My husband and I will be celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary on the 8th...tomorrow. I've had his gift for some time, but we want to give gifts to the kids as well. I'm thinking of getting our daughter roller skates...she's been wanting them for months now...but I don't know what to get our 12 month old son. Suggestions? What's your 1 year old's favorite toy?
Answer
Happy Anniversary!
My son absolutely loves balls and trucks, he really is all boy. Those tonka trucks (army, construction, etc) and any kind of soft ball toy will keep him busy for a long time.

Toys for a 1 Year Old?
Rylie's Mo
My daughter just turned one on Friday. I am curious as to what are the best toys for her at this point. (Ones that will help her learn and develop motor skills. Thanks.
Answer
Ones I had, or would have liked to have: VERY simple shape sorter - like with many copies of only 3 shapes; those things with 5 different buttons/switches/levers that pop up 5 different toys when you manipulate the buttons/switches/levers; small swimming pool; nesting cups / nesting dolls; sandbox + shovel; a bouncy ball of the right size (about 6" diameter); music toys - simple ones! like rattles or drums that make a variety of different sounds; some simple toys that have wheels; clear toys containing water and shiny things that can be shaken and you watch the things "swimming" inside; bubble blower (for you to use and child to watch); a top (also mainly to watch you use it but she might be able to get it going briefly); and board books with lots of pictures - still my 16 month old's favorite thing! She has learned almost all the words she has from those. She loves ones that have shiny stuff attached inside, like some of the more durable touch/feel ones, and the Katz lift-the-flap ones are good although they need protection from tearing and folding.
Interest in dolls might increase in the next few months - try a brightly colored ragdoll? Soon she'll be ready for push/pull toys, like a wagon or toy shopping cart, doll stroller, toy lawnmower etc. Oh, and we also have a set of foam blocks made by Sassy that has little cubbyholes in each one, with a small soft toy inside -- that she enjoyed a lot. Surprising to see how fast she learned to match the toys to their blocks.

Some of what I've listed might seem too advanced at first but in the next couple months they should be just right! I'm also *still* searching for one of those tub toys that suctions to the wall and has tubes and waterwheels & such, that the child can pour water into.
