Parents feel even more joy when their kids begin to develop and learn something new. This period is especially interesting, because the child is already showing his character, and mom and dad have to look for completely new ways to help the baby learn the world around him. In this, educational toys play a key role.
1. Sorters
Sorter is a toy, the purpose of which is not only to entertain the kid, but also to teach him to solve new problems. It is suitable for children from the age of two. Its meaning is that the baby learns to distinguish between shapes, choosing a suitable hole for each object during the game. Having figured out how to find a hole suitable for the object, the child begins to classify the shapes. This toy helps to develop child's coordination and logical thinking. Sorters can be bought at toy stores, but they can be made easily at home using dishes, for example.
2. Constructors
The role of constructors for the development of children is really great - they help to learn colors and shades, give babies a first idea of symmetry, and thanks to the abundance of details that need to be put together, the child develops fine motor skills. If the baby has not yet grown to even simple construction sets, such as Lego Duplo, buy him plastic or wooden blocks.
3. Stuffed toys
When choosing soft toys for a child under three years old, you need to make sure that they are completely safe. With their help, parents can arrange a performance for their children, role-playing and story games. For the little ones, these activities are a great way to learn to speak and recognize names. Thanks to soft toys, children will easily remember how this or that animal looks. A teddy bear or dog is often an object that children learn to care for.
4. Illustrated books
Children's picture books are indispensable for teaching children, because thanks to them, kids learn to perceive information by ear, learn the first words, associating them with images. Reading with parents helps toddlers learn interesting stories, and over time they begin to recognize the beginning, middle, and end of a story. Viewing and discussing illustrations together with parents encourages the child to learn to name the objects depicted, thereby replenishing the vocabulary.
5. Toys for physical activity
As children grow up, they become more and more active, which means that a period comes when toys that contribute to physical development come to replace teddy bears. For the little ones - these are balls, scooters, for older children - rollers and bicycles. Such toys not only allow you to strengthen the muscles and release the child's excess energy. Sometimes they help to learn how to solve complex problems, for example, when a child, after a long workout, finally learned how to maintain balance on a bicycle.
