Now that your baby is one, they’re more mobile, more vocal, and want more engaging playtime. They are outgrowing the teething toys and rattles from their infant days and are capable of manipulating more detailed playthings. We are delighted to feature a few the best toys for one year a old tot – why we love them and why they love them too!

Musical Train
by Boikido
The musical train by Boikido will entertain your child for hours upon hours. We love a toy that serves multiple purposes and helps your child develop various skills. The Musical Train is a fun, colorful train that will look adorable being pulled behind your little one. When your little one is ready to stop the push and pull fun of the train they can enjoy the musical sounds of the different instruments on each train car.
The train features a xylophone, hanging bells, a shiny cymbal, and two drumsticks. Don’t worry mom, none of the instruments are loud enough to drive you crazy. Each makes soft music when tapped with the accompanying stick.
This Boikido train obviously works on gross motor skills but your determined little one can also develop their fine motor skills. Each train car latches together with a wooden bead and loop. This is the perfect task for the determined little toddler. Your child will love to rearrange the car order, push them individually, and pull the entire set.
And, like all Boikido products, the train is manufactured to not only meet U.S safety standards, but the stricter European standards as well. Boikido ensures that your little one will explore and learn in safety.

The Meowmusic thing is cool but Amazon has a note that it is a choking hazard and NOT for kids under age 3. Thoughts?
I thought I had commented but it reloaded the comment box so who knows. Just wondering your thoughts on the Meowmusic thing not being for kids under age 3 because it is a choking hazard?
I am not sure why they say it’s not for kids under age 3 because there are no removable parts at all. I feel totally safe letting my one year old play with it (and she LOVES it). Perhaps the microphone – because it pulls out to reveal a small length of cord – they add the age 3 label as a precaution. Though it really isn’t long enough to wrap around anything but maybe a wrist or ankle if the child is totally unsupervised. Use your own judgement and just let your child play with it with your supervision!
