10 Toys to Entertain a One Year Old

amomentwithfranca · 19 October 2015 · 28 Comments

A couple of months ago I did a post about 9 Things to keep an 11-month-old busy and now that Sienna is one year old (14 months) I thought that I should do an update of this and do a list of the toys that she is enjoying a lot at the moment.

10 Toys to Entertain a One Year Old FI final

 

1.Wishtime Kids Toy Cube Muti-function shape sorter

Cube 1

Cube 2

This is a great toy for a 1-year-old. Sienna loves playing with it, and although she is still too young to enjoy all the functions it is certainly good enough to entertain her for a little bit.

2.   LeapFrog Shapes and Sharing Picnic Basket

Picnic Basket Toy 1

Picnic Basket Toy 2

This was one of Sienna’s birthday presents. She absolutely adores it!! It comes with music and a voice that talks about shapes and colours. Sienna finds it fascinating. She always plays with this.

3. Fun Time Pop-Up Farm Friends

Pop Up toy 1

Pop Up Toy 2

This is a very interesting toy because Sienna knows pretty well how to push all the animals down but she hasn’t yet been able to make them pop up! What she does is, after pushing them down very hard because she uses a lot of force LOL, she passes the toy to me so I have to pop them up. This keeps her entertained for a fair amount of time. The only problem is that for me it is a little bit tiring. However, I hope she will soon master it all herself soon.

4. Mega Bloks Buildable Toy

Duplo 1

Duplo 2

This was a nice present from Grandma. It was actually for Bella originally but now Sienna has inherited it. The Mega Bloks are a classic toy for little ones. Sienna doesn’t build much yet but what she loves to do a lot is to get the individual pieces outside the box or she simply just carries the box, turns it upside down and then all the pieces go everywhere. This is great as she plays with it for quite a bit of time.

5. My First Tablet

2015-10-03_101242161_2D37A_iOS

This is another fantastic toy. Sienna is always watching Mummy and Daddy typing on our laptops or Bella playing with her iPad so of course, she wants to have something similar too. She likes this tablet toy from Toys R Us. It has music and a woman talking. The settings have a choice of English or French. I would’ve preferred to have it in English and Spanish instead but they didn’t have that. She runs around holding the tablet like a crazy person and she gets so excited!! It is so funny!

6. Thomas and Friends Press & Go Thomas

2015-10-03_101441158_2BC13_iOS

Even though Sienna is a girl she loves trains too which I find super cool. She likes Thomas the Tank Engine. This toy is really good, she likes to press the little driver and let it go. It is very fun for her and I love watching her play with it.

7. Thomas & Friends: First Sit & Ride

2015-10-03_100746451_7A0CB_iOS

Again, another Thomas the Tank toy!! We got this for someone else a long time ago but for some reason we ended up giving something else so we kept this toy. I wasn’t sure as I wanted something with pink but the truth is that she doesn’t really care, it is just me who cares, LOL! She rides this a lot lately and loves to push it around, so we now love it!!

8. Ikea Mula Pull Wagon With 24 Building Blocks

2015-10-03_101041302_EF091_iOS

We bought this from Ikea a few years ago and it has been always a hit toy with Bella and now its the same with Sienna. It is so good because of the colours and shapes. Sienna can’t put the pieces back in the box (at least not correctly) but she loves taking them out of it and sucking them. It is her guilty pleasure!! LOL.

9. Fisher-Price Stacking Surprise Song & Smiles Silly Town

2015-10-03_095516753_F3E16_iOS

This toy was a present from the Grandparents and has also been around our and their house since Bella was born. This playset from Fisher-Price has been a lifesaver as it has lots of different features. Sienna loves the music and loves watching the little characters going up and down!

10. Djeco 10 Picture Cubes

2015-10-03_100627732_A8754_iOS

This was a gorgeous present for Sienna’s 1st birthday from her Godparents. They bought it in Italy when they were there for the holidays. The illustrations are beautiful and it has 10 small cubes where your kids can learn the numbers and the names of animals, bugs, plants, etc. Of course, Sienna’s favourite game is throwing away all the cubes after building the tower. She loves that part!

I have put together a list of suggestions of toys on my Amazon Store that might be good entertainment for a 1- year-old.

If you like this post, you might also like my post “Cool Gift Ideas For Kids With Wicked Uncle” for more inspiration for older kids.

What do you think of these toys? Do you also have a 1-year-old that plays with similar toys? What other toys do you use? 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    This is fantastic! I have a one year old too. He has some of these, but you’ve inspired me with the picnic set. (I think I’ll enjoy it more than him..!) x

      My girls are now older and my youngest, now 4 years old, still plays with the picnic set! She doesn’t want me to give it away yet! So it is definitely a toy that ill last for years! 🙂 x
