Toys my young 1 year old actually plays with!
14
items I feel like the 1 year old range is so hard to know what toys to get, because the difference between what a 13 month old and a 20 month old can engage with are completely different! So here are things my barely 1 year old actually engages with repeat...

This is the absolute cutest! When we first got it she liked pushing it to make it sing and watching us build ice cream cones. At 14 months she uses the scooper to build cones herself and pretends to eat them, gives them to us to eat, and feeds them t...
LeapFrog Scoop and Learn Ice Cream Cart
This table has been a favorite from 10 months on and she still plays with it daily! It is very interactive and she can do her two favorite activities with it; pushing buttons and flipping switches!
Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Activity Table
Physical skill builders
My daughter got these about two months after she started walking and the timing was absolutely perfect. The slight curve on these, along with the uneven surface, helped her practice stepping up, balancing, and the sensory aspect of feeling something ...
Tiny Land 5pcs Non-Slip Toddler Stepping Stones
The first month we had this it was mostly me putting the rings on or her getting frustrated trying. By 14 months she is starting to get pretty good at getting them on herself and she loves watching them spin down after she gets them on!
JUXUE Baby Spinning Stacking Toys 1-3 Yrs
This is a constant favorite in our house! Because she'd seen the box in Ms Rachel videos, she understood that she could take things out right off the bat. She now takes things out and puts things back in, and also uses the little toys inside when she...
Ms. Rachel Surprise Learning Box Baby Toy
My daughter is OBSESSED with these! She will sit on the floor in front of our fridge and play for 20 minutes, easy. Right now it is helping her fine motor and problem solving as she pulls them off the fridge and figures out how to manipulate them to ...
Large Magnetic Animal Alphabet Letters
Smaller interactive toys
We are a ride or die Ms. Rachel household, and this doll is an absolute must have. One hand says cute phrases from her videos and the other hand sings clips from songs that are longer than we expected. She carries this everywhere and is usually askin...
Ms. Rachel Speak & Sing Doll
This is big enough that she can drive it around and she loves pushing the balls into the dump truck. They take just enough force that she has to push a bit but not so much that she needed help after the first few times.
VTech Drop and Go Dump Truck Yellow
This is a classic for a reason! She loves pulling this around, especially since it pops whether she is pushing or pulling it.
Fisher-Price Blue Corn Popper Push-Along Toy
She is just starting to be able to use this now. The slot for the coins is pretty small so there is still a lot of frustration but she pouring them all out of the stomach and pressing the nose to make it sing.
FISHER-PRICE LAUGH & LEARN Smart Stages Piggy Bank
Another classic for a reason, my daughter loves animals already and loves pushing them in and out of the gate. This is definitely one that she'll be able to continue playing with as she gets older, which we love!
Fisher-Price Little People Caring for Animals Farm
Outdoor toys
She absolutely LOVES this playset! She definitely can't do the slide by herself yet, so we only pull this out of the shed when we can sit with her and completely supervise. She loves climbing under it and dropping balls down just as much as she likes...
Play Ball Fun Climber™
There are a LOT of options for water tables out there, but we've found Step2 products are always sturdy, go together nicely, and seem like they'll last for a few years. My 14 month old is a giant and tends to lean/climb on everything right now, so st...
Sand and Water Play Tables
We're just getting into bubbles and she loves that she can push it around, pause to chase bubbles, then go back to pushing!
