WHEN I AM...1
One-year-olds are quickly expanding their range of physical capabilities as they are more aware of and in control of their bodies. They love to crawl, creep, walk, and climb on furniture and thrive in large, safe, spaces. They can stack two or three blocks and enjoy taking things apart and taking items in and out of containers, boxes, and cupboards.
One-year-olds are having fun learning about words and becoming more social with parents, grandparents, and other children around them. They are curious and are learning through their senses. They also enjoy simple songs and rhymes, clapping and shaking musical instruments.
