What's a good birthday present for a 1 year old boy?

Pretty much anything. Often even the box it came in is fun for them. :-).

Duplos, simple puzzles, board books, fingerpaints (under serious supervision), a cool t shirt for Baby and Mom (and Dad) a safe toybox or shelf to put his stuff on! A picture frame, too, for his first birthday.

My twins received the Fisher Price Mailbox toy for their 1st birthday. They love it. At 14 months one is even carrying it around know.

My 10 month old granddaughter loves the Baby Moves Baby Einstein video and it's also very educational.

I love these: Busy Activity Block - Educational Toddler Activity Toy First ABCs Soft Nesting Blocks and First ABCs Board Book Set Sock Monkey Stuffed Toy And my absolute favourite: Wheely Bug Ladybug. Not cheap, but really great! (The small one is for Small is for 18 months - 3 years, so might be still just a bit too early).

One good present are toys that have music and many colors. For a one year baby there is this toy named Einstein. It looks like a sailboat and it has three button (different colors) .

When the baby touches the buttons he hears a piece of music (no words) and the buttons light up. The toy has another setting, that allows the baby to touch the buttons and hear a musical note when the buttons lights up. It sounds like a simple toy, but my three boys and nephews loved this toy when they were one.

The toy is not loud, so I love it too.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
