Great Birthday Gift For A First Birthday

A first birthday is such a fun celebration!  Finding the perfect gift for that birthday boy or girl can be a little challenging.  There is the classic baby doll for a girl or a truck for that sweet little boy, but how many of those toys will they get?  You want a toy that they will love forever, one that will grow with them and that they will get so much enjoyment out of, but what is that gift.  You don't want something that will break easily or won't hold up to the test of time.
Well I have the perfect solution for that first birthday!  Wooden Blocks!  I know it seems so simple but stay with me.  Most classic wooden blocks are colorful, have letters and shapes on them, and are stackable.  Stacking blocks develops your child's cognitive skills which is important for a growing brain.  Letters and colors are also great learning tools. 
Blocks can be used to simply stack, or you can use them to build grand castles!  Your child will have to use their imagination again and again when it comes to playing with blocks.  Of course we all want our child to develop a wonderful imagination.
I can honestly say that through all of the toys we have had in our home the blocks are a staple.  They get played with again and again.  They are perfect for all ages, and I know it will be the toy I keep around for my grandkids!
