Things to Teach a 1 Year Old
Looking for things to teach a 1 year old? Get ideas for educational games, sensory activities and places to go with your toddler, at home and out and about!
I’ll admit, I’m the mom who wants to make sure her kids are learning all they can, even when they were at a young age. After all, we’ve heard that kids are primed to learn about the world, and that giving them a head start can make a huge difference in how well they do in school.
That said, I’m the last mom who’ll stress about milestones or rely solely on apps and enrichment classes. It shouldn’t matter that your friend has already been teaching her toddler how to say the alphabet and sing nursery rhymes for months. I truly believe we can give toddlers all they need to learn using simple activities. That being more intentional about our interactions is far more effective than a strict curriculum.
This is especially helpful to the mom who’s mostly home with her 1 year old all day and is looking for fun activities.
Maybe you’ve been bored with your go-to agenda and are looking for ways to make your days more enriching and enjoyable. Perhaps you’d like to come up with a loose “lesson plan”—ideas to organize your days to stay focused. Otherwise, you end up slacking and going back to the same ol’, same ol’.
Or you feel like you’ve been doing your 1 year old an injustice by not being more purposeful with your activities.
So, what activities can you do, from educational games to places to take a 1 year old?
Things to teach a 1 year old
You’ve come to the right place, friend.
This list of things to teach a 1 year old is for the mom who wants a good balance of intentional teaching but with everyday activities. The mom who knows it’s less about formal teaching and more about guiding her child and providing the environment to do so.
Take a look at these easy things to teach a 1 year old, perfect to run through when you’re low on ideas or want to create a lesson plan:

1.
Early literacy
It always comes back to reading. So long as you’re reading all the time with your 1 year old, he’ll learn everything he needs when it comes to early literacy. Research shows that kids learn vocabulary words when they’re read to, preparing them well for when they eventually go to school.
Here are a few ways to incorporate reading into your daily life:
- Read the same number of books every night before bedtime.
- Leave books easily accessible and everywhere around the house.
- Make frequent trips to the library (and regularly borrow books each time).
- Point out new words in your environment.
- Read for pleasure yourself to model what readers do.

2. Self-sufficiency skills
Your 1 year old is making the shift away from the infancy stage and toward toddlerhood, gaining independence along the way.
Thinking of her as anything but a baby can be difficult, but this is the perfect opportunity to practice self-sufficiency skills.
Thankfully, your days are filled with plenty of chances to do just that. Here are a few examples:
- Feeding. Allow her to feed herself, however gradual the stages. If she can’t poke her food, poke it for her but allow her to put the fork in her mouth. Offer simple snacks she can grab and chew, or let her drink from a regular cup.
- Getting dressed on her own. Your 1 year old isn’t going to be tying laces any time soon, but she can start with simple ways to dress herself. For instance, have her slip her arms through the sleeves, pull her pants up, or unsnap a simple button.
- Cleaning up toys. Putting toys away can teach sorting and counting, as well as the importance of responsibility. After every play time, encourage her to help you put toys away, even if it’s simply to put balls back into boxes and push the box into a shelf.
- Independent time. As necessary as your guidance will be, giving her uninterrupted, time on her own will allow her to be creative, push herself, and learn from mistakes.

