Step2 Toys For 6 months, 1 Year, 2 Years Old Boys & Girls

Babies and young toddlers explore mostly through senses and simple, supported movement. Our range of toys for 1 year olds and younger leans into water and sand play, alongside push toys that let a child ride while an adult steers - genuine best toys for a 1 year old, not scaled-down versions of toys built for older kids.

The best toys for a 1 year old tend to be sensory-first - water and sand play tables are particularly well suited to this age because they don't demand much physical skill to enjoy. Browse our water table range and sand table range to see the styles available.

Educational toys for 1 year olds and toddlers also include push cars like the Whisper Ride II, which let a child feel like they're going somewhere while an adult still steers. As the authorised Australian Step2 distributor, our full range for this age is imported directly from the manufacturer.

Choosing toys for 0-2 year olds

The earliest stage of active play

Babies and young toddlers explore mostly through senses and simple, supported movement, so our range for this age leans into water and sand play - like the Rain Showers Splash Pond Water Table and Crabbie Sand Table - alongside push toys such as the Whisper Ride II and Whisper Ride Cruiser, which let a child ride while an adult steers. As the authorised Australian Step2 distributor, our range for this age is imported directly from the manufacturer.

Supported movement before independent play

At this age, most play still involves an adult's help or supervision close by - a push car like the Whisper Ride II lets your child feel like they're going somewhere without needing full independent coordination yet, and the Play and Fold Junior Slide is sized specifically for newly-walking toddlers rather than older, more confident climbers.

Sensory play does a lot of the work

Water and sand tables are particularly well suited to this age because they don't demand much physical skill to enjoy - scooping, pouring and splashing are accessible almost as soon as a child can stand and reach, which is part of why water play features so heavily in our range for babies and young toddlers.

Built for little hands and close supervision

Toys for this age need to handle being mouthed, dropped and handled clumsily as much as actively played with. Every product is made from durable, weather-resistant moulded plastic, backed by Step2's standard 3-year manufacturer's warranty, dispatched within 24 hours from our Melbourne warehouse with tracking on every order, and built to the same safety standards required for the childcare and early-learning centres we also supply.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly will my order arrive?

Orders leave our Melbourne warehouse within 24 hours, with tracking included so you know exactly when it'll arrive.

Are these genuine Step2 products, and what warranty applies?

Yes - we're the authorised Australian Step2 distributor, and our full range for this age group is imported directly from the manufacturer. Products carry Step2's standard 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

What are the best toys for a 1 year old?

Sensory play - water, sand, simple push-and-pull toys - tends to suit toys for 1 year olds best, since it doesn't require much fine motor control or coordination to enjoy. Water tables in particular are popular for exactly this reason, and educational push toys like the Whisper Ride II give a 1 year old a sense of independence while an adult still steers.

Is a push car safe for a young toddler?

Our push cars, like the Whisper Ride II, are designed for an adult to steer and control while your child rides, making them suitable well before a child could safely self-propel a ride-on. Check the specific product page for exact age guidance.

What's different about toys for this age compared to older toddlers?

Play at this age is generally more supported and sensory-focused - water and sand play, and adult-assisted riding - rather than the more independent, self-propelled or imaginative play that suits slightly older toddlers.

Is water play safe for very young children?

Our water tables are designed for supervised outdoor play and suit babies and toddlers from the age it's fun for them to stand and reach - always supervise young children around any water play equipment.
