We have broken down our favorite gift ideas into categories that help reach different milestones or promote ways a 1-year-old learns about their environment. 1 Best Developmentally Appropriate Gifts Push and Go Car Toys Buy Here Mine to Love Jenna Doll Buy Here Chatter Phone Buy Here Baby's First Birthday Book Buy Here Baby Bear Board Book Buy Here Rainbow Fish Board Book Buy Here Baby Animals Board Book Buy Here Touch and Teach Elephant Buy Here Never Touch a Monster Book Buy Here Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Book Buy Here Einstein Box Buy Here Talking Flash Cards Buy Here LeapFrog Portable Book Buy Here Chomp and Count Dino Buy Here By 1 year of age, a child will start to enjoy the experience of having a parent or other adult play with their toys with them. They may begin to bring you things to play with, such as cars, baby dolls, or the beloved play phone (“ring-ring” — everyone answers the phone no matter what!). Storybooks with bright pictures, books with interesting characters, or “touch and feel” books are a great idea to keep the child interested all the way through. 1-year-olds enjoy peek-a-boo and patty cake, and there are plenty of toy options that sing or play games with them. 2 Best Toys for Cognitive Development and Motor Skills Wooden Activity Cube Buy Here Laugh and Learn Wagon Buy Here Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog Buy Here Take Along Tunes Buy Here Wooden Baby Walker Buy Here Cozy Coupe Buy Here Blocks Buy Here Puzzles Buy Here Magnetic Blocks Buy Here Corn Popper Buy Here Wagon Buy Here Basketball Hoop Buy Here Foam Letters and Numbers Buy Here Magnetic Doodle Board Buy Here Wooden Pound and Play Buy Here Dimpl Butterfly Buy Here Fat Brain Toys Klickity Buy Here Multifunctional House Toy Buy Here Busy Board Buy Here Sensory Blocks Buy Here Cognitive development is starting to take off at this age, as well. Cognitive development is the thought process of remembering, problem-solving, and decision-making.1 Children want to explore more on their own and learn every little thing about what they are playing with, such as what happens when you throw, bang, or shake an object. Handheld toys that are easy to grasp are perfect for practicing these skills! Around this time, too, they are probably on the move or very close! Toy walkers or ride-on toys are fantastic for helping their motor skills develop. 3 Best Gifts for Facilitating Pretend Play Shopping Cart Buy Here Baby Stella Doll Buy Here Nursing Pets Buy Here Unicorn Pet Carrier Buy Here Medical Kit Buy Here Camping Toy Buy Here Play Kitchen Buy Here Cutting Fruit Set Buy Here Farm Animals With Barn Buy Here Laugh and Learn Puppy Remote Buy Here Smart Phone Buy Here Brilliant Baby Laptop Buy Here Learning Tablet Buy Here Musical Instruments Buy Here Car Activity Center Buy Here Wooden Hammer Toy Buy Here Garden Playhouse Buy Here Playing pretend is also fun for young toddlers. Toys that facilitate pretend play include dolls, pets with pet carriers, doctor kits, camping sets, kitchens, shopping carts, play food, and playhouses. They want to play with everything that mimics what they see mom or dad doing daily, like remotes, phones, laptops, and tablets. Lots of these toys have lessons with songs and music to teach kids colors, numbers, shapes, and letters. 4 Practical or Useful Gifts Backpack Buy Here Character Plates and Bowls Buy Here Sippy Cups Buy Here Table and Chairs Buy Here Toddler Chair Buy Here Toy Storage Buy Here Play-Doh Arts and Crafts Table Buy Here 4-n-1 Puzzles Buy Here To go further with these ideas, pick something up to keep your chosen gift organized. When my boys get Play-Doh, I love it when it comes in a bin so I can store it neatly when they are done. That way, it’s all away and on the shelf, and when they want the Play-Doh again, I can just grab one bin. Similarly, they received a set of puzzles one year, and it came with a stand so that after they were done, we could slide each puzzle into the slot and put it up on the shelf, and everything was together. 5 Gifts That Encourage Outdoor Play Modern Outdoor Playhouse Buy Here Crawl Through Tunnel Buy Here Teepee Tent Buy Here Workbench Buy Here Slide Buy Here Trampoline Buy Here Truck Buy Here Sandbox Buy Here Water and Sand Table Buy Here Ball Pit Buy Here Bubble Lawn Mower Buy Here Outdoor play is essential for young children’s growth, health, and development.2 Encouraging kiddos to get outside and get their wiggles out is also vital for mom and dad’s sanity! Here are several unique gifts that will promote more outdoor adventures! MORE UNIQUE GIFT IDEAS Here are some non-traditional gifts you can give to a 1-year-old and their family: THE GIFT OF EXPERIENCE If parents are opting for no gifts or more of an “experience” type of gift, passes to the zoo, a local water park or splash pad, Legoland, or a local indoor play park would be fun and something the whole family could enjoy. You could also ask the parents about upcoming vacations or classes and help with the fees or equipment needed. For example, if they plan to take a swim class, you could get them a new swimsuit or swim trunks, a cute towel, and a wet bag to throw their wet clothes in after class. It is helpful to the parents and fun to know you played a part in an activity they love. SOMETHING TO MAKE MOM AND DAD’S LIFE EASIER A fun gift option for the parents is offering a couple of nights a year of volunteering for child care. You could wrap up cute coupons or a calendar marked with “date nights” written in. Whenever free child care is an option with people we love and trust, it makes for a much more enjoyable date night, and the trade-off of hanging out with a sweet little one isn’t so bad either. Whether you opt for a traditional toy, a not-so-traditional “experience” gift, or just the gift of your time, I hope this guide on the best gifts for 1-year-olds has sparked something new for you. Hopefully, you’re excited to attend that birthday party or other event and have confidence in your gift choice! * Babies: Newborn - 2 yrs * Birthdays * Guides * Guides View Sources +- At Baby Chick, we consult and analyze information from reliable authorities in their respective fields to support our research and writing.
