If you are right, will the babies climb? Some will even hold the wall and let the adults lead them and start to walk away.
Watching the baby grow up day by day, parents’ joy is beyond words. But as they grow up, the previous toys seem to have become somewhat [outdated].
In fact, those toys can still give full play to [waste heat]. The baby still has a certain interest in these brightly colored and noisy things. If the baby wants to play, then play.
However, this stage is different from the previous one, because during this period, babies began to have [goal-oriented behaviors], their behaviors had more purpose, began to think, began to try to solve problems, and their imitation ability also greatly improved. Because of these needs, the previous toys did seem to be a little [in short supply].
At this time, if children have the opportunity to immerse themselves in their own game world, parents should stop disturbing and not help. Let children enjoy the game alone and learn how to manipulate their toys through constant attempts.
So in this period of great [turning significance], let’s see what kind of gifts children need.
Step 1: Ball
Is the previous ball still there?
Of course, it is also possible to change to a new one, for example, a slightly larger one.
With the gradual development of the baby’s athletic ability, the way they handle the ball also begins to change. When the baby makes some interesting and fresh movements on the ball, their athletic ability and balance ability begin to get better development.
2. Sketchpad, Brush
Of course, we are talking about children’s sketchboards and children’s brushes.
At this stage, the babies gradually mastered the skills of graffiti and showed a strong desire for art. On the wall, on the ground, on the bed, on the drawing board… they felt that they could draw Picasso or Van Gogh as long as they were given a paintbrush.
This is the expression of the increasing ability of [children’s artistic representation]. At the same time of painting, it is also enhancing their own ability to use symbols to express reality, and enhancing the baby’s planning and spatial understanding.
Even if the things drawn by the baby are difficult to understand, [erudite] parents should try not to correct them and be careful to discourage them. Let the baby be a literary baby quietly.
3. Laying Yellow Duck
Have you ever seen the kind of yellow duck with batteries running all over the floor, chasing after its own duck eggs?
In the months when the baby still has the interest of [climbing] and is not in such a hurry to stand up, the baby must climb fully and purely.
[Gaga] The yelling and running yellow duck undoubtedly provides great fun for the baby’s crawling, especially when the baby has the ability to accurately put [duck eggs] on the yellow duck, which means a qualitative leap in the baby’s balance and coordination ability.
4. Cloth books and picture books
All kinds of picture books and cloth books with bright colors and simple picture contents.
At this time, these pictures will not only be used as tools to stimulate the baby’s visual development, but will really become [books], realizing their ultimate value as [books], that is: to be seen!
At this time, the baby has already had a preliminary understanding of the pictures and will have contact with his surrounding environment. They hope to obtain some information from these symbols. Unfortunately, they generally cannot correctly understand the contents of these pictures or words. At this time, parents can completely act as narrators:
[Long, long ago…]
Whether you can understand it or not, it is always good for the baby’s language development.
If it is a cloth book, throw it directly to the child, let him try [turning over the book] and exercise some fine movements.
5. Simple Square Building Blocks
If you go to the children’s health department of the hospital for a physical examination around the age of one, the doctor will take out several building blocks, stack them one by one, and then let the baby try to do it.
We call it [hand-eye coordination] examination.
At this stage, the baby already has certain balance ability, sense of space, exercise ability and the ability to do some fine exercises. Stacking building blocks one by one no longer seems to be an [impossible task], and it is also exercising these abilities while stacking building blocks.
Not yet? It doesn’t matter, buy some building blocks and go home to play.
In addition, building blocks can also be played in other ways. For example, take a wooden bowl, take out the building blocks, put them back, take them out, put them back… This will exercise the baby’s coordination and fine movements.
6. Rings or towers
Pick up the ring from the shaft of the base, put it down, pick it up, put it down…
This movement seems boring and is of great help to improve children’s sense of space and coordination.
But even if the baby can’t do it well or even doesn’t want to do it, there is no need to force it. Some children are slow-heating type, don’t let parents worry and hit the enthusiasm of the baby.
These gifts are extremely easy to obtain and have high cost performance, meeting the basic needs of the baby’s development during this period of time. Then the problem arises:
Why are there no electronic toys from Gao Da?
Well, of course, electronic toys can be bought or played. For example, the yellow duck belongs to the electronic category. Other electronic toys that can sing, dance and play with seem to provide some entertainment, but the key point is:
Let the children do it! Let the children do it! Let the children do it!
Most electronic toys can only provide [entertainment], but only toys that can let the baby do it can truly meet the needs of the baby’s growth and development.
