Babies are on their way to toddlerhood once they hit their first birthday, and that can only mean one thing: the playroom is about to explode with toys.
At one year old, babies are likely to start crawling, walking, trying a variety of new foods, and becoming more social and engaged than ever before. This stage is all about curiosity, coordination, and communication, and the right toys can make a world of difference. From push-and-pull walkers that build confidence to shape sorters that spark problem-solving, these playtime picks help babies hit key developmental milestones — and have tons of fun doing it.
Shop all of these awesome toys below, and check out our full holiday gift guide for more gifting inspo!
