Toys for Toddlers age 1+

Toys for Toddlers: popular brands

At around 12 months, children enter a particularly exciting stage: they become more active in exploring their surroundings, take their first steps, and start to imitate the world around them.

Typical milestones at this age include:

• Fine motor skills: grasping, sorting, and stacking

• Movement: pushing, pulling, and first attempts at walking

• Cognitive development: understanding cause and effect

• Language: recognizing and naming objects

Our range includes carefully selected toys for ages 1+ that are perfectly suited to the development and abilities of toddlers.

Age-appropriate toys for 1-year-olds

Doll strollers and doll accessories

Even young children start to imitate everyday situations. With a doll stroller, your child can take their favorite doll for a walk or care for it lovingly. Matching doll accessories make pretend play even more realistic.

Play kitchens and play shops

Pretend play is one of many toddlers’ favorite activities. Play kitchens and play shops offer plenty of ways to recreate everyday situations through play. Your child can cook, shop, or sort groceries while also developing creativity and social skills.

Motor skills toys

Motor skills toys are ideal for developing dexterity and coordination. Particularly popular are:

• Bead mazes

• Ball runs

• Shape sorters

• Sorting toys

• Lacing toys

• Colorful wooden building blocks

• Pounding benches / hammering toys

Grasping, moving, and turning help your child develop fine motor skills and concentration through play.

Shape puzzles and shape sorters

First shape puzzles are perfect for little hands. The large pieces are easy to grasp and give children a quick sense of achievement. As they fit the shapes into place, your child also learns to:

• recognize shapes

• distinguish colors

• understand how things fit together

Stacking towers and stacking toys

Stacking towers and stacking cups are among the most popular toys for ages 1+. Your child can stack cups, rings, or blocks and develop balance and coordination through play.

Rocking animals

Rocking animals combine movement and play. As your child rocks, they develop balance while also strengthening their muscles.

For children aged 1 and up, rocking animals with a secure seat that supports the back are a good choice.

Kids’ tents and play tents

A tent of their own is a very special little retreat for your child. It’s a place to play undisturbed, listen to stories, and create their own little world of imagination.

Wooden workbenches and toy tools

Screwing, drilling, sawing, and hammering just like grown-ups: toddlers love a wooden workbench or toy tool set, depending on the design and recommended age range from 1, 2, or 3 years.
