Shop baby and 1-year-old toys for sensory exploration, grasping, movement, cause-and-effect play, stacking and early problem-solving.

Choosing toys for babies and young toddlers

At this stage, simple often works best. Babies and one-year-olds learn by touching, mouthing, shaking, dropping, moving and repeating the same action many times. Choose toys that are appropriate for the child’s developmental stage and easy for them to explore actively.

  • Sensory toys: different textures, sounds and visual features invite exploration.
  • Grasping and manipulation: easy-to-hold pieces support hand control and coordination.
  • Stacking and nesting: repeated trial and error introduces size, balance and spatial relationships.
  • Cause and effect: toys that respond when pushed, pulled, shaken or moved help babies connect actions with outcomes.
  • Movement play: rolling, reaching and crawling-friendly toys encourage active exploration.
