Toys for 1 year olds (Best Gift Ideas for Toddlers)

Spin Again

Spin again is the ultimate a stacking toy with a spin—literally. Spin again is our top selling toy for 1 year olds.

Drop the vibrant discs onto the threaded corkscrew pole and go ooooh as they spin fast and smooth to settle onto the reversible base. Choosing how to set the base is half the fun for your toddler. Pick either the wobble base or turn it over for a solid seat.

Each disc is dual-colored, and from largest to smallest, they form a dynamic rainbow utilizing fun shades like magenta, lime, and teal, and your more traditional shades of lemon, red, and sky blue. The star-like discs alternate between daisy style and star-burst shapes, too.

This visually stimulating toy will keep your little ones enthralled as they practice their hand-eye coordination and baby engineering skills!!