3. Communication skills
You’ve been showing your child how to communicate from day one. But now that she’s better able to express himself, you can use this stage to teach her different ways to do so.
For instance, you can teach simple baby sign language for common words. I taught my kids signs for “more,” “all done,” and “eat,” among other words. You can also start pointing things out around the house as you use them. “I have the ball!” you might say, or “Would you like a banana?”
Start labeling feelings, from mad to happy to sad (here are several children’s books about feelings to read). This will come in especially useful as she begins to experience challenging feelings.
She can use words instead of resorting to tantrums and hitting.
And finally, have frequent conversations, describing what you’re doing. Make it a two-way conversation, as impossible it might seem at first. Leave a pause or space for her to “respond,” even if it’s not with your typical words. This will teach her social skills and rudimentary ways to communicate.
4. Social skills
One year olds are still the centers of their worlds when it comes to social development.
They won’t “play” together the way older kids can, and if anything, will simply sit next to each other in parallel play. They know other people exist, but they’re only slightly interested in them, and certainly can’t imagine what they’re thinking.
But that doesn’t mean they can’t or don’t need to practice social skills at this age. Your 1 year old will most likely learn from imitating you, making modeling good behavior between the two of you even more important. As such, he’ll also need your guidance through trickier social conflicts he might face.
Giving him plenty of opportunities to socialize, in his 1 year old ways, is important. Library story time or play groups (especially with people he’ll see regularly) are great places to start.
5. Singing songs
Don’t worry if you don’t exactly have a “singing voice”—your 1 year old won’t know the difference, or care for that matter. Instead, surround him with daily singing, from songs you love to nursery rhymes. Here are a few ideas to incorporate songs into your daily life:
- Play nursery rhymes all day. Download songs on your phone or computer, and keep them on during the day to encourage you to sing along.
- Sing interactive songs. Plenty of songs include physical participation, like The Hokey Pokey, Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, The Chicken Dance, and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. You can even play “regular” songs with a dance component, like The Cupid Shuffle or The Macarena.
- Sing in the bath. Make your daily bath even more fun by singing songs as you wash up. Take a look at these bath time books for kids.
6. Colors
One of the first activities my kids’ preschool—and later, kindergarten—teachers did was to “test” kids on their colors. My kids came home with sheets of coloring they did in class, clearly an effort from the teachers to know whether the students knew one color from the next.
In other words, colors matter. And thankfully, you can start talking about colors now in everyday life. You can:
- Point out different colors while playing with toys. You can say, “Here’s the blue block,” “Let’s put all the red balls here,” or “I’ll use the green crayon.”
- Mix colors together. From play dough to paint, show your 1 year old the cool effects of mixing colors together.
- Sort by color. Do you have a bunch of “stuff” that can be sorted by color (for instance, puff balls or building toys)? Make a game by laying out bowls and putting each puff ball or block onto the plate with the same color.
Let him set the pace and direct his learning and playing. He might decide to play with the puff balls instead of sorting them onto the same-colored plates—that’s totally fine. Focus on creating a safe area for him to have as much freedom while you observe.
7. Counting
As you talk with your 1 year old, make it a point to count throughout the day. This will help him learn number sequence and realize that counting is part of everyday life. You’re not out to teach him hard math (or even basics like adding), but exposing him to the idea of counting quantities.
You can count the number of steps you take up a flight of stairs, the crackers you’re putting on his plate, or the times you pass a ball back and forth.
Learn how to help your child love math.
8. Stacking
Disclosure: This article contains affiliate links, which means I will earn a commission—at no extra cost to you—if you make a purchase.
One of the milestones I was asked to check off in the pediatrician’s office was whether my kids can stack multiple blocks on top of each other.
Block building teaches hand-eye coordination, cause and effect, and comparisons, among other benefits.
Blocks come in many, many forms. One of the first I introduced to my kids were square foam blocks like these. They’re all square, which makes it simple to stack, and come in different colors so you can sort and differentiate.
And remember to let him knock the blocks down, too. That’s just as fun and educational as building them up.
9. Things about our world
Something as simple as exposing your 1 year old to things about our world can be fun for the both of you. For instance, you might read about fish in a book, then visit an aquarium so he can see fish in person. Here are a few more ideas:
- Visit farm animals (check out these children’s books about farms)
- Take a train ride
- Play with toy cars
- Go to the zoo
- Walk around the neighborhood
- Go to a botanical garden
10. Explore the outdoors
Being outside offers your 1 year old many learning opportunities, from nature objects to observe to exploring with her hands.
And by outdoors, we’re not talking about a weekend camping trip—something as simple as a visit to your local park or playing in the yard will do.
Allow her to walk on different paths, collect twigs, and grab fistfuls of grass. Look up at the clouds, point out different birds, and compare insects you might come across.
Outdoor time can also be play time: push her in a swing, play in the sandbox, or chase her across the lawn.
Take a look at these outdoor activities for 1 year olds.
11. Arts and crafts
Yup, 1 year olds can start doing arts and crafts, but not in the way you might imagine. You’re not out to complete a finished product, but to provide your toddler with art supplies for open-ended play. Scribbling and making a mess are totally fine!
For instance, supply your home with:
- Crayons
- Play dough
- Glue sticks and bits of paper
- Finger paint
- Stickers
Tip: Save any cardboard box you receive in the mail for instant fun with art!
Take a look at more crafts for 1 year olds.
12. Sensory activities
Sensory activities allow your 1 year old to explore using her senses. Thankfully, you can use materials around the house for fun sensory play.
And remember, there isn’t one “right” way to play—it’s more about setting up the environment and letting her take the lead. This will nurture his imagination, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.
A few ideas include:
- Squeezing water out of a sponge and into a bowl
- Playing with a water or sand table
- Making sudsy bubbles
- Painting in the bath tub
- Filling an Easter egg with dry rice and shaking it for music
- Play with musical instruments

