Once your baby is a year old, he or she will rapidly progress to walking unaided.  They will be very excited about this new found freedom and will want to explore every inch of their ever expanding world.  Babies at this age want to experience everything and they are captivated by everything they see, hear touch and taste.  A baby of this age is surprisingly speedy on their feet so you will want to ensure that the rooms are all ‘baby proofed.’

Wooden toys, such as pushers and pull toys will be appealing to babies at this age.  A pusher will allow them to show off their new found walking skills whilst providing support and a means to transport their treasures from room to room.  They will also enjoy banging blocks together and putting toys into different containers.  Now is the time when you will find your keys and mobile phone in all sorts of strange places if you don’t keep them out of reach.

Babies will also become more appreciative of music and will love to dance to their favourite tunes and nursery rhymes.  Their attention span is very short at this stage and they will flit from one toy to another, so wooden toys that can inspire their imagination are a great idea and can keep them entertained for longer.  Wooden blocks will hold their appeal for many years to come and whilst now the baby may be content to simply carry blocks from room to room, in the future they will build towers and shapes with them.
