1 Year Old Christmas Gift Guide

Posted on 11/01/202210/25/2022 by Addie

2022 Holiday Gift Guide for Babies/Toddlers

At one year, your toddler can do a lot more than he/she could just a couple of months ago. Each day they are learning something new, and constantly entering a new stage. They change so much from age 1-2. Toys can be tricky since they can outgrow them each time they move to a new stage of development, so I put this list together to provide a list that my kids have loved throughout their whole first year. (and even beyond!). Make sure you send the list to your family and friends too!

Best Gifts for 4 Year Old

2022 Holiday Gift Guide for 4 Year Olds

4 year olds are curious, opinionated, full of energy and are likely starting to become OBSESSED with something. It might be Lego, Barbie, Starwars, L.O.L or another IT brand out there. My guess is, that if they are obsessed with that something then you have a few good items you’re already thinking about for them. So, in this list, I am focusing on the gifts and toys that aren’t necessarily a brand specific item but toys and items that are great for helping them develop their imaginations, fine motor skills and gross motor skills.

I am a mom of 3, and I am sharing things that my current 5 year old gravitated towards when she was 4 – and of course items that she did not lose interest in after a couple of weeks. These are toys that keep getting used over and over again.

2022 Holiday Gift Guide for Preschoolers

At 3 years old, your child’s imagination is running wild, their language is rapidly developing and they are starting to become their own little person. Toys that are more open ended are great for this age. 3 is an amazing age, and as a mom of 3 (one of which is 3 right now) I have been able to watch my kids play and explore and see which toys they continue to gravitate towards day after day, and year after year.

Feel free to send this 3 year old gift guide on to your family members, friends and whoever else might need some good ideas for gift giving.
