Giving a gift to someone is always a tough job, irrespective of age, and gender. While choosing a gift for adults, knowing their choice is essential. But, in the case of a one year old toddler, selecting an appropriate gift can cause a big headache for anyone. The reason being, you do not know what a one year old boy likes. Heck, the boy himself does not understand his choices! It would help if you also considered the factors while buying gifts for a one year old boy other than what he might like temporarily.
What should you keep in mind before buying gifts for one year old boy?
First of all, the gifts should be safe and not have small parts. Toddlers tend to chew and swallow everything, so gifts containing small pieces are choking hazards. The next thing you need to consider is that the gift should be attractive enough to draw the boy’s attention. Otherwise, the boy will not play with your gift, and the primary purpose of giving it will be futile.
The most important thing that you must consider while choosing a gift is that it should facilitate the boy’s motor skills and cognitive development. A one-year-old boy’s cognitive development is entirely based on his motor skill and touch or sensation. The more the toddler touches, the more the toddler senses; faster will be his cognitive development. So it is crucial to choose the right gifts for one year old boy.
