If you have a 1-year-old, chances are you already know it’s an exhilarating age. From learning to walk and talk to dancing, giggling, and playing with toys, your little one has come a long way — and for good reason. Babies make huge developmental leaps during their first year.

But how do you keep your newfound toddler engaged and entertained? The good news is you don’t need fancy toys, devices, or games.

Here are 25 fun-filled activities to help your love bug conceive, create, and learn.

Create a sensory station

From the moment children are born, they use their five senses to learn about the world. Why? Our senses help us make sense of things in varying ways.

Creating a sensory basket, or sensory station, will give your child the opportunity to explore new objects in a safe and creative way. And bonus: Sensory play supports cognitive development and the development of fine motor skills.

You can fill a bin with rice, blocks, pasta, fabric, water, or dish soap bubbles and drop in toys or other items. Provide cups or scoops. Allow your little one to explore, digging through the materials and discovering items. An important note: Always supervise during these activities and don’t provide any items that could pose a choking hazard.

Build a busy board

From zippers and latches to snaps, buckles, and knobs, busy boards are a great way to encourage exploration, creativity, and promote muscle dexterity. Not sure where to start? Check out this beautiful board by Something Turquoise.

Count on fingers and toes

Toddlers love to count things, so show your little one how to count by touching each of their fingers and toes as you recite the numbers.

Write in sand or rice

Looking for a creative way to engage your 12-month-old? Try filling a shallow container with rice or sand and letting your little one draw in it. The feel of each material is extremely appealing and will allow your child to learn, grow, and explore.

You can also try this with yogurt or food purées if your little one insists on putting everything into their mouth.

Play with blocks

From brand-name plastic bricks to simple wooden stacking blocks and other construction-based toys, block building can help your child develop their fine motor skills and enhance their hand-eye coordination.

Sort toys by color

There are countless color-matching toys on the market — and for good reason. Color matching helps children develop their cognitive skills. Grab your favorite color-matching game or toy or make your own, using construction paper, paint, pom-poms, and/or popsicle sticks.

Complete puzzles

Puzzles, particularly baby and toddler puzzles, appear deceptively simple. After all, most contain only a few, large, chunky pieces. However, completing puzzles with your little one will help improve their motor and cognitive reasoning skills. It will also help them understand the concept of a whole and parts.

Make a discovery basket

Much like a sensory bin, station, or basket, a discovery basket will give your child the chance to explore unique objects and items. Simply fill a basket with child-safe things you have around the house. Your child can then explore and experiment to better understand the contents.

What to include? Consider a basket of kitchen tools — from dish towels and spoons to colanders and plastic lids. Or, create a musical basket with items that rattle, bang, and clang. You can even theme by color, collecting various red, blue, green, or even rainbow-colored items.

Stack ’em up

From blocks and rings to Tupperware and cups, stacking toys is a great way to help your child develop dexterity and grasp the concept of “big” and “little.”

Have your child fetch objects

Asking your child to collect objects around the house isn’t just helpful, fetching objects — like a bottle, cup, or ball — will help your little one learn to listen and follow directions. It will also foster independence and an overall sense of pride.

Make music

Children love music — and for good reason. Music can be light and lively or super soothing, and kids feel this. They sing. They dance. Music helps children, young and old, sleep and relax. It can also help them develop socially, emotionally, and linguistically.

So play music. Make music, and find creative ways to incorporate both song and dance into their daily lives. Whether this means a dinner playlist or dance parties during bath time is up to you.

Play house

From building forts with cardboard boxes to caring for dolls or pretending to grocery shop, playing house is a great way to expand your child’s imagination and foster creativity.

Go ‘fishing’

Fishing games are relatively common — from board games to bathtub toys. So catch your child’s interest with a pretend fishing set and watch them improve their motor skills as they have fun playing.

Shop fishing games online.

Make a DIY ball pit

Babies love ball pits, but most parents don’t. Public pits tend to be dirty and unclean. However, you can make your own ball pit with plastic balls and a playard or plastic pool. Cheap and easy entertainment!

Shop ball pits online.

