Everyone who knows and loves you and your baby will want to give them a special something for their first birthday. Truth is, your baby will be more interested in the wrapping paper, as everyone says. But there are some toys they’ll find more irresistible than others and that will keep them happy till their next birthday. So, when anyone asks what to get for your one year old, here are a few ideas… One year olds love doing the same thing over and again so they’ll have great fun with a set of stacking rings they can take apart and put together or a box or bucket of bricks that they can empty and fill. Their little fingers are getting pretty dextrous and love jabbing at things, so a simple wooden lift out puzzle or baby keyboard will keep them entertained. Sturdy lift the flap type books with single image pictures and just a few words will captivate a curious one year old. They may be on their way to walking or taking their first tottering steps. Either way, a sturdy push along toy will help them find their feet. A one year old loves hearing funny noises, especially when he can set them off with a squeeze or a jab. So toys that talk, whizz, zip, rattle, or bleep have big appeal. A toy phone or talking soft toy should be well received by Mr or Ms One. Tots this age love things that roll, float or can be thrown about. A bag of light plastic balls, like the ones you find in soft play zones are great fun, safe to play with and low on damage to household objects. Bathtime is more appealing with a few toys to splash about with so bath toys for squeezing, pouring, dunking and filling will be a hit. Bring music to their ears. The youngest children love hearing songs and moving to music, whether it’s nursery rhymes, action songs, classical or a compilation.
