What toy would you recommend for my 1 year old girl?

[Samera676]

hey guys new to mumsnet so bare with me! it’s my little girls first birthday, and I’m deciding between a couple of toys.

fisher price laugh and learn chair
pop up tent
wooden block trolley
rock and ride unicorn vtech

if you have any other suggestions please let
me know xx

Blocks are always a hit and get used for years to come.
ride on unicorn, only if you have lots of space in your house.
pop up tent, we had one with a tunnel and ball pool and it was used a lot and even went on holiday with us one year as it packs up really small.

little tikes activity garden was a big hit with my two

Out of those definitely the wooden trolley and blocks- my dd (13m) loves hers.
Other favourite Christmas and birthday presents were: bubble machine, musical nursery rhymes book, stacking cups, any balls and some mini Thomas books- just the right size for her to hold and carry around.

Amazon giggle and spin giraffe was a MASSIVE hit for my son's birthday!

Also Argos has a helter skelter type thing for £10 which has gone down very well - think they call it a ball drop. It uses the same size balls as the giraffe, so they are interchangeable

Wooden block trolley. Mine used theirs for years. Also, a small wooden toy kitchen was popular from 1 to 3ish years old, best investment. Or a swing if you have outdoor space.

I don’t rate the fisher price chair- we have it- utter waste of money imo.

Truck with blocks was a big hit here.

Paper and felt tip pens and paint and paintbrush - great fun and super cheap

Trike! DS1 had one for his 1st and we’re only just winding it down now, he’s over 3.
Pushed him for bloody miles on that thing in lockdown

I have given up on all vtec toys, all the ones we have so far are really annoying so I've vowed to never buy vtec again!
