One year olds are always on the go, literally crawling and taking their
first steps, and figuratively, with their imaginations. That's why so many baby
and toddler toys are geared towards developing their imagination, exploring
their world, or growing their muscles. Check out some of our favourites.
· Bath Time Fun
Now
that they're a bit older, one-year olds are more used to bath time and they love
playing in the tub, especially if they have some toys to splash with. They'll
love any type of toy that squirts and floats in the tub. While rubber duckies
are great, try to experiment with floating boats or even a waterproof book. You
can find some fun bath ideas when you shop online at
www.babygiftbox.com.au, complete with a high-quality
velour towel, colourful toys, and splash book.
· Classic Learning Toys
Remember
the classic
wooden toys from your childhood or even that your parents
talked about? Those are making a comeback, such as the Shape Sorter or the
Stacking Toy. Shape sorters help older babies and toddlers develop early
problem solving skills while learning shapes and deciphering which spots they
fit into. You can find classic square box ones, as well as the more whimsical
ones shaped like farm animals. Nesting
or stacking toys teach young toddlers how smaller objects fit into the larger
ones by stacking, and that you can knock them over and begin again.
· Building Blocks
Going
along with a classic toy theme, one year olds are fascinated with building towers
and then knocking them over. Besides being lots of fun, it helps them build
hand-eye coordination skills. Try some chunky Legos that their little hands can
easily grasp and manipulate.
· Musical Instruments
There
is nothing a one-year-old likes more than to bang things and make noise. If you
think the parents won’t mind the noise, consider gifting them a set of musical
instruments. Aim to find one with several instruments, such as a xylophone, a
drum, or a guitar.
· Toy phone
These
aren't the old fashioned play phones from years ago. These popular gadgets are
interactive, featuring sounds and games to teach babies and toddlers their
letters and numbers to catchy tunes.
· Play kitchen/Shopping Cart
Play
kitchens, shopping carts, and toy food allow young children to use their
imaginations and preparing pretend meals for several years. You can find
several durable options, some of which even grow with child from very basic to
having more "bells and whistles," like glowing stove burners or ovens
that light up.
· Ride on Toys
As
one-year-olds love exploring, they will love ride on toys to help them get
around the house or even outside. You'll
find so many options from classic Radio Flyer wagons to car and fire truck
themed ride on toys. Nowadays, you'll find just as many Disney-themed and
Sesame Street-themed ride on toys as you will with classic ones.
These are just some of our favourite ideas if you need some quick ideas
for a first birthday party. Remember, besides hip toys, you can never go wrong with
a personalised gift.
