Amazing Toys/Gift Ideas for a First Birthday. (Tried and Tested)
17
items I really struggled finding gift ideas for our 1 yr old that were age and developementally appropriate. These ones have been a hit so far!
Our son absolutley loved this in the Summer Months. Keeps him protected from the sun and still shallow enough that he can crawl around.
Bestway Canopy Play Pool Canopy Play Pool
Loved using the Xylophone by itself. Had to take the red stick away when he started chewing on it then the hammer when he started using it elsewhere.
Hape - Pound & Tap Bench with Slide Out Xylophone
The giggles and little squeals when our LO is using this are 100% worth every dollar.
2 in 1 Swing Set
We didnt get one of these but have been wanting one for a while! Something for the car that is safe to use.
Montessori Busy Book
Did get this one probably a bit early on but am excited to use with our LO. They love nothing more than having a sticky beak when Mums in the kitchen.
Kids Step Stool , Table and Learning Tower
Got this to ease the transition from Co-Sleeping to sleeping in his own bed. Every setting can be turned on/off if your bub gets easily distracted like mine.
Soothe 'N Snuggle Otter Plush Toy
This one is a bit of a dupe for the Lovevery sets without the price tag. Loves putting the shapes in the slots. Tries to eat the carrots.
Wooden Activity Set
These have been great to replace when bub tries to chew his toys. Easy for them to hold and fun to play with.
Silicone Teethers
These were sooo cute but don't have much luck getting the LO to keep these on.
Baby Polarized Sunglasses 0-24M
Absolutely Love this! The colour is gorgeous and the amount of balls its comes with is pretty generous. Our LO loves getting in and out. Just be prepared to be picking up the balls for the rest of your days.
Ballpit
Love this as it has the shifter and the key start. LO just started loving this at 1yr and 3 Months. Favourite thing is putting the key in and starting it up.
Montessori Car Busy Board
Another Great toy our LO has started loving. At first he was happy to tip them off and play with the pieces but now loves trying to get them back on and watching them spin.
Rainbow Spinning Stacking Toys
Great way to teach cause and effect! LO Loves smacking them back down with his hands. We did have to hide the Hammer.
Pop Up Toy
We had one similar to this but it was awesome for getting bub to learn to stand up steadily and play. The beads ontop were the most fun at 10 months when he got this. Only caution is making it more weighted as he kept using this to pull himself up an...
Disney Wooden Activity Station
Our LO loves to tip these out everywhere and bring us food from the basket. Awesome learning tool and teaching method to get them to help cleanup. Just a note, Throw out the cardboard pieces, Our LO tried to eat them.
Grocery Shopping Basket
This is one that came out after we had finished looking at what to get. There were alot of very expense tables on the market but of course Kmart comes out with it soon after its no longer required. (For us anyway).
Wooden Activity Table
If you want your LO to start running than this is the product for you! This was a first birthday gift from a grandparent and let me tell you without the seat attachment our LO was flyng around corners and up and down the hallway! He had already been ...
