Looking for a 1st birthday gift idea or a gift for Christmas for a one year old child? Here you will find a list of wonderful and meaningful gifts for 1 year old girls and boys. If you're looking for gift recommendations for wooden toys but also other useful gift ideas for 1 year olds, you've come to the right place.

Which gift for the 1st birthday?

1. climbing triangle with slide for 1st birthday

2. Running wheel for 1-year-olds

Like the Pikler triangle, the running wheel is also a motor skills-enhancing toy made of wood that makes a wonderful 1st birthday gift or even a Christmas present. The classic two-wheeled running bike already makes higher demands on the balance and coordination of the toddler. Therefore, it is rather recommended for toddlers from 18 months. For 1-year-old boys and girls, we therefore recommend a running bike with three or even four wheels. This provides additional support for the child's stability.

3. Montessori bookcase

The special feature of the Montessori bookshelf is that the book covers, of the books stored there, are presented frontally to the toddler. The toddler can easily see the books offered and is encouraged to actively choose and take a book. It is a great way to encourage children to read. Montessori bookshelf is a meaningful gift and at the same time useful and aesthetically beautiful. Such a bookshelf for children is not an ordinary gift. It also shows that the gift giver has extensively considered the needs of the gifted toddler and his parents.
