Best Gifts for One-Year-Olds
A curated list from
The Workspace for Children
One year olds are pulling up, cruising, and taking their first steps, and everything they can reach goes in their mouth. They drop things to see where they go, and they copy what they see you do. The toys in this guide meet them there and keep going for years.

Choosing the Right Gift for Your One-Year-Old
One year olds are on the move and putting everything in their mouth. The toys in this guide are built for that, and most of them will still be out in the playroom at three and four.
Hi! I’m Lizzie Assa, and I’m not here to fix your kid.
I’m here to help you feel better while you raise them.
I’ve been talking to parents about play and parenting for over a decade, and I still don’t think there’s one right way to do this. But when kids have room to play, they get more capable, and you get to stop second-guessing every move.
