Parents often hang out in toy stores. What toys should they buy for the baby? We also tried to walk into the baby's room, where there were countless toys and dazzling things. But some babies don't have any toys. Therefore, I can tell the parents who are entangled here that toys don't care how many there are, but they must promote your baby's growth, and more is a waste of money!
Essential toy one: ball ball
Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? Playing with the ball is good for opening the baby's intelligence. Under the correct guidance of parents, the ball can become a good educational and learning tool. Now let's look at two ways to make your baby play ball correctly.
The game 1: Temptation is just ahead.
Age: 6- 12 months
Objective: The crawling and grasping ability of baby's two small hands can promote the development of limbs and hand muscles.
Preparation: Small balls, table tennis balls or touch balls with "thorns" must be bright in color to attract the baby's attention. The size of the ball is suitable for the baby's two small hands to hold.
Methods: Let the baby lie on the mattress or wooden floor and put the ball in front of him about 1 m; Hold the baby's feet with both hands and encourage him to climb forward. After the baby can climb, parents can put the ball farther away from him to attract the baby to climb over and get the ball at a faster speed.
Safety tip: Babies in this period like to put things in their mouths, so the balls should be disinfected every day. When the baby climbs on the bed, parents should stay by to prevent the child from falling off the bed. If you put your baby on the wooden floor in winter, you'd better lay a carpet to avoid catching cold.
Game 2: See who picks up more.
Age: 1 year and a half.
Objective: To exercise the baby's agility in squatting, bending and standing up. Cultivate the baby's observation, attention and patience, and naturally infiltrate the enterprising consciousness and the spirit of friendship and cooperation into the baby in a happy atmosphere.
Preparation: brightly colored, similar to plastic balls, plastic balls or table tennis in the ocean pool of amusement parks.
Method: Scatter the ball on the ground, and adults will take a baby or two or three babies to pick it up and put it in the designated container to see who can pick it up faster and more. You can also mix balls of different colors and let the baby pick them up and put them in different containers.
Safety tip: The site is flat. It is best to play this game on wooden floors, carpeted floors or grass, and avoid polishing floor tiles or marble floors. Too many children can't play together, otherwise they will compete with each other to pick up the ball and deliver it, which is easy to collide.
Basic toy 2: building blocks
Have you ever noticed that when the baby is playing with building blocks, he is always so focused that he doesn't even cry. Building blocks of different shapes are combined into a new work, which provides a broad imagination space for the baby and effectively promotes the development of the baby's creative thinking and aesthetic feeling. So, mothers buy them for their babies now. However, we should pay attention to guiding babies of different ages to play with building blocks and pay attention to the differences in gameplay.
1-2 years old: when playing with building blocks, parents can show them to their babies first, then inspire and help them to build tall buildings or take trains with building blocks, or teach them the shapes and colors of building blocks.
3-4 years old: it is more difficult for babies to play with building blocks. On the one hand, we should teach the baby the basic methods of building blocks, such as how to keep the structure stable and how to combine different shapes of building blocks together. On the other hand, it is necessary to teach the baby to build blocks according to the existing patterns and cultivate the baby's observation ability.
5-6 years old: the baby should pay attention to guiding the baby to develop his imagination and build works according to his own wishes. No matter how naive this job seems to adults, it should also be affirmed and encouraged to cultivate the baby's purpose and creativity.
Building blocks can not only build various objects, but also be a good tool for babies to learn mathematics. It can help the baby to understand various geometric shapes and their relationships, and also help the baby to classify and count according to the shape, color length and size of building blocks, thus deepening the baby's understanding of geometric shapes and mathematical concepts.
Essential toy 3: crayons
When the baby reaches a certain age, his hands begin to want to grab things. At this time, it is most appropriate to give him a crayon. Crayons may also make artistic geniuses.
1, parents should pay attention to teaching their babies to hold crayons. The correct grip should be: the length of the crayon should not be longer than the baby's tiger's mouth, mainly to let the crayon move completely in the baby's palm.
2, crayons should be held near the tip of the pen, so as to ensure the baby's coloring strength, wrists should be far away from the desktop, wrist joints and knuckles should be loose and flexible, not too tight, otherwise it will be easy to break and difficult to turn, which will affect the coloring quality.
