Think of the [hand ring bell] or [hand ring stick] that the baby once couldn’t put down, and now it is estimated that it has already been thrown somewhere.
The baby’s brain is growing rapidly, and his motor ability and cognition have improved. Some [childish] toys can no longer meet their growth requirements.
However, maybe some of the toys before are still useful, just change the playing method.
Let’s take a look. What they need now is what.
1. Multi-color and multi-shape building blocks
This seems to have become an artifact that can be played from childhood to adulthood.
The baby’s hands-on ability and spatial understanding have improved, and a few building blocks seem to be insufficient to provide [challenges].
More! Generally speaking, babies already have certain ability to challenge some more complicated [building structures]. Give them a try.
Of course, parents have to do something. It would be great if the children could follow the example of the gourd and the gourd and the gourd and the gourd and the gourd and the gourd and the gourd.
2. Plasticine
With the continuous enhancement of the baby’s practical ability, more and more things can be done, and the interest in this highly plastic toy is also increasing.
At this time, a simple mass may no longer satisfy the children’s curiosity. Parents can provide some [Gao Da Shang] colored mud with moulds to change more shapes.
3. Jigsaw puzzle
Identify, splice, combine.
This kind of object belongs to extremely simple toys with infinite possibilities. Babies may use all kinds of unconstrained imagination on this kind of toys.
Of course, imagination alone is definitely not enough. At this time, the baby’s fine movement ability, spatial understanding and color recognition ability have also developed very well, which is enough ~
4. Dolls
Male babies will prefer model toys that will deform or have wheels, while female babies will prefer various dolls that are beautiful in appearance and can be taken care of.
Yes, this is nature, and [gender preference] has been revealed.
However, there are always some dolls. However, when the baby’s favorite dolls do not seem to conform to his [gender preference], there is no need to worry. It is not that they [have problems], but that they are following what they like in their hearts. At this time, you can prepare a set of dolls that conform to their personality preferences. Take your time and the baby will make his own choice.
5. Children’s tricycle
Many children got on electric strollers as early as one year old, with four wheels and convertible.
These electric cars can indeed provide entertainment, but in terms of function… they are not used by what.
At this time, the baby’s lower limb strength has been strengthened. With the help of his parents, he can try to move his legs and make the [car] move through his own efforts. This kind of exercise is absolutely irreplaceable by electric strollers.
Again: with the help of parents!
6. Picture Books
Picture books, or [picture books].
The specifications can be larger, they can be turned over conveniently.
The content does not need to be too complicated, it must be simple and easy to understand. If you have to come to a picture book of a Dream of Red Mansions, I think it would be strange for the child not to tear it to pieces.
At this time, they can’t accept too complicated text content. Picture books need to enable babies to read and have the opportunity to [look at pictures and talk]. If they understand wrong, parents should point it out and tell them how to understand it.
When it comes to understanding, it is natural to pay attention to accuracy. However, we should also pay attention to words and don’t make them look like debating competitions, which will hit the enthusiasm of children.
7. Jigsaw puzzle
A little puzzle.
Jigsaw puzzles have been praised as children’s educational games since ancient times. In fact, what they say is true.
The identification of graphics, the grasp of the overall framework of space, and the development of fine movements make it possible to complete a similar jigsaw puzzle.
8. Ball
Hit wherever you point.
Yes, children at this stage begin to throw purposefully and will also try to catch the ball we throw. They will aim at their own target and launch. Since their upper limbs are not flexible, we don’t need to worry too much about the ball breaking the neighbor’s window what.
In the process of throwing or kicking the ball, children’s cerebellum is continuously developing, their bodies are continuously getting stronger, and their balance and athletic abilities [explode].
There is no need to worry that children will neglect their parents’ favorite books because of exercise, because books are not the only ones that can bring wisdom. As children’s cerebellum develops, their cerebellum and cerebral cortex become more connected, which is a favorable factor to help them think.
9. Playing house toys
Pretending games such as playing house contribute to children’s cognitive, emotional and social development, promote the development of various psychological abilities, including attention, memory, imagination, logical thinking, language and literacy, creativity, control over one’s own behavior and the ability to adopt other people’s views, and promote reflection on one’s own thinking.
At this stage, the baby began to try to use more characters, use more complicated scripts, make more [social] behaviors, and substitute himself into an illusory and real game.
Don’t interrupt children because they feel childish, try to cater to their thoughts and pretend with them. This is extremely important for children’s emotional intelligence development.
10. Paper and Pen
Writing or drawing, because they already have a general idea of the world around them, the babies of this period hope to use these symbols to show their understanding of the world.
But then again, it seems that I still like to draw more.
This kind of graffiti desire and ability, we call it [children’s artistic representation ability], and it requires not only artistic feeling, but also spatial understanding and planning.
Drawing lines or graffiti does not require us adults to correct what. Enjoy these masterpieces.
11. Small Desk
There are also books, plasticine, paper and pens. It seems that there are shortcomings in what.
At this time, the baby should already sit very stable. If conditions permit, give the baby a small desk so that he can display his own [art] in his own place.
Moreover, it is also very helpful to form good habits-[writing while sitting, drawing while sitting, reading while sitting].
