What activities are good for a 1 year old?

Good activities for a 1 year old include singing and rhymes, simple instruments, stacking and posting toys, pushing walkers, reading board books and sensory play. Repetition matters — babies this age love doing the same thing again and again.

Songs and rhymes

Repeating familiar songs with actions helps one-year-olds anticipate, join in and learn early words.

Movement

Crawling games, cruising around furniture and bouncing to music all support gross motor development.

Classes

Rhythm Time Baby classes (6 to 14 months) and Toddler classes (14 months to 3 years) are built around these same songs, rhymes and movement ideas.
