The Best Gifts for 1-Year-Olds

Kids have a natural curiosity about animals, and this book provides lots of opportunities for exploration with illustrations and photographs of animals from 12 habitats and environments. Three modes teach about animal names, animal sounds and fun facts on each page.

This smart vacuum picks up play dust pieces as kids roll the vacuum over them, encouraging motor skills as they maneuver the vacuum around the room. As the vacuum picks up the dust pieces, it recognizes each color and helps children with color recognition. Three play modes teach colors, numbers and counting with six learning games.

This adorable playset lets toddlers plant, pick, prepare and serve fresh pretend food, creating their own delicious farm-to-table meals. The interactive two-sided toy features a home garden on one side and a play kitchen on the other, each loaded with lights, music and hands-on play. Plus, Smart Stages learning content teaches letters, counting, colors, shapes, healthy eating and more as little gardeners play.

The play couch is not only adorably sized for your little one, but it’s also super functional! What’s nice about the Nugget is that it comes in four different foam pieces to form the sofa. You can create a traditional sitting couch for your child, or get creative and build a fort, a sleeping area and even a slide! There’s so much fun happening with this particular sofa, that even adults want to join in, and they CAN because it’s still large enough to have both you and your kiddo cuddle up on it while reading a book. We love its elevated and stylish design, a variety of colors, textures and patterns to choose from and a major plus is that you can unzip the covers and throw in the wash after playtime!
