First Birthday Wish List Ideas
When my son's first birthday rolled around, one of the hardest things for me and my husband was deciding what we should get him and what we should put on his wishlist for family and friends. This list is perfect for anyone working on their childs fir...
Big Ticket Items
These are the items that we splurged on or asked for people to contribute to. For us, these are items that we really wanted, but wouldn't just buy on a regular day.
This was one of our top picks for our sons wish list. I absolutely love how this can grow with your child and it collapses. It is a bit pricey, but the fact that it folds down makes it worth it for us. It even can fit in the overhead compartment on a...
My son is obsessed with playing in water, so a water table was a no brainer. We started it without the legs and will add them on once he gets bigger.
If you have a child who is obssessed with being in the kitchen, this is perfect. It lets your child explore cooking with you and learn new everyday vocabulary. It folds down and can easily be stored.
Toys
We definitely put a ton of toys on our sons wishlist. We felt that he had outgrown a lot of what he was playing with and wanted to add things that he could use over the next year.
My son is obsessed with cleaning and always wants to help me sweep. The suggested age on this is 3+, but it has not stopped my son from using it at all at our house.
These puzzles are great because they are simple and have knobs. My son just turned one and loves exploring the idea of using a puzzle. He still hasn't gotten the hand of putting the pieces in, but he loves picking them up and banging the pieces toget...
These cars are awesome! The cloth portion can be removed and cleaned. My son loves how easily he can grab them and he is able to "drive" them all around whenever he plays with them.
This is an item that my son does not personally have, but all of his friends who have it love it. I really wanted to put it on our list, but we already have two other push carts. I love the fact that this one does not make any sound or light up.
For my son's birthday wish list, I really tried to focus on toys that did not light up. My son has loved this toy because there are so many different things to do. He even said duck for the first time while playing with the little ducks on top.
This toy has so many amazing settings! My son loves watching all the popping birds move up and down as he plays. I as a mom love that this feature can be turned on and off.
I think this toy is amazing because it can be used with pretty much any age range and has a lot to offer.
My son's favorite part of this toy is the hammer. He loves using it with this toy and on other things. I personally love how the xylophone comes off.
This toy is meant for 20 months plus but can be used earlier with parent help. It is a wonderful stacking toy. My son is 12 months and already enjoys it.
My son is obsessed with these cars. They are so easy to pull back and release.
My son loves pushing this around. It makes my heart happy as someone who loves Target. This is a great toy that can grow with a child into the pretend play stage.
These are so much fun! My son is 12 months and still is learning how to use these. Right now he spends a majority of his time handing them to me and taking apart what I build.
This is a toy that can grow with your child. We have the smaller pieces put away.
Books
We put books on his wish list that were interactive.
I loved adding new books to my son's wish list. He has been loving interacting with this book and feeling the different parts of it.
My son is obsessed with sharks, so this was a no brainer.
Board books like these are amazing because there is something for your little one to do on every page. My kiddo is at the point where he will only read books like this.
We love this flap book!
These books are tiny but mighty. They help with vocabulary development.
Outside
My son is obsessed with this swing. It's awesome to have one at home.
