My Little one is turning 1 and people are asking me what to get her for her birthday. Any great toys or gifts that kept your little one entertained and learning at this age?
Thanks
My daughter just turned one and her favorites are a Fisher Price stroller that she can push around, one of the little activity tables that you stand at and push buttons to make noises or make the ball popper in the center work, the little kitchen with a blender, and the Parent's Magazine Bee Bop Band. Happy Birthday!
My little one recvd the busy ball popper from playskool and loves it! he plays with it all day long.
Hi K.-
My 1 year old daughter LOVES her push cart. Also her wee-ride bike seat.
You could also ask for memberships to local gardens, amusement parks, or children's museums. Or you could have people choose gifts for the needy (possible to set up a registry in your daughter's name at heifer.com- donate chicks, sheep, etc. to people in developing countries).
Congrats on surviving the first year!
Baby dolls are great, my daughter has toted them around since she was walking. She loves anything musical, shakers, pretend guitars, little piano, bongo's, microphone, etc. Of course, us as parents don't always like the noisy ones, but the little ones do love them! Her favorite (still) is drawing in the bathtub with the bath crayons or bath chalk. FUN!
My son LOVES the wooden blocks he got fir his first birthday. He's 18 months now and plays with them every day! Not sure if that's a boy thing or not but I woudl definitely recommend basic wooden blocks. Good luck!

Happy Birthday little One.
My standard 1st birthday gift (because all 3 of my kids loved theirs) is a ride on toy. You know the ones you can either ride on or stand behind and push. There are some for around 20 dollars on up. Leaf frog makes a great one if you can find it. It has all the push buttons that sing songs and teach colors and numbers - The sounds might drive you crazy because when they first get it all they want to do is push the buttons, but you can always take the batteries out. LOL But this has been a winner with all of my kids.
Congratulations on you little one. Enjoy!
