Play tents are incredibly fun for 1-year-olds, providing a space for imaginative play. Toki Mats offers high-quality products that are durable and safe for little ones to enjoy.
2. Wagon for all of their toys
This will be the year that your 1 year old starts walking if they haven't already and there is nothing that my kids loved more than filling up their little wagons and pulling them all around the house. All of my kids got these around the age of 1 and they are still played with on a regular basis.
3. Blocks
When looking for gift ideas for 1-year-olds, consider items like blocks, which are great for developing motor skills and creativity, and a snuggly companion such as a plush toy in the shape of their favorite animal or character. Lovevery offers high-quality products that are perfect for little ones.
If you're looking to start with a smaller set, I can't recommend the quality of Everwood Friends enough.
This is one of those toys that has grown with my kids and has just been a blast! I actually would name this one my go-to gift to give for 1 year old birthdays. It isn't too expensive and is a blast for kids and continues to grow with them in how they play with it as they learn colors and advance to numbers.
We have the large version of the one below and it is so cool, I really just thought this looked like an adorable and more affordable version for the super littles-check out the bigger one at #9 below.
WOAH! This is a newer toy on the market and I am 100% getting it for any new niece or nephew I get in the future haha. Seriously tempted to get it for us now anyways and the reviews are amazing!
My mother-in-law has this toy at her house and it has been enjoyed by kids of all ages since my oldest was about a year old. Even my almost 6 year old still plays with it events all the way down to my youngest niece. Such a hit!
A CLASSIC that your kids will play with for years! I got this for my oldest when he was around a year and it's still one of the biggest hits in the house and always love a toy that is enjoyed with no batteries haha.
9. Spinning Toy
This is a toy that I find myself playing with often. It's so satisfying to watch and so fun for the kids to stack everything on!
10. Gear Puzzle
This is another one that a family member has at their house and the kids have been loving it for years. The newly one year old will just place single gears on it and spin usually and then as they grow start to match up the colors and turn the gears. Seriously a fun one!
I got this for my twins for their first birthday and they still love them! It's hard to tell from the photos but this is a giant version of the classic and it's so much fun!
12. Talking Books
We. have quite a few of these and they've been popular for years. It's great for working on speech development as this one reviews common words with a very light touch of the finger(and not in an exact spot) so great for any age.
13. Learning Train
Not only is this train a ride-on but there are so many fun ways to learn and play with it! I got this for my oldest for his first birthday and all of my kids STILL love it!
14. Learning Cube
This is another one that wasn't out when my kids were turning 1 but if it was I would have bought it. Looks like it's so packed of opportunities for learning and play that will grow with your child.

15. Phone Toy
An absolute classic that your 1 year old will play with for years! Got one for my oldest's first birthday gift idea and now all 3 of my boys have them and play with them daily pretending to call each other and various family members.
15. Spin and Learn
This one is such a fun learning toy that all of my kids have played with for years and a perfect way to start learning letters.
