Now that Christmas is over, the dust has settled, and my husband and I realize we need to move to accommodate all of these toys, I thought I might share some of the really terrific gifts we got that our 1 year old son has loved playing with. Whether you have children or have a niece or nephew's birthday coming up and aren't sure what to get that is impractical and fun (because who wants socks for their birthday...but what 1 year old could have enough?), these are some that have worked for us!
The Tickle Monster Laughter Kit is my favorite book now. There are some books that get a bit boring to read, but this book has really clever and funny rhymes, and I haven't gotten tired of donning my tickle monster mitts and tickling him yet!
Another favorite has definitely been the Little People Animal Farm. Our little boy got this Christmas morning and fell instantly in love. Plus, as you can see from the second picture, the little sheep (and the pig!) are so fat and rotund, you can't help but love them too!
Last but not least, his Aunt Ginny gave him Pound a Peg. He loves playing with the pegs and takes personal offense when they are actually placed in the holes (where they should be). He also is intolerant of blocks being stacked on top of each other, or the goat from the Little People Animal Barn being put on the roof. He has his quirks, but he gets them honestly.
And finally, the Radio Flyer classic spring horse is a must have (space!) toy for any boy, right? Well, that's what my mom believes, and now our kiddo is a proud owner. By the way, that is not my child on the horse. I think it will be a while before he has the coordination to ride, but until then, it looks really cool.