Conclusion
We all want the best for our kids, right from the start. Now you have several activities that are fun, age-appropriate, and follows your 1 year old’s lead.
The best place to start is with reading books—make sure to include reading time into your daily routine.
Teach self-sufficiency skills from simple tasks like feeding himself. Practice communication and social skills, like labeling feelings and modeling appropriate behavior.
Sing songs, point out colors, stack blocks, and count items throughout the day. Expose him to things in your world, making sure to spend plenty of time outdoors. And finally, arts and crafts as well as sensory activities make discovery and learning fun and engaging.

“She learned so much during her time there and still asks to go back and visit her teachers.”

My oldest daughter first started attending First Discovery as a two-year-old in 2012 and attended through the School Age program in 2015. She learned so much during her time there and still asks to go back and visit her teachers. They really made her feel like she was part of a family at First Discovery so I had no concerns when it came time to enroll my infant in their infant program this year.
I know that she will be well taken care of and I never have to worry while I am at work. I also love that there will be cameras installed so that I can check in to see what she is doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend First Discovery to anyone looking for quality child care.

What can I say about First Discovery, first and foremost this place is God sent. The environment and vibe of the place is always positive and welcoming. I have a daughter who has been going here since she was 2 yrs old and now she is 5 and she loves it here . When she first started and was very shy always walking around with her blanket now she walks in full of energy and ready for the day.
I don’t give credit to just one teacher but all of them. This is the hardest job working with children but when you look at the classrooms and the teachers you wouldn’t think it was. I want to say thank you to all the teachers at First Discovery for making this a home for my family.

