Awakening, to discover music, for the bath, Montessori, interactive, wooden, construction… What toy should you buy for a 1-year-old baby?
Playing is essential for the psychomotor development of babies. At 1 year old, toys help develop imagination and fine motor skills, the phenomenon of cause and effect, location in space, hand-eye coordination and vocabulary. They also introduce children to learning such as the alphabet, numbers, or even music. That’s why what may seem like a simple toy is actually a little more complex! However, they remain easy to use for toddlers, who will enjoy playing with them. To know what toy to buy for a 12 month old baby, it is of course necessary to begin by identifying the age limit. Then, we can turn to the centers of interest that he has already developed: if he loves small cars, we can buy him bright and musical ones. If he loves stacking bricks, you can opt for a different construction game. If he plays his little tambourine all the time, why not a xylophone? But you also have to think about what he doesn’t already have! If the baby already has several boards and activity cubes, tumbling toys and other musical soft toys, he does not need to have more. The most important thing is to offer him a variety of toys, so that he doesn’t get bored, that he discovers new things and always has as much fun.
