Top Ten Toys for a 1 Year Old Child
All of us know someone with children. At some point in your life, you will be asked to purchase a toy for a 1 year old. This can be a daunting task. An important thing to remember is the activity level of the 1 year old in question. If this is a baby that is very active, something to
play sitting still is probably not going to interest them. A movie would not be a great choice in this case. For a child that is not very active or is not walking or showing signs of walking yet, an outside ride on toy would probably not be the best choice. Here is my top ten list of toys for 1 year olds of all types.
10. A water/sand table like the Step 2 Sand and Water Activity Center. Babies this age love to put their hands in things. A water/sand table allows them to play with their hands and build fine motor skills. It can gives a child that is not standing on their own yet something to lean on and still be able to play standing up. For a smaller mess, you can use water in the table and maybe set it outside. This would be a great way to cool off. For those brave souls, you can use sand. Just make sure you get play sand and they don’t eat it.
9. Every kid needs a little red wagon. I like the Radio Flyer brand. The great thing about this is it is a toy that can grow with them. For those non-active kids, this provides something to ride in, for those active kids it is something to haul things in. An added bonus is that it helps parents by giving them something to carry kids, or other things, in as well.
8. The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Home playset. This is awesome because it gives kids a chance to crawl around, walk through, pull up on, and sit and play at. This is a great toy that will grow with them as well.
7. The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Learning Puppy. This has been a favorite toy of every child I have ever known to get it. It has a music mode as well as a learning mode. This will provide countless hours of fun.
6. The Fisher Price Barnyard Bowling set will allow children to learn to handle a ball and roll it. they can also learn how to set the pins back up. Everyone knows kids like to knock things down, so this would be a great gift, especially for those on a budget.