At what age should a child go to school? Advice on what documents are required
At what age to send a child to school
Every mother asks herself sooner or later, at what age should a child be sent to school. Sometimes it is really very difficult for parents themselves to assess the readiness of the child for school, to understand what initial knowledge a future first grader should have. Let’s try to figure out when you can send your child to school, and when you should not rush.
What the law says
The Law of the Russian Federation “On Education in the Russian Federation” clearly explains that children from 6.5 to 8 years old are taken to grade 1 *. The school can accept into the ranks of first-graders those who go beyond these age limits, but only at the request of the parents, with the permission of the school administration and after the commission, which will determine the readiness of the child for learning. In a word, it is quite possible that a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old will be at the same desk in the first grade. For parents, these 1.5-2 years seem like a whole abyss, because the memories of how they went for a walk to the playground with their newborn are still alive, and his current desk neighbor was already running and riding with might and main.
The oldest, the youngest – is it scary?
“What if my child will be the oldest or the youngest in the class?” parents are worried. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the readiness of the child to study at school.
And this indicator does not consist of age or, say, gender, but of completely different parameters: health status, adaptive abilities, the ability to find a common language with new friends, and many others. It is believed that it is children who have reached the age of 6.5 years who have a level of maturity sufficient for learning. They are physiologically and intellectually ready for a new life stage, they are psychologically ripe for learning, they have the necessary initial knowledge and skills. But each child is unique: for some, school maturity comes a little earlier than for peers, and for some, it is delayed at the start. And all this is a variant of the norm.
Only 10 percent of 6-year-old first graders are truly ready to learn.
With “spring” and “summer” children, everything is easier: by the time they enter school, they are more than 7 years old, and it is this ideal age that parents are guided by. “Autumn” children by September 1 are also close to the age of a first grader.
But moms and dads of “winter” children have a choice: take the baby to grade 1 at 6.5 years old or wait another year until 7.5. Both fit into the legal framework, and choosing the right option can be difficult. Early or later? You will have to look at the criteria for the readiness of the child himself for school.
Find out the level of preparation of the child for school
How do I know if my child is ready for school?
Intellectual development
Should a child have basic knowledge when entering first grade? No, the inability to read and write will not be grounds for refusing admission. No need to hire preschool tutors. He may know the alphabet, write in block letters, but this is not necessary. However, there are a number of skills that he must demonstrate. For example, that he knows how to memorize and analyze the material. Can read a poem by age, retell a short text. He knows in which country, in which city, at what address he lives, what are the names of his mother and father – his full name, not his home one.
It is important that he answers the questions not in monosyllables, but in detail, in sentences of 3–5 words, and knows how to use generalizing concepts. Describe an object, talk about a pet, name the author of a favorite poem – all this indicates that the child has a good “baggage of knowledge”.
+ Better earlier: the child is developed beyond his years and easily quotes his favorite works – it’s time for the first grade, regardless of whether he is 7 or not.
– Better later: the baby is experiencing difficulties in communication, it is difficult to get even a couple of words out of him, is he “confused in the testimony”? Leave him at home or in a preschool team for another year, work with him extra. Otherwise, learning problems will accumulate like a snowball.
First-grader speech development
The development of speech is very closely related to intellectual readiness for school. Good speech in many ways shapes the school maturity of the child, his readiness or unreadiness for learning – and suggests that he will learn to read and write easily.
+ Better before: the child does not know who a “speech therapist” is, clearly and correctly pronounces sounds, knows how to distinguish them by ear, find them in words. He has a good vocabulary appropriate for his age, he knows the meanings of words. His speech is coherent and expressive.
– Better later: if sounds are not given to the child. Vocabulary is poor. He does not know how to choose synonyms and antonyms (brave – brave, good – bad), or he needs more time to answer than other children. Shy, shy children can also experience learning difficulties.
Psychological readiness for learning
The psychological maturity of a child is largely an individual factor: someone is psychologically ready for school at the age of 5.5, and for someone it’s too early at 8. Of course, the chances that a child older than 7 years of age is psychologically prepared are much greater. School maturity is demonstrated by an understanding of how one should behave at school, the ability to work according to the model, follow the rules, etc.
Such an understanding of the situation (the so-called arbitrariness of behavior) is formed in children just at the age of 6.5–7 years, and even at 7 years old it is still imperfect, therefore, when choosing a school, it would be appropriate to pay attention to the possibility of soft adaptation (which modern textbook systems allow, for example, “Primary School of the 21st Century” – one of the main educational systems recommended for use). This will allow children with different levels of psychological readiness to feel comfortable in the first grade.
+ Better earlier: the child has learned social norms, understands instructions, knows how to follow the rules, understands cause and effect relationships. He has a good working capacity, he is diligent, has self-control skills. He is not registered with a neurologist and a psychiatrist. Calm, does not suffer from insomnia, dizziness, hyperexcitability, etc. He is active, sociable, knows how to easily meet and make friends.
– Better later: the baby has a “weak”, exhausted nervous system, there is a neurological disease. He suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Also, if he is anxious, withdrawn, everything falls out of his hands (which means that fine motor skills are also lagging behind), taciturn, conflict, restless and shows poor socialization skills.
The state of health of the future first-grader
All future first-graders must undergo a full medical examination and receive a doctor’s opinion on their readiness to study at a comprehensive school. Yes, compared to kindergarten, studying at school is a real job: instead of walking and daytime sleep, sitting at a desk, instead of playing, reading textbooks and the need to peer at the inscriptions on the blackboard. School meals are not for every child. An unusual environment, strict school rules make you nervous, and stress exacerbates chronic diseases.
+ Better earlier: if the child is completely healthy, does not suffer from chronic diseases, and has colds at most 4-5 times a year.
His physical development corresponds to age norms or slightly ahead of them.
– Better later: the child has any chronic diseases (adenoids, diabetes, etc.), he gets sick 10-12 times a year, he is called “often sick”. It is better to devote an extra year to hardening, increasing immunity and general recovery.
Motivation to learn and willingness to learn
Trying to answer the question of when to take a child to first grade, mom and dad often forget to ask the child himself: does he want to study? Curiosity greatly affects at what age to send a child to school and whether it will be easy for him there. After all, if learning is interesting, you run to school, and if not, learning is equal to torment. If by the age of 6–7 the child does not show interest in learning, parents and educators should join their efforts in this direction: support the child in his desire to learn, talk with him about how interesting school life is, how many new friends he will have and how exciting it is to learn something new every day.
You can play – “rehearse” lessons and changes, the answers are at the blackboard, you can go on an excursion to the school and look at the reaction of the child. And remember that the desire of the child, and not the ambitions of the parents, in this case is a priority.
What parents of future students should not be guided by:
-
the opinion of others – “And the grandmother thinks that it’s time”,
-
their parental ambitions – “Others went to school, but what’s worse for mine ?,
-
the fact that a class is recruited by a good teacher – if the student is not ready, even a good teacher will not meet parental expectations,
-
with their ideas about childhood friendship – “Oh, well, all his friends have gone to first grade, he will be bored!”,
-
unwillingness to take care of the child – “They will teach you everything at school, I would like to give it back as soon as possible.
”

