AD: Wicked Christmas Gifts For Kids Under 1
As a new mummy, I spend a lot of time preparing, planning and enjoying first milestones with my little baby Jack. In a few weeks we’ll be enjoying his first Christmas and out first festive season as parents and, already, the excitement levels are rising in our house. It’s so important for us to make incredible new memories, enjoy every second of time together and make the most of happy times – so, as you can imagine, this year is going to be a big one! I’ll be doing lots of my shopping with Wicked Uncle – my go-to for all things unique Christmas gifts, sensory and motor skill learning perfect for our perfect first Christmas!
Developmental & Sensory Toys
By Christmas, Jack will be around the nine month mark. Already, he’s so into everything; he’s not quite crawling yet but he’s fearlessly throwing himself around the living room, grabbing everything he can and making mischief wherever he goes.
This Christmas, I want to invest in toys that will help his motor skills develop, grow his curiosity and help him learn through play. Luckily, Wicked Uncle has so many toys that will help me do that without breaking the bank.
Here are my top developmental focused toys:
The Magic Touch Guitar & Rotating Music Box are at the top of my list for my active, noise-loving boy!
These gorgeous wooden toys will help Jack make lots of noise, explore with his hands and start shuffling towards things that move on their own. Wicked Uncle’s beautifully made wooden toys always stand the test of time, they are timeless in appearance and hardy even in the arms of an excited baby!
We try to encourage Jack to stack, push over and build with his toys. I must spend hours of my life putting things in and out of saucepans, acting surprised when they fall out and then re-stacking them again just to see his face light up. Toys like the Bunny Stacker with 5 sensory pieces will take that to a whole new level this Christmas.
Our house is NEVER quiet – if the radio isn’t on, the TV’s blaring with music and lights and we’re chatting away to each other. Jack loves to be involved, sing songs, clap his hands and dance so the Clever Composer Tune Table is going to be perfect for him and will grow with him through the next year.
Puzzles & Games
Wicked Uncle has so much choice when it comes to puzzles, stacking and building games so, naturally, plenty of toys have fallen in my basket.
This Christmas, I am going to invest in toys that will grow with Jack through 2023 instead of buying bits that he’ll be too old for in a matter of weeks. With Wicked Uncle, you can do that without running up a huge bill.
Here are my picks:
The Dinosaur Sound Puzzle will be the perfect noisy toy to keep Jack entertained in the living room when he’s a bit older. The pieces are large and easy to handle which makes them perfect for his growing hands.
Steggy The Fine Motor Dino has already been purchased for closer to his first birthday. I can’t wait to see him enjoy stacking, making noises like a dinosaur and learning as he goes.
Bath time is a highlight in our house and the Stacking Pyramid Water World will go down a treat! I’m going to buy this and keep it at my sister’s house for when we have sleepovers and bath time there.
As a kid, I have vivid memories of a toy just like the Daisy Shape Sorter, I loved sorting the blocks into colours and then shapes and posting them through. A toy like this may have helped my creative spirit grow even as an infant.
Plush Toys
Jack already has plenty of sort, cuddly and plush toys but we plan on getting him some more for nap times and bedtimes out and about. Wicked Uncle has plenty to choose from for Jack’s age:
My husband is a big football fan and he’s always dreamt of having a boy like Jack so that he could go and play football and talk football talk morning, noon and night. That’s why the My First Football set is perfect for a sweet Christmas gift.
At 8 months, Jack now sleeps in his room (more on this coming soon) and I plan on getting him this lovely Kaloo Chubby Glow In The Dark Bear as a comforter.
My final Wicked Uncle soft toy purchases would be the Superhero Bunny, it’s so cute and fluffy and perfect for helping me teach the baby how to be brave like a superhero. I’m also planning on purchasing the Dino Roar Four Noisy Dinosaurs for when he’s a little older.
