Toys for 1 Year Olds

The best toys for 1 year olds keep up with a toddler who is learning to walk, point, stack and copy everything they see. Our toys for 1 year olds and 18 month olds include wooden walkers, shape sorters, stacking towers and first dolls, all chosen to encourage movement, fine motor skills and early pretend play.

Many parents look for wooden toys for a 1 year old, or Montessori toys for 1 year olds that do one thing well. Pounding benches, stacking rainbows and simple puzzles fit that approach beautifully. Our baby walkers support those first steps, and our wider wooden toys collection has plenty more to explore. See all our toddler toys for ages 1 to 3.
