We got a bunch of toys, and donated them. But you could try ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-a-1st-birthday#post-1439269 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:11:35 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1439269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B toys are great!</p> <p>J loves these cars - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/B-68621AM-Wheeee-ls/dp/B002YITFWK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1392952148&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=B+toys" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/B-68621AM-Wheeee-ls/dp/B002YITFWK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1392952148&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=B+toys</a></p> <p>Other ideas:<br /> - Zany Zoo<br /> - Melissa and Doug puzzles<br /> - Wooden blocks<br /> - Megabloks<br /> - Books!!

He has played with it non-stop since he got it. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/B-Parum-Pum-Drum-Lime/dp/B003WE34HC" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/B-Parum-Pum-Drum-Lime/dp/B003WE34HC</a></p> <p>Also anything Little People. We love the Barn, the Bus and the Zoo Train. They will keep him busy for 20 mins at a time now, which is a lifetime in toddler world!</p> <p>Oh, and the old fashioned Corn Popper. He didn't walk til 16 months, but it's currently a definitely favorite. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Brilliant-Basics-Corn-Popper/dp/B00000IZOU/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1392951476&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=corn+popper+push+toy" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Brilliant-Basics-Corn-Popper/dp/B00000IZOU/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1392951476&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=corn+popper+push+toy</a></p> <p>Puzzles are good too, but we got a TON of them. I have a whole shelf in the closet of unopened puzzles. Same with MegaBlocks. Maybe he's just not old enough yet, but he has very little interest.</p> <p>Hope that helps!</p> <p>ETA: I forgot to mention his "big" present - the PB Kids Anywhere Chair. Totally worth it. He loves to sit in it and "read" his books, or just play with his Little People. And if he's not in it, the cat is;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-a-1st-birthday#post-1439058 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:19:34 +0000 cmomma17 1439058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbookworm: same question here! I don't want anything else that lights up or makes noise! Ugh!<br /> My first idea (besides books) was puzzles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-a-1st-birthday#post-1439051 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:18:26 +0000 mrsbookworm 1439051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family has already started asking what to get LO for his first birthday. We're planning a party but not doing gifts, however that won't work for all our family members. They have to buy him something!<br /> What are some things your 1 year old has loved? I didn't provide any guidance during the holidays and we now have a lot of things that make noise and light up. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd like to go in another direction this time... </p>
