pretend play set

[Felt Crafts] Vegetables, Carrot, Easy, Child-Friendly Toy, Pretend Play

How about a handmade play kitchen set for a curious one-year-old who’s starting to show interest in all sorts of things? If you make it with soft-feeling felt fabric, it will turn into a warm, cozy piece.

You can hand-sew each item with care, and even beginners at sewing can get started easily.

Try choosing items your child might like, such as vegetables, fruits, or sweets! You could also add features that let parts be attached and removed with snaps or hook-and-loop fasteners—your child will love that, too.

first shoes

[Free pattern available] How to make baby shoes with DAISO suede | First shoes | How to make Baby Shoes | First Shoes

Introducing handmade first shoes that make a perfect gift for a one-year-old who’s just started walking! Amazingly, you can even make them with materials from a 100-yen shop, so why not give it a try? First shoes lovingly handmade will become a lasting memory.

The outer fabric of the shoes uses suede scraps, and the lining is cotton, suitable for babies who tend to sweat.

The method involves cutting the pieces according to the pattern and sewing them together with a sewing machine.

You can also customize the color combinations and decorations to suit your child’s gender and style!

Handmade educational toy

[Home Montessori] 17 DIY Learning Materials from the 100-Yen Shop for Ages 0–3

Isn’t your one-year-old starting to show interest in everyday objects? This time, we’re introducing educational toys you can make from used boxes, cans, and plastic bottles! The great thing is you can recycle items you already have at home.

For example, playing with a toy made from a can and a stick helps develop the action of “hitting.” Using a box and balls helps children learn the action of “dropping.” In this way, we can support your child’s growth using familiar, everyday materials.

a toy that makes sounds

[Handmade Instruments] Make Maracas with Things at Home: A Fun Activity to Do with Your Kids

Sound-making toys that stimulate a one-year-old’s five senses are also great for Christmas gifts! You can easily make them with items you have at home, like plastic bottles and toilet paper rolls.

Cut off the neck of a plastic bottle, roll a toilet paper core that’s been cut lengthwise, and insert it into the bottle neck.

Shape it and secure it with vinyl (electrical) tape.

Next, cover the hole of a capsule toy with masking tape, and put in beads, buttons, or any materials you like.

Set that into the bottle neck and secure it with vinyl tape—and you’re done! It’s also fun to decorate the handle with stickers or patterned tape.
