Each of the 10 blocks is hand-sculpted, and the sides are decorated with animals, numerals, and shapes that create different textures. Great for sensory play and fine motor skill development, these colorful balls and beads click together, stack, and can be played with in so many different ways. They’re safe for kids between 10 and 36 months and are made from plastic that can be easily wiped clean.
I’m not sure if dress-up counts as toys, but my boys are all about pretend so we stocked up on the post Halloween sales and got various masks, hats, capes, tails, etc. My 2 & 4 yr old boys will have a blast being knights, dragons, superheros, transformers, animals, etc. We also like to go with clothes for the kids for Christmas. Or any type of opportunity to create memories like a trip somewhere.
Little Tikes T-Ball Set
It measures 36 x 28 inches, is made with super-soft fabrics and is filled just enough to keep it fluffy without being too plush. Shopping for 1-year-olds can be a challenge since you'll need to find a toy or item that's safe, age-appropriate, and, most importantly, something they'll really use and enjoy. Other important features to look for include durability and ease of cleaning. We researched the top options from trusted brands with these features in mind. This one lights up (can replace a night-light) and plays different sounds. There are a ton of options for both and our kids love picking out the lights and sounds each night before bed.
Coin collecting can be an educational and fun activity which is why it’s one of the best gifts for kids that aren’t toys. Whether it's a calendar with kittens on it or a homemade calendar with family photos, a calendar provides a sense of connectedness to what's going on in the family. Give a gift that will help your child observe and interact with nature on a regular basis. If your child or grandchild loves to really get in and study things, a high-quality kid's microscope also be a great gift (for studying puddle water, of course!). If you are dreading the onslaught of stuffies and toys that are sure to come with your baby’s first birthday, consider asking for these useful gifts instead.
Coloring and activity books (One of the most traditional non-toy gifts for kids)
Be it dance, art, athletics, horseback riding, music, storytelling, or carpentry, give your child a chance to enhance their skills doing something they love or want to learn. The only word of caution here is to book the classes before you gift them – it's all too easy to promise this gift and then not follow through on actually booking them. Also, for the sake of clutter, you might not want to consider these items anyway. Monopoly (get the Elf edition for the holidays!) and PayDay have been popular and help cement math skills. Memory games are great for younger children.
My kids used them for the down payments to purchase their first homes. Snow boots or rubber boots are especially helpful. For the little cowboy or cowgirl, having a special pair of cowboy boots is super exciting.
Pewi Walking Ride On Toy
They are comfortable to hold and facilitates discovery and exploration. You can help your play with the ball by rolling it at them for them to rolls back. Munchkin White Hot Inflatable Duck Tub is a baby approved toy for your little one to enjoy her warm bath. With this tab, you don’t need to continually test and guess the temperatures to ensure the bathwater is right. It has a unique feature that turns white when the water is too hot and blue when it’s just fine for the baby’s sensitive skin.
Towel Set.It’s so much fun for little ones to have their own towel and washcloth. Toddlers love to explore, learn, and play. So give a gift that engages a 1-year-old's senses and attention and offers opportunities for development and skill-building. Think toys and other gear that offers different textures, colors, shapes, and sounds. When it comes to one-year-olds, safety is always the priority.
This pretend makeup kit is the perfect starter for any curious kids who love makeup. Some of the most fun my kids have had have been with two old wigs and play silks that they used to create dresses or capes. There are also plenty of princess, superhero and villain costumes to choose from for those who like to dress as the people they see on screen.
Kids will totally end up playing with these animal counters. We keep ours in a small bucket and bring them out when everything else is put away. We stack colors together, make patterns, practice adding and subtracting. Kids are always fascinated by what we do, so when they see up putting on our own makeup their curious and want to try it for themselves.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very blessed Merry Christmas. Little Passports also has a fantastic Gift Guide with one-time gift items, like getting your child set up with a coin collection from around the world. Whether your child is a pre-reader or a seasoned chapter book reader, books inspire children to explore worlds and emotions they wouldn't otherwise discover – and in often delightful ways. Give one article of clothing that you know your child would really love and that they don't need. Perhaps a fancy dress, a beret, a certain style of jeans, a scarf, a piece of jewelry, or a tie-dyed t-shirt. Depending on the age of your child, this may or may not be an appropriate gift, but if so, introduce several charities to your child.
My kids have loved these events and continue to talk about them long afterwards. Another cool game we love to encourage imagination and creativity is Story Cubes. An extension of that for a special birthday is to get a coin from each year from birth to the present birthday. My granddaughter when she was little love the colored liquid soap. She would draw with the soap on the tile wall next to to the bath tub while taking a bath.
