This a nice, but misguided thought, IMHO. The closest you can get to "programming" at that age is general problem solving. 1-year olds are already constantly learning and problem-solving as it is. Basic problems of hand-eye coordination, identifying things and people. Any generic toy you give them is a problem waiting to be solved. Shapes, colours, moving parts can add to the learning experience. This is just IMHO, because the above being said, you see 2-year olds with their own personal iPads these days, so perhaps I'm just old-fashioned.
