Best Baby Toys for 1 Year Old

Some of the best toys for one year old kids are the traditional toys that you and maybe your parents played with. An old style toy that remains popular today is a set of wooden alphabet blocks. The blocks are the perfect size for small hands to grasp and pile into a tower. The child is having fun while learning about balance and when he knocks them down, he is learning about gravity. An added benefit is that these blocks are equally popular toys for 4 year old boys and girls. A baby may pile one or two blocks and a four year old will use the blocks for letter recognition and early word skills.

Another classic toy that could be considered one of the best toys for 1 year old children is jumbo stringing beads. The old styled beads were originally made of wood and the newer ones may be wood or plastic. For such a simple toy, it offers the chance to practice so many skills. The beads are super for color recognition and fine motor movements. As the child gets older the beads are particularly good for early math skills. The younger one may learn about making patterns and sequences or practice sorting and one to one correspondence. A 3 or 4 year old will use the beads for counting, adding and subtracting.

When my children were little, many years ago, I would give them colorful plastic juice cups to play with. My boys would sort cheerios or maybe animal crackers in the cups and dump them out. They would match jumbo stringing beads to the same color cup. Again this was a simple traditional toy which was one of the best baby toys for 1 year old kids. Nowadays you can buy colorful sturdy sorting cups with matching cute plastic counting bears. It’s a newer twist on an old fashioned toy.     

I don’t think toddler sized pegs and pegboards have been around as long as alphabet blocks and stringing beads, but they are a staple in any good daycare or preschool. These are so good for fine motor skills, color recognition and basic math skills. And this is another toy that is great for different developmental levels. One year olds will practice their fine motor skills and older children will make elaborate patterns.

Sets of jumbo sized stringing beads are excellent teaching toys for toddlers . Besides practicing fine motor skills and eye hand coordination, toddlers can be exposed to many new ideas. Here’s how parents and caregivers can help. To improve color recognition, point out the colors of the beads as your toddler strings them. She will soon be identifying those colors on her own. As a further challenge, have your toddler match the color of a bead with things in the room. Be sure to point out the varying shades of the same color; you will find out that recognising colors is harder than you thought! Use the beads as teaching toys for toddlers when you help them learn about numbers.Count the beads as your child places them on the string.

I Love Toddlers ; Toys for Toddlers

I love toddlers. Toddlers have passed infancy but are still preschool age. They are aware of their world and are exploring everything. They are tenacious – they walk and stumble, then laugh or cry and go at it one more time.Toddlers start to imitate adults in their life; they may be using child sized mops and brooms to be like their parents. They are practicing fine motor skills by piling blocks and using large wooden puzzles and shape sorters. They may be trying to use child safety scissors. Everything is new and novel and exciting.