Child psychologists, defectologists, speech therapists offer their assistance to parents in matters of the child’s readiness for school. Today, specialists in the field of child developmental psychology have developed many tests that can be used to assess the level of development of a preschool child in different age periods. Invite your child to take an online test on our website, and you will find out the level of readiness of your child for school, get recommendations from experts on preschool and primary general education.
Main terminal
You should not send your child to school, focusing solely on the opinions of friends, the rating of the school, and scattered recommendations on forums on the Internet. Remember that you are responsible to the child in your choice, trust him to the best, in your opinion, the first teacher, choose the “right” curriculum for which the first grader will study. The kid should be comfortable and interesting to learn.
The innate curiosity of the student, his cognitive interests need constant and regular support and development, and it is very important for parents to understand this when enrolling a child in the first grade. After all, it is in elementary school that the future of educational success of the child is laid.
*Law of the Russian Federation “On Education in the Russian Federation”, article 19. General education, paragraph 2.
Lawyers explained why a child may be denied admission to the 1st grade in Russia
. In which case the registration of children will play an important role in enrolling
A child will be denied admission to the 1st grade if he lives in another district, and there are no vacant places in the school the admission of applications for the first grades for the 2023/24 academic year starts. Starting from 2023, each school independently chooses the date and time to start accepting applications, but no later than April 1, according to the public services portal.
RBC Life found out from lawyers the nuances of entering school, which parents of first-graders should know.
A child cannot be denied admission to a secondary general education institution on the basis of his place of residence, if there are vacant places. Vladislav Demchenko, lawyer of the Moscow Bar Association, spoke about this in an interview with the editors.
“Quite often, parents want to enroll their child in a secondary school not at the place of registration. As a rule, this happens if the secondary school has high academic performance, has a certain bias – language, sports, creative, mathematical, and so on. In accordance with the law on education, a child cannot be denied admission to a secondary general education institution on the basis of his place of residence. However, the principal may refuse admission to the school if there are no vacancies left in it.”
Therefore, you should think about entering the school you like in advance.
It is also desirable to have a justification why the child should be accepted to this particular school. As Vladislav Demchenko said, he knows a case when a child engaged in fine arts was admitted to school on the basis of a creative exam, since the school had an artistic bias.
Photoagency Interpress / Global Look Press
“Because cases of refusal to admit children to the first grade of secondary school are quite common, there is also extensive judicial practice to challenge such refusals. As a rule, the courts make decisions in favor of the parents, based on the requirements of Russian law, which provide for the need to enroll children in the first classes if there are vacant places.”
If the school administration “hints” at a certain fee for enrolling in the first grade, the lawyer explained, then this is nothing more than a demand for a bribe.
“Such proposals should be responded to promptly. It is necessary to warn the school administration that in case of refusal to enroll a child without a “contribution”, a corresponding application will be submitted to the prosecutor’s office with a demand to investigate the legality of this requirement.
”
Komsomolskaya Pravda / Global Look Press
However, the school also has indisputable rights to enroll in the first grades, continued the topic in an interview with RBC Life, a member of the Chamber of Advocates of the Saratov Region, lawyer Anna Volodchenko.
She noted that in our country, children of the appropriate age are admitted to secondary school, in priority order – living in a certain area of \u200b\u200bthe city or settlement. In addition, there are categories of beneficiaries, which include children from large families, children of military personnel, employees of the judiciary and law enforcement system. First of all, disabled children, those whose brother or sister are already studying in this general educational institution, and children of employees of this school will also be admitted to the first class.
“All of the listed categories of children have the right to extraordinary admission to general educational institutions, they have no right to refuse them admission.
At the first stage, children who have an extraordinary, priority or preferential right, as well as those living in the assigned territory, are enrolled. In the second place, all other children are enrolled in vacant places.
In the case when there are no free places in the school, the child may not be enrolled if he does not live in the area, Volodchenko noted. The law gives the school such a right. But if the child is assigned to this school, then he must be accepted for training, even if there are no vacancies, the lawyer said. But there are precedents in judicial practice when an educational institution managed to defend its right to refuse admission in court.
“In June 2014, the Sovetsky District Court of the city of Lipetsk ruled in favor of the school, according to which the child’s enrollment was denied, since the parents did not prove his actual residence in the assigned territory. In addition, they applied for admission to the school ahead of the established application deadlines.