Build a fort

Whether you’re 12 months old or 12 years old, forts are fun. Drape some blankets over your furniture, hang sheets from the ceiling, or set up pillows or cardboard boxes for a cool, creative playspace.

Play with puppets

From finger and hand puppets to sock puppets, puppet play will encourage creativity and help foster your child’s social and emotional development. No strings attached!

Shop puppets online.

Create a tunnel maze

Children love tunnels. After all, there’s something about crawling into — and out of — a tube that’s very appealing. Making a tunnel maze will encourage exercise and help your child use cognitive reasoning skills. And bonus: If you opt to DIY it will give you something to do with all of those oversized diaper boxes.

Run outside

While there is a lot to be said about creative play, the benefits of basic play — like walking, running, jumping, and dancing — cannot be overstated. So go outside. Run. Play tag. Jump. Spin around. And work up a sweat.

Ride a tricycle or push car

Twelve-month-olds likely cannot ride tricycles — at least not yet — but many can and do before their second birthday so don’t be afraid to explore this and other outside activities. Some models come with push handles for parents to allow trike fun before your little one has mastered riding on their own.

Shop tricycles and push cars online.

Turn on the sprinklers

You don’t need a pool or even a water table for outdoor water play. A simple sprinkler that your child can run through can provide plenty of entertainment. Bring along some cups to catch the water and a towel for drying off and snuggles once the fun is done.

Paint with water

If you’re looking for a creative way to let your little one paint, look no further than water. With some colored construction paper and a paintbrush, your child can create a mess-free masterpiece.

Play with play dough

Whether you make your own modeling clay, salt dough, or buy a pack of Play-Doh doesn’t matter, what matters is that your little one is exploring their world with a new and creative medium. Bonus: Playing with dough helps your child develop dexterity and fine motor skills.

Little ones love doodling and scribbling. My 18-month-old regularly draws on scraps of paper, and my kitchen wall. And while I wish his artwork wasn’t so predominant, I happily engage his creativity. Why? Because it helps him focus, it encourages self-expression, and coloring improves muscle dexterity.

Finger paint

Finger painting is fun for children of all ages, but it can be messy. Try giving your 1-year-old a pile of paint and you’ll see what I mean. However, it doesn’t have to be messy. Simply put a sheet of paper and a few drops of acrylic paint in a Ziploc bag and voila! Your little one can squish and spread the paint through the plastic bag. You have tons of mess-free fun.

Shop finger paints online.

Paint in the bathtub

Looking for another mess-free way to let your little one play? Consider letting your child paint in the bathtub using finger paints.

While it may seem like your toddler needs a lot of attention, you do not need to invest a lot of money to keep them entertained. Rather, you just need to be inventive, innovative, and creative. Play will happen. Fun will follow. We promise.

Outdoor Learning Activities for 1 Year Olds

When you are looking for learning experiences for your 12-18 month old child, don’t overlook simple and easy things! Here are a few of our favorite things to do outside that allows your 1 year old to learn through play:

32. One Year Old Explorer

Explore the backyard or a common area near your home. Once your child has explored everything about the area, have some fun by hiding a plastic egg or small ball for them to discover.

33. Rock Hunter

Go on a rock hunt. Take a walk around your town or neighborhood looking for rocks, acorns or leaves.

34. Playground Fun for 1

Go to a playground. Your 1 year old may not be able to participate alone on everything at the playground, but if it is a quiet morning without a lot of kids playing, you might be able to try some of the “big kid” equipment with your help, supervision or participation. Try sliding together down the slide or swinging on the big kid swing in your lap.

35. Picnic for 1 Year Olds

While you are at the park or in your backyard, have a picnic snack. Kids will have so much fun eating outside especially if they normally always sit in a high chair at home. Choose easy finger foods and bring a blanket for the special occasion.

Developing Skills of Your One Year Old

If you loved these 1 year old activities, let’s talk a little bit about modifications for kids who are just a little bit older like 18 months. I mention this not just because people with an 18 month old might be seeking this information, but because in the first year your 1 year old is growing and developing new skills and one of the best things for kids is to be challenged a bit…pushing the edge.

