I'm in need of 7 flat design icons for our Montessori-inspired website. These icons will primarily serve as navigational tools for our users.
Objective:

• Description: A simple baby rattle with a rounded handle and a bell at the end. The rattle should have soft curves and a striped pattern.

2. Infants (6-12 months): Baby Crawling
• Description: An icon depicting a baby on all fours, crawling. The baby should have a rounded, soft look with simple lines.
• Colors: Natural Oak (#C3A38A) for the baby’s body, with Sky Blue (#87CEEB) accents for clothing.
3. Toddlers (1-3 years): Child Stacking Blocks

4. Preschoolers (3-6 years): Child Drawing with Crayon
• Description: A child holding a crayon and drawing on a piece of paper. The crayon should be prominent.

5. Early Elementary (6-9 years): Book and Apple

7. Adolescents (12-18 years): Graduation Cap

• Colors: Natural Oak (#C3A38A) for the cap, with Blush Pink (#FFC1C1) and Ivory Cream (#FFFFF0) accents for the tassel and cap details.
Overall Style:
