Gift Guide - First Birthday - Gifts for One Year Olds
My Baby is one! or almost one! Thinking about the perfect first birthday gift for your little guy or gal? We’ve got you covered. Here are some of our favourite gift ideas for a one year old:
WOODEN FOLD AND GO FARM
This Melissa and Doug Farm is a great compact pretend play activity that will last for years. Once you have the barn you can use any of your own farm animals (or cars - as my son likes to use this as a parking garage too!)
Tiny Tot BALANCE BIKE
This Kinderfeets bike is a 2-in-1 that can easily convert from a tricycle to a 2-wheel balance bike. Kinderfeets has a wide selection of colours and styles of their iconic bamboo bikes. #notrainingwheels
WOODEN SHOPPING CART
We love this Pottery Barn shopping cart because of how stylish it is. This push shopping cart is super versatile. It can be a great help for children’s balance while learning to walk, a fun imaginative play accessory to fill, or a simple storage solution for plush toys. **Pottery Barn Kids always has sales!
IKEA PLAY KITCHEN
The DUKTIG play kitchen is a staple for most playrooms. The IKEA kitchen is a great price point and can be a very fun DIY project to personalize. There are many different play kitchens available - we love the wooden ones!
Play FOOD SET
Now that you have your play kitchen and shopping cart you need some food. There is so much gorgeous play food (stay tuned for specific play food roundup). Our favourites are the wooden and plush styles. We love the details in this set - that honey, can you even?
MELISSA AND DOUG Let’s PLAY HOUSE!
Another Melissa and Doug favourite. Your little helper can assist you with all your cleaning needs (if only!) This is another toy that grows with your child and is great for imaginative play! It also tucks away into a corner nicely.
TEA SET
From one of our favourite toy company’s this Green Toys Tea Set is a perfect set for afternoon tea with your babe and all their (plush) friends. We love that this set is made from eco-friendly materials and can actually be used with water. Pouring is great for those fine motor skills but may be a little messy at first!
Adorable “first” Shoes
Every toddler needs an adorable first pair of “real” shoes. Make sure you buy shoes not only by looks but by comfort and support. If they aren’t already, they will be running before you know it!!
RIDE ON Push CAR
Generally we’re not fans of big clunky plastic but this ride on push car saved us. If your little one isn’t the biggest fan of the stroller, this is a great alternative. We travel everywhere in this car, all year long!
What are you gifting that one year old in your life? We would love to know!
