieces in the Shakira First Steps collection and is launching a web series aimed at millennial moms.

The toy collection is designed to stimulate little ones' development and includes adorable versions of Fisher Price's traditional musical bouncer, a soft book, alphabet blocks, and a musical soccer ball — a not-so-subtle ode to the Grammy-winning singer's boyfriend, Gerard Piqué, a member of the FC Barcelona squad. The collection is available for preorder on Amazon starting today. Shakira's fee for developing the line will be donated directly to her Barefoot Foundation, a nonprofit organization providing education and food to children in impoverished areas throughout Latin America.

A coordinating 12-part web series — debuting today — will feature Shakira (and sometimes her 21-month-old son, Milan) in minute-long episodes sharing her personal experiences raising her son. Expect to see the Voice costar detailing her favorite activities to do with Milan, marveling at motherhood, and celebrating babies' growth.

"I try to put myself in my baby's world and see things through his eyes, so we're discovering things together," Shakira tells us.
