I know this isn’t anything special but it is loads of fun – and it’s what I’m getting for my nephew who is turning 1! Instead of sitting in front of a toy, this requires him to stand and practice those walking feet. It develops their sense of balance and coordination. But of course, the best part is that it will distract him for hours (ok, maybe not hours but many many minutes). I love holiday shopping for tots, it makes me feel like a kid and I actually feel like I want to play with some of these. I love Christmas more now as a parent than I did as a kid, I am already giddy with holiday spirit. At Amazon
