DD is 17 months old (got it for her first birthday as well) and is totally obsessed with it. (Although we did have to search for an hour for DH's phone the other day, which she'd hidden in the seat. Ha!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563477 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 19:33:02 +0000 maddyz 2563477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Duplo Lego are a bit hit. LO can't really stick them together yet at 15 months, but LOVEs to take them apart and have me help him build. They are also a toy that will last a long time which I like.</p> <p>Balls, cars and stacking cups are also big hits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563473 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 19:29:10 +0000 MrsSRS 2563473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From IKEA: felt food, play tent, push cart with blocks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563438 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 18:28:02 +0000 Kemma 2563438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything Little People, Cozy Coupe, play kitchen, toy lawn mower, duplos, books, toddler-sized table and chairs, garden tools... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563436 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 18:24:43 +0000 SweetCaroline 2563436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: yes, the drum set!</p> <p>Also, Little People farm, Little People tractor, definitely blocks (Mega Blocks are easy for little hands), Radio Flyer bike, lift the flap books, Little Tykes slide, Little Tykes Adirondack chair (or similar). We have some really great age appropriate Leap Frog toys too that seem like they will fit for several years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563277 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:50:56 +0000 sslm 2563277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This!!! <a href="http://m.target.com/p/b-parum-pum-pum-drum/-/A-12026425" rel="nofollow">http://m.target.com/p/b-parum-pum-pum-drum/-/A-12026425</a></p> <p>My daughter loved it at that age and still does (she's 3).

DS1 already has just about every toy imaginable but I didn't want to just skip over the gifts. Poor second child. :) There are some great ideas here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563218 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 11:53:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 2563218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also love the scuttlebug ride on toy (similar to a y bike). It says 18 months and up and she would need to be walking pretty steadily I think but my almost three year old loves t. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563212 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 11:48:08 +0000 Alivoo01 2563212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Y-bike is awesome, especially if you have hardwood floors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563210 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 11:46:18 +0000 Iced Tea 2563210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My one year old loves her tegu blocks (definitely something to use for years). Just remove the small wheels, as they are too small for a one year old. </p> <p>Other favorites are buckets and bags she can carry around and fill. Also a play kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563205 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 11:38:32 +0000 mrsrain 2563205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @Foodnerd81: on the little ride and push car. It's a great toy that they don't outgrow too quickly. We also got some beginners Legos that have gotten a ton of use and I always like bath/swim toys. A lot of the gifts we got were too old for her (puzzles, imaginative play toys), but she's definitely grown into them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-toys-for-a-1-year-old#post-2563203 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 11:35:27 +0000 snowjewelz 2563203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Oh, lol.
