The Toys 1–2 Years collection at The Memo features a curated range of playful essentials for toddlers on the move. At this age, everything is a learning opportunity—so we’ve selected toys that support skill-building without sacrificing fun. These are the products that will help your baby build strength, coordination, and confidence while giving you moments of calm (or at least a break from constant carrying).
Whether it’s pushing a cart, flipping through a fabric book, or making a tower only to knock it down, this age is all about action. We’ve got toys that nurture fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, cause-and-effect understanding, and early language development. Many are made from durable, sustainable materials and are safe for everyday use.
