My DD has also found the dog bowls. She crawls around with the empty food bowl, and just this morning before I was taking her to the babysitter, stuck her whole arm in the dog water, her entire sleeve and front of her shirt was soaked.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-old-toys#post-2541266 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:11:44 +0000 winniebee 2541266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cords, cord outlets, sharp objects, dust bunnies, remote controls, iphones, crinkly wrappers.</p> <p>But, seriously, that's all my 1 year old wanted to play with forever haha! I would say things that actually held his interest - learning cube, fisher price ltitle people (the zoo, the farm), and he liked blocks and the play kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-old-toys#post-2541264 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:11:05 +0000 MrsBrewer 2541264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally following!! </p> <p>One thing my LO loves are music toys (drums, maracas, bells) that she plays with at the baby sitters house! </p> <p>I want to buy her a play kitchen, but I have no idea where to keep it!

I took away the activity table but she still asks for it so I took it back out! Obsessed! </p> <p>She likes the play kitchen too. Not so much to pretend to cook, but she especially loves taking things in &amp; out of the fridge and oven/cabinets! </p> <p>She loves this plastic tub of animals since she can identify most of them.

We took DD into the American Girl store when we were at the Mall of America and handed her a display doll. She was all giddy over it! She hasn't really gotten into balls yet, despite trying to teach her catch. Megablocks would be fun too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-old-toys#post-2538996 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:48:06 +0000 Kemma 2538996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cozy Coupe, play kitchen, Little Tykes Lawn Mower, Fisher Price Little People, Duplo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-old-toys#post-2538995 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:47:40 +0000 LBee 2538995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Play kitchen for us. He got it for his first birthday and he's still obsessed (21 months). It was also easy to be able to tell family to just get him accessories (food, etc) for his toy kitchen. </p> <p>We got Megabloks too, but he is just now getting into them. He also got a push car that he loves, but that's not exactly independent play. We boxed up the learning table about 16 mos, so I wouldn't say that toy necessarily has staying power, but it did entertain for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-old-toys#post-2538994 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:46:53 +0000 LindsayInNY 2538994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: What exactly is that? #newmomidiot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-old-toys#post-2538991 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:43:39 +0000 PawPrints 2538991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom bought DD a baby doll for her first birthday and I have been really surprised by how she has taken to it. She drags it around everywhere and feeds it with the little baby bottle it came with, and imitates all kinds of things that we do with her (playing peek a boo, wiping her nose, etc). </p> <p>She also thoroughly enjoys balls of all shapes and sizes. Peek-a-boo and touch-and-feel board books are also huge hits. </p> <p>Oh also cars! She loves pushing cars around. And she spends a lot of time playing with the megablocks (like Duplos) - she almost has the hang of getting them to lock together, and can stay entertained for several minutes just in the attempt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-old-toys#post-2538990 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:43:23 +0000 looch 2538990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A learning table was a big hit, granted it was loud, plastic and took up a ton of room, but my son loved it for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-old-toys#post-2538985 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:37:37 +0000 LindsayInNY 2538985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are some good toys for 1 year olds?
