“Toys for little ones are about more than entertainment—they create a sense of security, connection and curiosity. Through play, children discover the world, one small movement at a time.”

Toys for 1–2-Year-Olds – Little Discoveries and a Big Love of Play

Toys for children aged 1–2 should give little hands something exciting to explore and plenty of opportunities to try things for themselves. Perhaps it’s a tower to build and knock down, a doll to tuck in, or a cart to fill and empty. Great toys for a 1-year-old or a 2-year-old build on whatever sparks their curiosity right now.

At Lirum Larum Leg, you’ll find toys for 1-year-olds and 2-year-olds from brands including Djeco, Vilac, MaMaMeMo and Jellycat. We’re here to help you choose from different types of play, materials and opportunities for playing together or enjoying quiet moments of focused play. You can also explore our full selection of toys if you’re shopping for siblings at different ages.

Toys for 1-Year-Olds – Grasp, Stack and Explore

Good toys for a 1-year-old are easy to use and fun to play with again and again. Large pieces, simple activities and items that can be put in and taken out give your child the chance to explore with their hands. Always follow the age recommendation for the specific product.

A shape sorter invites your child to explore different shapes, while stacking toys can be used to build little towers and sort pieces. In our selection of shape sorters and stacking blocks you’ll find options at different difficulty levels. Start with just a few pieces, then build on the play as your child becomes interested.

If your child is keen to get moving, an age-appropriate push walker may also be worth considering. Let your child’s abilities and the manufacturer’s instructions guide you.

Toys for 2-year-olds – room for imagination and imitation

Toys for a 2-year-old can encourage them to imitate the little things we do every day. A doll is fed, a car goes visiting, and lunch is served in the play kitchen. You can join in by putting the play into words and following your child’s ideas.

In our selection of role-play toys you’ll find inspiration for little stories like these. The category includes products for different age groups, so always check the recommended age for each individual item. Age recommendations can vary even within the same brand.

If your child would rather sort and match, a simple puzzle or picture-matching game can be a lovely alternative. Let their interests guide your choice rather than expectations about what a 2-year-old should be able to do.

Learning through play – hands-on activities, movement and little conversations

Developmental toys for children aged 1–2 provide opportunities to practise skills through play. They don’t need to have lots of features: trying things out, discovering and repeating are all part of the fun.

  • Fine motor skills: Stacking blocks and turning pieces give little hands different tasks to tackle.
  • Movement: Pushing, pulling and moving things encourage children to use their bodies.
  • Language: Talking about animals, colours and actions gives you something concrete to talk about together.
  • Imagination: Pretending a teddy bear is eating or sleeping opens the door to the first little stories.

Feel free to offer a little help if play comes to a standstill, and give your child space to try again. The time you spend together is valuable in itself; the toy doesn’t have to lead to a particular result.

Choose toys for 1–2-year-olds based on your child’s interests

The best toy for your child is often the one they want to come back to. Some toddlers love moving around the living room, while others can spend a long time exploring a single block. You can choose toys based on your child’s interests, whether you’re shopping for a boy or a girl.

For a child who loves to push and transport things, take a closer look at ride-on cars and push-along wagons. For little hands that love building, blocks are a great place to start. Vilac, for example, offers wooden sound blocks in its range, listed for children aged 18 months and up.

Try to include a variety of activities: active play on the floor and a quiet activity together at the table can offer different options for everyday play.

Toys for 1–2-year-olds’ big and little discoveries

Wooden toys, cuddly companions and quality for everyday life.

Quality toys for 1- to 2-year-olds should suit both playtime and family life. Consider the size of the parts, how the toy is used and how it can be cleaned. Wood, textiles and plastic each have different properties; the material alone does not determine whether a product is suitable for a child’s age.

In our selection of wooden toys, you’ll find options for stacking, sorting and role-playing everyday life. A soft teddy can add something to cuddle and bring into play. MaMaMeMo offers both dolls and play food, while Djeco has, among other things, puzzles and creative activities.

Always read the product’s age recommendation, warnings and care instructions. A product marked as suitable from age 2 is not automatically suitable as a gift for a 1-year-old, even if it falls within the same broad age category.

Versatile toys for toddlers, with more than one way to play

Toys with different ways to play can take on new roles as your child develops new ideas and gains experience. Blocks can be explored one at a time, then stacked and perhaps turned into homes for little figures. A doll can be put to bed or join you at the lunch table.

You don’t have to buy a whole play world all at once. You could add age-appropriate accessories for a doll, or choose toys that complement something your child already loves. Check the size and compatibility of products that are meant to be used together.

Make room for floor play, too. You can find more inspiration among our products for active play and movement. Choose activities suited to the space you have at home and your child’s current abilities.

What toys are recommended for children aged 1-2 years?

Choose toys that suit your child’s age, interests and current stage of development, and that are simple to understand and handle. For children aged 1–2, stacking and nesting toys, large blocks, simple puzzles, musical instruments, vehicles and toys for early pretend play are all good options. Toys that can be used in different ways can also grow with your child’s play as new skills and interests emerge. Always check the product’s age recommendation and any safety information before choosing a toy.
What do children aged 1–2 years play with?

Children aged 1–2 years are naturally curious and learn best through movement, repetition, and imitation. During this stage, both fine and gross motor skills steadily improve, and many children delight in stacking, placing objects in and out, pushing, pulling, and building. Early role play becomes more important as your child begins to mimic everyday scenarios with dolls, play food, or vehicles. Motorisk legetøj, byggeklodser, and simple activity toys provide wonderful opportunities for your child to explore and play at their own pace.
