Barely born, the baby begins to learnpeace. At first, he simply observes what is happening around him, the actions of his mother and father, and then he himself seeks to touch the objects around him, pat them and taste. Modern parents have great helpers - educational toys for children. Before the year, the child learns a lot, and this process of knowledge is very important. Let's take a closer look at what toys from the huge range offered by stores are really worth attention.
Это развивающие игрушки для детей до года, which are among the very first. Mobile, or carousel, hang over the child’s crib, fixing it on a special bracket. Usually it is equipped with several bright toys that vary in color and, possibly, in size. They move in a circle, and this is accompanied by a light, simple melody. The kid learns to follow the toys, watches them moving, and then tries to reach out to them. Later it will be possible to remove the suspensions from the base of the mobile and use them separately. They can have light effects, rustle or ring.
Если мобиль вешается над кроваткой, то коврик located just on the floor. It is also equipped with hanging toys. The kid reaches out to him, pulls out, explores. If a child lies on a rug on the back, he sees those pendants that are on an arc, but if he rolls over on his tummy, he will not be bored either, because on the basis of the ropes are usually attached, for which you can pull, rustling animals, and Even the mirror is, of course, completely safe for the child. Often, educational toys for small children (pendants) can be selected separately to the rug, because they are removable, as are the arcs themselves.
- Musical educational toys for children should not sound loud. The melody should be unobtrusive, light and pleasant.
- Pendants can have different shapes, sizes andtextures, but they must be bright and have a pleasant shade. It is better if it is one of the colors of the rainbow. But in any case, do not take toys of acid tones, they can be annoying, which will contribute to overexcitation of the child or his tiredness.
- You can purchase several toys of variousin form, tactile sensations and sounds made. It can be both wooden educational toys for children, and plastic, soft, etc. But it is not necessary to hang them all at once on the mat. It is better to alternate them so that they are not tired of the baby.
- When buying, pay attention totoys corresponded to real images. For example, a bird should be like a bird, not a hybrid of an elephant and an ostrich. And it is better if those who fly in nature will fly over the baby: birds, butterflies, bees, and let elephants and dogs stay on the ground.
С давних времен люди используют такие развивающие toys for children up to a year. First, the mother shows the baby a rattle, rings it, removes it from the child’s sight and checks how it reacts to other sounds. And then the baby itself, barely begins to confidently hold something in a tiny handle, takes a toy, tastes it (without this in any way), examines it, shakes it, and rejoices at its first achievements.
Rattle contributes to the development of auditory and visual perception, concentration. Some of them help to master the skills of fine motor skills.
For a very tiny baby who appeared onlight a month ago, it is better to choose small rattles on the handle or on the ring. It will be convenient to take them with a small cam and not hard to hold. Later it is already possible to introduce the child to other types of this toy. For example, for a change, you should purchase a rattle with beads or a “rumble”. It not only sounds, but also allows the child to develop fine motor skills, as he can pull the strings, move the elements, pull at the details. And most often such toys make no ringing sounds, but tapping or thundering.
According to many parents, pyramids arebest educational toys for children. They are suitable for those who have already turned six months. In such a small child, the toy helps to form sensorimotor coordination, and older children can study colors, sizes and shapes with its help.
For a baby up to a year, choose a pyramid of 3-4rings, not more. It will be difficult for him to arrange a large number of elements in the correct order. The rod should be short to make it easier for the child to remove the rings. It is better if the pyramid is plastic, it will be easier to wash it, and mom can be calm when the baby pulls it into her mouth.
Many educators of various ages, includingNikitin, Zaitseva, Montesorri, and others, believe that the best educational toys for children must include liners on their list. They can be of two types: frames and bowls. The first ones are volumetric boxes or frames in which cuts of various shapes are made. They, in turn, are inserted inserts themselves. Usually it is wooden educational toys for children. Bowls are a set of gizmos of the same shape and different sizes. Most often these are cups, cubes, halves of a ball, etc. They are inserted into each other or build a pyramid of them.
