Push And Pull Toys

For 1-year-old beginning to walk, toys that encourage pushing and pulling are excellent for promoting movement, balance, and coordination. Choose toys with a stable base to prevent tipping, offering your child a secure and fun experience.

Balls Of Various Sizes

Playing with balls helps develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Start with larger, softer balls that are easier to grasp, and gradually introduce smaller ones as your child's skills improve. Rolling, throwing, and catching are all activities that promote physical development.

Best Choices For Cognitive Development

Shape Sorters And Puzzles

Shape sorters and simple puzzles are fantastic tools for enhancing cognitive development. They help children understand the concept of matching and encourage problem-solving skills. Children develop spatial awareness and critical thinking abilities as they figure out how to fit pieces into the right places.

Interactive Books And Flashcards

Engaging a child's curiosity and language skills, interactive books with textures, sounds, or flaps and flashcards featuring pictures or colors can be effective tools. These resources are enjoyable ways to enhance vocabulary and memory skills.

Musical Instruments

Simple musical instruments, such as drums, xylophones, or maracas, can be excellent for cognitive development. They introduce children to the concept of cause and effect and help develop an understanding of rhythm, pattern recognition, and auditory skills.
