One year old is a fun age to start buying toys for. They are trying to figure out what they like and learning to walk along with exploring their surroundings. I have compiled the BEST Toys for 1 Year Old Boys. These tried and true gifts are from one mom to another.
When birthdays or holidays are getting close, I find myself getting a little anxious wondering what I should get my little one. I hope you find this list extra helpful when you start your shopping. It’s a little hard to know what to get your little one because they may not be as vocal as the older kids on their wants.
BEST Toy Ideas for 1 Year Old Boys
Pretend Play
My little one’s favorite thing to do is pretend he is doing something I am doing. At this age they start to mimic things we do and things their siblings are doing.
My little one really loved to play with his shopping cart as well. He used to pick up different toys around the house and place them in the cart. I also love toys like the shopping cart that help them walk.

Trucks, Cars, & Airplanes
My little guy has loved trucks and cars at a very young age. All they want to do is play with anything that has wheels and moves around the house. The great thing about cars, trucks and airplanes is little boys seem to never grow out of them. These toys last for a long time.
Little boys play so many different things with cars, trucks, and airplanes. My little guy is always pushing his cars around the house. I love watching their little minds at work when they play.

My kids always make up really fun stories with their play animals. The animals are usually a part of whatever they have decided to imagine up that day.

Outdoor Play
We love outdoor time at our house. Anything that gets my kiddos outside is a win in my book. My little guy loves to go down slides, but is a little too small for those at the park. Buying a small slide will help you feel at ease and satisfy his craving for going down slides.
I also like to have a water table around for my little one. This is a fun activity to do on hot days to cool them off without having to leave the house.