Playing with liners, baby gets the first knowledgeabout size, learns the ratio of the size and shape of objects, coordination of actions of hands and eyes. These toys are quite useful. They contribute to the development of imagination, because you can play with them in different ways. Again, you can arrange a first acquaintance with color. Useful inserts-bowls and in the sandbox, and in the bathroom, and even for an improvised tea party.
For children, such toys carry new discoveries andjoy. Take, for example, Yulu. It is easy to press on her pen as it spins. It is easy to imagine the delight and surprise of the child. Thus, dynamic toys are those that respond to purposeful effort. So, for example, modern robots do not belong to this category, because they are turned on by a button or remote control, and the baby does not recognize anything new for itself, cannot relate the action to the reaction.
In contrast, a dynamic toy helpsto establish the relationship between the impact on it and the emerging "surprise" - movement, sound, etc. This contributes to the development of cognitive activity. The best educational toys for children, if we talk about dynamic, are the following:
- Yulia. Popular at all times.To bring it in motion, you need to press a button or a pen. For a child it is important that he can do it himself, without the help of adults. He realizes that his action entails something unexpected.
Tops are different.Some simply spin, while others emit sounds, some are equipped with lighting effects, and others combine several functions at once. Musical educational toys for children will fit and very small. In this case, mom or dad will rotate Yulia, and the baby - watch her and listen to the melody.
Also interesting are the toys that are insideanimal figures or a horseman. In the first case, the movement creates a visual effect of a round dance, while in the second it seems that the rider jumps over obstacles. Such a “revitalization” of the characters here is the key point.
- Acrobat-Kuvyrkun. This is a figure of a clown sitting on a ladder. It is necessary to move it to the top step, as it begins to tumble, going down. The most interesting thing is that it does not fall.
- Tumbler. Everyone remembers this "childhood friend."Previously, these were standard nesting dolls, and today it can be various little animals. The bottom line is that if you tilt the toy, it rises again and does not want to go to bed. A nice bonus is the sound that the rollers make when moving. Such a toy can be presented even to the smallest child - it is very easy to put it into action.
Educational toys for children up to a year - it is alsovarious dolls and little animals. With their help, mom builds a certain plot, tells the kid a fairy tale. Such games influence the child's social and emotional positions, contribute to the development of his personal sphere. If you choose a baby doll as such a toy, the baby will gradually begin to compare itself and her. All this will help the child further enter the big world of people.
For the first games of the baby before the year, such subject (figurative) toys will be suitable, such as:
- bun;
- roly-poly;
- baby doll,
- a porcelain doll;
- animal figures (including plush and rubber).
This is one of the largest groups of toys. But this is not only sports equipment like balls. This includes suspension, stretch marks on the bed. They contribute to the development of coordination of movements.
The same balls can also be different.So, for the crumbs, a small ball is perfect, which he will learn to hold in his hands. Practically from birth with children, gymnastics on fitball is carried out, and at an older age (after six months) a massage ball is useful.
It will be interesting to the child to play with "smart" toys that "run away" from him. They stimulate crawling. Once a child touches a toy, it rolls away from it and again “waits” until it is caught up.
Discussing educational toys for children (photo seriesone of them is in the article), it is impossible not to say about wheelchairs. If the kid learns to walk, he will need a stable cart with a handle. Anyone who does not even think about the first steps will like a gurney on a string. Well, if the child is already walking more or less well, the wheelchair will do.
As we see, toys are not only entertainment,but also indispensable assistants in the development of the baby. However, it should be noted that it is not necessary to buy half the store to provide your child with everything necessary. Of course, only real craftsmen can make musical educational toys for children on their own. But some little things can be "retrained". For example, from bracelets with large buttons you get excellent toys that develop motor skills for children. True, you should not leave the child unattended when he plays them.
