Best one year old toys?

Hi Ladies

Jackson is coming up one, and I am stuck with ideas on what to get him. DH wants to get him a trike (Jackson loves wheels!) but I think hes a bit too young for that yet. Anyone got any recommendations? Im sick of buying things that hes not interested in.
Im just looking for a fail proof "sure to play with" type of toy.

Issy 's her little people sets (especially the ones that she can make do things, like make noise). She got quite a few sets for her first birthday.

This is her playing with her world .. lol



What is awesome with them is that they are designed to last up till 4 as they do things that are suitable for each learning stage.

We're having the same problem.
Thomas is 1 very soon and he's already got a fancy trike (my nanna got him one for xmas cuz she said she's not gonna be around for when he can use it) Its got a full harness on it like his pram, but he's still too little.
Im thinking of getting him more farm yard toys - he's got this one with a carosel on that sings stupid songs and he loves it.

I think mega blocks are great for that age. My son played with them heaps in between one and two. He now has moved on to duplo but still plays with his mega blocks from time to time.
I also think nesting toys are good for that age.
Plus the little bikes you can get that they move with their legs. We got one from the Warehouse for under thirty dollars and it got heaps of use at that age and the months following.

a push around trolley. got one for taine for his first xmas (11 months old) and he still uses it.

Ethan still puts most things in his mouth but his most used toys are the push along trolley(cause even though he walks well he loves pushing it) and his worm tunnel that he climbs through.. the other things he plays with a lot are the containers that he puts pegs and things in and out of and he loves to stack wooden blocks from his trolley.. he doesn't really stop and play with sets of things he's more of a see how it works push it along kinda guy:)

Ooh yes Rowan got one of those for Christmas (a week after her birthday) and she 's it. Still plays with it almost every day.

Thanks ladies
Jacksons got a few ride on toys already. I think blocks, little people and the busy ball popper are a go.

The gremlins are huge Little People fans, they have heaps of sets - the castle, farm, house, circus, circus train, bus, fire truck... They're a great thing to suggest if people ask what they should buy as presents too coz they range from $10 upwards so they can choose what they want to spend. They last for ages too - some of the ones we have used to be Maya's and are still going strong.
