As a toddler and babbling, the baby is getting more familiar with the world in his own way.
During this period, the baby’s athletic ability and thinking ability have been further improved. They begin to hold small objects in a more coordinated way, try to explore the attributes of things, and manipulate objects in their own way.
They seem to have shown a [high cold] attitude towards some toys in the past, such as ringing the bell or shaking the stick, which may no longer be attractive enough and may gradually withdraw from the historical stage.
In view of the rapid development of baby’s cognitive and language abilities, as well as the upgrading of spatial skills, the recommendation ceremony and playing methods for this age group are also different.
1. Colorful block blocks
Yes, it is also a magical building block.
The baby’s sense of space and imitation ability are improving rapidly, and the color recognition ability is increasing day by day. Parents can demonstrate for the baby. They don’t need to use too many wood blocks, but they can build several colored building blocks, and try to let the baby be [architect] to avoid disturbing them frequently.
When you are about one and a half years old, try to let your baby recognize the color of the building blocks.
2. Simple jigsaw puzzle
Make a square? Or a rectangle?
With the baby’s sense of space becoming stronger and stronger, jigsaw puzzle seems to be able to play more possibilities in their hands. Parents try to guide the child to create more and more complicated object relationship structures, and let the baby try it himself to improve spatial cognition and fine movement ability.
In the same sentence, the emphasis is on participation.
3. Sketchpad and Brush
Babies have their own understanding of the world around them at this stage, and they are more willing to express their understanding through [graffiti].
A set of safe and sanitary painting tools can let the baby show his [children’s artistic representation], which is better if matched with bright colors.
Writing pens and tablets also belong to this category.
4. Plasticine
There is no need for too high-grade colored mud, as long as there is something for children to knead.
[Children’s Artistic Representation] Apart from painting, another expression is [sculpture].
But you can’t take your baby to make sculpture, can you? Therefore, the role of plasticine is reflected. This changeable object can fully exercise the baby’s spatial perception, imagination, color identification, and can also make the baby’s fine movements develop.
Pinch, pinch, pinch… I remember who said that every child is an artist, but don’t expect him to pinch what [masterpiece] now, he is just pinch.
Parents must do a good job of supervision, otherwise the baby may swallow his [artwork] if he is not careful.
5. Ball
The baby has been able to grasp and pinch in a very coordinated way, and the [ball] has successfully advanced to another height.
The baby at this stage will consciously pick it up, then throw it away, and then pick it up…
This is not [naughty], don’t rebuke them for this kind of behavior, the baby is exploring how to manipulate the ball.
6. Picture Books
All kinds of picture books and cloth books with bright colors and simple picture contents.
Due to the improvement of color recognition ability and the improvement of graphic recognition ability, they will easily be interested in color graphics in books.
And this period, the baby is very fond of listening to stories. Parents should give full play to the charm of language. When the baby is addicted to picture books, take the opportunity to read it tenderly in the baby’s ear.
Step 7 Stick in toys
Put the right things in the right place.
It’s easy to say, but for the baby, it will be a huge challenge to coordination and fine movement ability. Don’t worry, take your time, don’t let the baby lose the confidence to continue working hard.
