21 Activities for One Year Olds - Baby Play - Wildflower Ramblings

Please join us on Instagram for learning ideas shared every day!  And our Wildflower Book Club on Facebook!

Today I present you with my darling angel and 21 of her favorite activities for one year olds.  I am reminiscing about my sweet daughter’s second year of life.  Her year as a one year old.  She is excited to be a big girl and join in with my son’s preschool time, so I always make sure to get an age appropriate activity out for her.  My daughter is very different from my son.  She enjoys these little time-busting activities and gets very intense and excited about them.

Almost all of these activities for one year olds can use items that you already have in your home!  Most of them are completely free and absolutely easy!!

Some activities may include small pieces — as with any activity with your children, please ensure your child is supervised at all times!!

      use pipe cleaners instead of noodles, easier to clean up

    So glad I found your printables on pinterest! My 10 month old is quickly approaching one year old energy. I scrolled through this post and some of things she already does. Great, cute ideas to keep babies busy.

    Great ideas, I have been struggling to find things to do with my 13 month old. She is also still a big fan of putting things in her mouth…I’m going to try some of these ideas this week!

    Great ideas! Do want to mention this:

    BE SUPER CAUTIONS WITH MAGNETS AND POM POMS

    Swallowed magnet is instant trip to the emergency room. Pom poms are massive choking hazards.

    Specifically when you have younger babies that still eat things.

      Yes I have mentioned that supervision is always required for these activities.
