Still Searching for the Best Gifts for a 1 Year Old Boy? Here's a List of 8 Fun and Exciting Gifts which Will Surely Make Him Squeal with Happiness! (2019)

When heading out to choose a perfect gift for a 1-year-old, you should be utmost careful about the material of the gift. If you are thinking of buying exciting toys that the little boy can put his mind and attention to, remember that he is still in the age of teething and at such a stage, he might and surely will try to chew anything that comes his way. Toys for children are normally quite bright and vibrant in colour, which in fact attracts them even more, to just try and have a little bite of it. Therefore, it is important for such toys to be made up of materials that do not contain toxic elements, even when chewed or licked.

Another important point that should hit your mind before picking up any gift for the little one has to be the size of the toy. We often choose toys on the basis of how it looks, and what it can be used as, but forget that the size and shape of the toy matters. Even if the toy is too cute but, the size of the toy is too small, there always persists a risk of it getting swallowed by the little one accidentally. Toddlers love to chew on toys that they have and swallowing one such tiny piece of the toy that you thought was very pretty, can lead to dire circumstances. Similarly, the shape of the toy you’re picking up should also bother you. Do not pick gifts that have sharp edges or unfinished designs that may hurt the child accidentally. You want to be as cautious as you can while choosing a perfect take away for the little buddy.

When you buy a gift for a child, you want them to enjoy it, and play their heart out. But, if you choose a gift that is just not appropriate for his age, having nooks and turns that just act as a bouncer to him, the dream of the little one to appreciate your gift will always remain a dream.

Always tell the shopkeeper or the person suggesting you the list of gifts about which age and dynamics does it focus on. If searching online read the descriptions of the products carefully and pay heed to the age range that the gift caters to. Don’t just pick up toys just because they look cute and are available at a too good to be true, price! In this listicle, we have handpicked 8 age appropriate and fun gifts for a 1-year-old child, making it utmost easy for you to make a pick.
