Turning one is an exciting milestone, with little ones becoming increasingly curious, active and eager to explore the world around them. From stacking their first blocks and discovering shapes to experimenting with sounds and enjoying simple pretend play, toys suitable from 12 months+ offer plenty of opportunities to practise new skills and build confidence.
Our carefully selected range of toys for 1-year-olds brings together engaging activities that encourage movement, sensory discovery and early learning. Whether you're shopping for a first birthday present or looking for toys to keep your growing toddler entertained, these purposeful play favourites encourage exploration and discovery at their own pace.
- Fine motor development: Stacking, sorting, grasping and manipulating toys helps strengthen little hands and improve dexterity.
- Problem-solving skills: Shape sorters, stacking toys and simple puzzles encourage toddlers to experiment, recognise shapes and discover how things fit together.
- Gross motor development: Push and pull toys and other active play favourites encourage movement, balance and coordination as toddlers become more mobile.
- Language and communication: Musical toys, interactive activities and early pretend play encourage toddlers to explore sounds, words and everyday experiences.
- Confidence and independence: Hands-on activities encourage little ones to make choices, explore new challenges and celebrate their growing abilities.
