Activities and Guides for Parents of 1-Year-Olds

Congratulations! The little one in your life has reached that super special first birthday milestone, and look how far they’ve come (and you, for that matter...)! That little baby is, well, not so much of a baby anymore, but their own little character with likes, dislikes, mannerisms and a whole load of excitable energy.

We know that kids’ development at this age really varies, so whether you’ve got a crawler, cruiser, walker, chatterbox or none of these yet, we’ve got you covered with our activities and guides for one-year-olds! From advice around development stages, milestones and those much-coveted ‘firsts’, to the play styles best suited to this age and structured and unstructured activities, including creative play with LEGO® DUPLO® bricks, to nurture their learning and love of play!

Play Experiences for 1-Year-Olds

Play experiences at this age tend to be focused on fine motor, gross motor and early problem-solving skills. Your little one may enjoy exploring cause and effect (like pressing a button on a toy that triggers a sound), activities that involve stacking or sorting shapes, or sensory experiences such as light, sound, touch, smell and taste – like pouring water from a cup, drumming with pots & pans, or building with large, colorful LEGO® DUPLO® blocks. So, are you ready to get started? Let’s explore this crazy journey into the land of one-year-olds together – we’ve got you!
