One-year-olds are probably the easiest age groups to give gifts too. For one, they can’t talk yet, so they can’t really complain if you give them socks or a sweater for Christmas. On the other hand, they’re generally easy to please (just look at how delighted they are to run away with your TV remote control or your house keys).
Kidding aside, if you’re on the hunt for the best gifts for a 1-year-old, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re looking for toys for a girl or a boy, here are suggestions for giving gifts for one-year-olds.
1 Year Old Safe Baby Toys
If you’re giving gifts for 1-year-olds, make sure to check for safety certifications. Steer clear of toys that have small parts (like small screws, bolts, or washers), as these could come loose and pose a choking hazard. Also, make sure that toy components are made of non-toxic, hypoallergenic material, since babies are especially fond of putting anything they can get a hold of inside their mouths.
Featured Toy: TOP BRIGHT’s 1 Year Old Activity Cube playset is made from unvarnished natural solid wood with polished edges and non-toxic water-based paint with no lead and burr.
Give Multipurpose Gifts
Gifts that serve more than one purpose not only give you more value for your money, they’re likely going to be useful for longer too. For example, if you’re thinking of buying a push walker, look for one that doubles as an activity center (like the Hape Wonder Walker Push And Pull Toddler Trainer) or is bundled with other toys (like the Hape Block and Roll Cart that comes preloaded with colorful puzzle blocks).
Or if you’re looking to give ride-on toys for a 1-year-old, choose one that comes with adjustable seats or those that can be used more than one way, like the Hikole Kick Scooter that comes with foldable seats, or the Ybike Pewi Ride-on Walking Toy, which can be used initially as a push walker and, later on, a ride-on pedal-free bike.
Give Age-appropriate Toys
Don’t be in such a hurry to give a one-year-old high-tech toys or toys that come with really sophisticated, detailed parts. Some of the best toys for a 1-year-old are those that they can interact with and those that allow them to develop their motor skills and may be simple wooden toys or soft, plush stuffed animals. Here are some suggestions:
- Whack And Learn Mole – It may seem like a silly toy, but this award-winning toy is actually good for enhancing coordination and fine motor skills, as well as teaching young children about cause and effect.
- iPlay, iLearn Baby’s Plush Stacking Rings – These colorful, chunky, and soft plush stacking rings that come with different sounds and textures are perfect for multisensory play; they’re great for developing hand-eye coordination and logical thinking too.
- Cloth books – Soft cloth books that come with simple illustrations and words are a perfect way to introduce young minds to language
