Our Pick of Toys for a First Birthday

New Baby = Less sleep, more jobs to juggle, less time to get it all done, permanently exhausted, overwhelming piles of nappies, blobs of baby food on your clothes, and lingering milky perfumes wafting in your trail!

One year later (and you wouldn't change a thing would you...) it's time to buy your little bundle of joy their first birthday toy and celebrate the precious moments you have shared as a family in the last 12 months.

Stop! Beware - before you know it your home could be full of toys you just don't want (or like!) It is mercenary but the truth is if you leave everybody to go their own way then you could find that granny just could not help buying that screeching monster fire truck in lovely red plastic with a brittle plastic ladder that will take up half the room and go off randomly just as baby goes off to sleep! Or worse that Aunty Flo has sent the most disgustingly cheap plastic ugly faced doll with googly eyes that almost bring tears to your eyes let alone your little poppets!

Our advice is to take family and friends by the hand and guide them to your favourite toyshop be it online or a lovely day out with you and the buggy to browse in store! Alternatively make a wish list on our site and mail it to family and friends!
Here are some of our picks for a first birthday:

Pull Along's are fab for a first birthday when baby is just starting to get mobile - they will be fascinated by movement! This Djeco Chabada Cat pull along is bright and funky!


A toy to hold and enjoy this Baby Clutch Toy Otti from Haba is just too cute to not have!


A walker wagon or push trolley will give your baby years of fun with a teddy or a doll to take for rides a true heirloom toy!


Wooden toy blocks are one of our favourites and the Haba range is fun, bright, and beautiful, every set can be combined so you can build up an amazing collection of wood bricks blocks and shapes to enthral little builders and designers!
