When you have a one year old, he or she is just learning about the world and giving the baby toys that can really help with that process is a great way to make learning fun and educational for your baby.
As one year olds are just learning about how to use their motor skills effectively and how things work around them, they love some sense of consistency and repetition. That is why one great toy that goes over well with one year olds is a Busy Ball Popper that was made by Playskool. This toy is bright in color and will attract your baby to it with its bright yellow bowl and orange tunnel. The baby will have five balls to drop into the bowl, then watch as it slides down the tunnel, and then it pops back up out again from the other side so they can start the entire process all over again. A toy like this would really please your baby as it would help them have that consistency and repetition that would bring them so much joy.
Sometimes at that age, if a baby sees something and then it disappears, it can cause some kind of cognitive dissonance in the child and make them feel alarmed or disturbed. That is why, with this toy, the baby sees the progress of the ball and then has it returned to them immediately to start the entire process all over again. As the ball always comes back, the baby will feel secure with the toy and will most likely spend a lot of time with it. Dropping the ball into the bowl will help the baby strengthen some motor skills of lifting and aiming and dropping and then doing it all over again.
Other toys that are wonderful for children that are one or younger are bouncy types of sit down toys. These are usually ones that stand on the ground and are fairly low. They can come in the shape of an animal, a car, or any other kind of thing upon which a seat is placed. The baby sits on it, holds onto the handles, and then bounces up and down on the springs upon which the toy is built. This usually gives the baby a lot of joy to feel that motion of being up and down and usually they will have to work hard with their legs jumping up and down to make the item go up and down. This will help your baby be active during playtime and will help the baby begin to pave the way for the world of imaginative playtime. If your baby is one, he or she might begin to imagine things as he or she rides on the bouncy toy, maybe recall instances of things he or she has seen on television or in real life and that is an important foundation for babies at that age.
Another great toy is made by Fisher Price and it is a toy animal farm with sounds. It comes with tiny figures, so it must be used for children that are one or nearly there and it is a farmhouse that stands almost the height of your baby sitting down. Your baby can arrange the farm yard figures in various places of the farm yard and press buttons that will play animal sounds that babies will love. Babies will be able to match the sounds to the corresponding animals and not only will it teach them what sounds various animals make, but will help them learn to make the sounds, too, enhancing their communication skills.

The last time Honda decided to make a "really big change" with its highly popular Civic line was in 2006. Indeed, the look caught so many people by surprise that the automaker is taking a "go-slow" approach with any changes they are making now.