3. When the baby draws, mom and dad should guide the baby to follow the contours of different objects and objects, from top to bottom, or from left to right, or draw with vertical lines, horizontal lines, diagonals, arcs and curves, which is more uniform and basically leaves no blank. If you paint the house, you can guide your baby to choose a good color in advance: red for the roof, light yellow for the walls and blue for the doors and windows. Brush the roof first, usually diagonally one by one. Don't apply it repeatedly. If there are too many colors, it is easy to overlap, and if the interval is too large, there will be blanks. Paint the wall, generally from top to bottom in outline, and the chimney can be painted into an arc.
Essential toy 4: plush animals
Babies of all ages like fluffy animal toys, especially girls. However, no matter what kind of plush toys, babies like to touch with their hands and "taste" with their mouths, so mothers should pay special attention to the safety of toy selection. Let's take age as the boundary and make a good analysis of this plush animal toy.
1 year-old: No matter where he goes, the baby likes to bring his special friends and give him a hug from time to time. At this age, some babies are so dependent on his plush toys that they even have to sleep with them.
2 years old: These babies who are about to enter kindergarten are busy with some simple pretend games all day, of course, with his plush toy friends, such as taking Didi the dog for a walk and feeding Teddy the bear. Anyway, the baby is very happy.
3 years old: With these plush toys, the baby began to show his unique creativity and imagination. For example, a teddy bear turned into a dinosaur, and a Gucci duck grew a pair of big wings and flew to the moon. What a lovely story! Sit down and listen to him patiently, and ask him "Why?" .
Essential toy five: simple puzzle
Puzzles are suitable for all ages and have endless fun. Especially for babies, it not only helps to concentrate and observe, but also helps to improve their visual space, image cognition and hand-eye coordination, so puzzles are an important means to open their intelligence. You might as well try it with the baby.
How to teach your baby to play puzzles;
0- 1 year: Look at the pattern.
0- 1 year-old baby, due to immature physical development, limited activity space. Therefore, this period is more suitable for him to see some toys and graphics with bright colors, clear lines and large patterns, and try to choose four primary colors of red, yellow, blue and green to prepare for the development of baby's visual image cognition.
1-2 years old: playing with assembled toys
/kloc-babies around 0/year old can walk, have a broad vision and greatly improve their cognitive ability of things and images. During this period, you can play with some simple three-dimensional toys for your baby. Some playthings on the market, such as detachable and assembled radishes, are good choices. This kind of toys can help the baby to initially establish the concept of whole-part-whole from disassembly to assembly, and can also promote the movement and development of hand muscles.
2-3 years old: play four puzzles
At the age of 2, the baby's "formal" jigsaw puzzle can begin. I suggest you play 4 puzzles with your baby first. When choosing a puzzle, you should pay attention to the pattern and lines of the puzzle to be large and clear, and the color blocks should be obvious.
Essential Toys VI: Musical Toys
Music can develop the baby's right brain and promote the baby's healthy growth. And music can cultivate the baby's temperament, the baby is quieter, and the mother is relieved.
Egg salad bell
Sand bell is a very popular musical instrument for children. Mothers can also play with their children. Even if the language ability is not mature, children can learn from their mothers to do some pretending actions, such as matching the lyrics of homemade children's songs, pretending to let children eat eggs, and stuttering or stuttering like their mothers, thus teaching children the ability to recognize language and instructions: children like exaggerated actions, and with their mothers' rich expressions, they can satisfy their imitation desires.
piano
Babies like to clap their little hands together on the piano keyboard, fiddle with the guitar strings with their fingers and drum hard. These are the normal performances of 2-year-old musicians. He just imitates adults after seeing them use musical instruments. Although the voice is not very nice, after all, the action is in place. What else can you ask him?
However, it should be noted that when buying a musical toy for your baby, make sure its surface is non-toxic paint. This is because your little Mozart occasionally experiences these toys with his mouth, even if it is a small drum or a piano, he will never let go. Dear mothers, don't blindly consider the price. The baby's health is the most important thing.
