Best Activity Table for 1 Year Old : 2020 Reviews and Buying Guide

Emma Davies

You will find hundreds of activity tables on the market whether they be online or in a local shopping centre. They are all very similar but may have slight variations in colours, themes or what activities are included.

Activity tables are an excellent example of multi use toys which take up less space, if space is a premium in your home. They have many different activities in one place and they all pack up into the space the size of the table.

A few key points to consider when purchasing an Activity Table for one year old :

Cost: Toys can vary in price hugely, depending on where they are being purchased from and the brand of the toy. If you are going to make a significant financial investment in a toy, ensure that it will continue to grow with the child and not be thrown on a shelf when the child becomes too old to play with it in a few weeks time.

 Durability: Toys that stand the perils of being played with by little people all day are the best investment. Toys that are well made out of durable materials such as plastic (as a parent I am trying to limit the amount of plastic toys that we purchase in order to be more environmentally friendly), wooden toys are fantastic and the feel of a natural material for children is exciting.

Longevity: in my opinion the best toys you can buy are the ones that children continue to play with, well after the suggested age range has come and gone.
