What to Buy for a 1 Year Old Baby Girl Birthday

It can be tough to find the best toys for toddlers, but finding the all-time gift for a 1-year-old might be easier than you think: It's that age when the box really can exist more than exciting than the toy inside.

That's because favorite activities at age 1 include pushing and pulling, putting things together and taking them apart and — yeah — moving things in and out of boxes.

"It's a very active time," said Tovah Klein, director of the Barnard College Heart for Toddler Development and author of "How Toddlers Thrive."

One-year-olds moving on from babe toys are also practicing speaking and recognizing rhymes, so they're primed for books that teach words or engage them with lifting flaps. In toys, look for a variety of textures they can explore with their hands, said Marie Conti, head of The Wetherill Schoolhouse in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, and a lath member of the American Montessori Society.

Development experts agree open-ended toys are best. Await for something that lets toddlers exercise what they want instead of following specific instructions.
