I really wish people would declare ages when talking about kid toys. Anywho, any banger toy recommendation for a 1yo?

Literally something to bang, like a toy hammer.

Or take them to a library that has toys, see what they play with, and then go buy that.

Board books. Adult reads, let the child turn the pages.

Simple kinetic toys, of the sort where you put a ball in a hole and it pops out somewhere else. Same pleasure as a marble run, without the choking hazard.

Adult mimicry toys, like play kitchen, doctors bag, etc. With the right setup and creative inspiration they can learn to putter about inventing simple tasks and executing them.