Knowing where this is all headed and what skills are just a step ahead can help you guide your 1 year old, 18 month old, 2 year old…’s play in a healthy way. And don’t get worried about things they haven’t mastered yet…you have a long time ahead for such things.

Important Milestones for One Year Olds

What should a 1 year old be learning?

I like to think about what my 1 year old should be learning more about providing rich play experiences instead of a rigid list of skills. Everything your 1 year old NEEDS to know can be learned through exploring the world around him/her. I know this list of play ideas for kids 12-18 months may seem structured, but let each idea be the START of a play experience that doesn’t have to go the same way it did for the author of each activity. Let your child take it the way that makes sense for them and have fun with it along the way!

What is normal behavior for a 1 year old?

I hate the word NORMAL when it comes to a 1 year old and how they act! Each baby is so different and reacts to their world in different ways. Generally 1 year olds are opinionated which may look like being stubborn, but think of it more as passionate! They tend to know what they want to do and how they want to do it. They will be exploring and watching everything. They are paying more attention to what you say and do than it might appear. They are active and may or may not be talking, while most 1 year olds may know about 50 words they often are quiet about it for a few more months. They are often saying all of those words by age 2.

What words should a 1 year old know?

Your 1 year old will likely know words that he/she is passionate about. If they love cars, trains, cats, dogs or garbage trucks, those are words that they not only recognize but might start saying. You will see a progression in understanding of what YOU say and what they say over this year and by age 2, most kids are speaking at least 50 words in 2 word sentences.

Activities for 18 Month Old

The awesome thing is everything on this list is a great starting point for an older baby of 18 months. Depending on the developmental level of your 18 month old child (they all mature at a different rate), you might need to modify the games and activities just a little.

When you are thinking about 18 month activity modifications, concentrate on curiosity and coordination whether you are doing indoor activities or out for fresh air.

Curious Activities for 18 Month Old

Choose activities and games for your 18 month old that leverages that they are curious about everything and it takes many shapes. They want to know how things work, how things are put together, how things are in order, how things are decided, how things are scheduled, how things feel, how things taste…and so much more.

Adding a sense of curiosity to a regular game or activity can keep an 18 month old more engaged in that activity for longer and overcome their short attention spans. Allowing some supervised freedom to explore can keep their innate learning sparked.

Gross Motor Skills Development Activities for 1 Year Olds

An 18 month old is developing coordination at a very rapid rate…if only we could harness that later in life! When you think of coordination, you may have heard of the phrases gross and fine motor activities.

What should a 1 year old be able to do?

In general, anything with “big movement” of the larger bones and muscles of the body and trunk are considered gross motor activities. Gross motor activities for 18 months olds:

• Stable walking
• Ability to run short distances
• Jump up high enough with both feet that they aren’t touching the floor
• Jump off a low surface like a step
• Kick a ball
• Walk up/down stairs holding onto something
• Will squat and stand on tip toes while holding onto something while playing
• Pushes, pulls and rides on toys
• Can throw a ball

You can see how all these 18 month old gross motor skills are based in play! The good news is that if your child seems delayed in one or two of these, it can be improved with activities and play that surround that skill.

Fine Motor Coordination Activities for 18 Month Old

When we talk about 18 month level fine motor skills, we are talking about the smaller movements that require a more intentional level of coordination. Simply, it would be the child’s ability to negotiate smaller items and more nuanced movements.

Fine Motor Skills that an 18 Month Old Usually has Mastered:

• Drink from a cup by themselves
• Eat with a spoon
• Hold and color with a crayon & scribble – check out our huge selection of easy coloring pages to download & print
• Undress themselves with easy clothing pieces
• Make a stack of 2-3 blocks
• Turn door knobs
• Put up to 4 rings on a peg
• Hold a book and turn pages — not expected at this stage to turn just one at a time.

Again, here you see that everything that is developmentally maturing at 18 months is based on play. And because every child is different, looking at the big picture on all these skills is important!

One of the easiest play ideas is to use pom pom activities. We have created a collection of over 20 ideas that are easy to do at home or in day care.
