Developing activities for children are not only useful, but also very interesting for them. As a rule, they are held in the form of a game, in which the guys join with great pleasure. For parents, this is not only a joint pastime with the child, but also helping him develop and learn new things.
The importance of developing activities
Almost all parents know how important it is to develop their baby from an early age. After all, its correct development is a successful start in later life.
In this difficult matter, one should not rely only on a kindergarten, adults should deal with the baby at home.
Moms and dads try to do everything so that their child grows up as an intelligent, successful and purposeful person who knows how to achieve their goals. And they do it very correctly, because the greatest ability to assimilate a new brain has in the period from the moment of birth to 6 years. It is at this age that the baby will be able to remember the largest amount of information new to him.
Houses
The advantages of taking care of your child at home are many:
- The schedule can be adjusted to suit your baby, focusing on the time at which he is able to practice. You can easily take into account the temperament, interests, daily routine of your child.
- While studying with the baby at home, you can use some of your rhymes, chants or other rituals that will emotionally set the child up for the lesson.
- As a rule, at home everything you need for classes is always at hand, because they need more than paper and pencils. You can use toys and furniture, make manuals from scrap materials. Your little one will be able to tell you how to use what interests him the most.
- Classes with a baby at home are a budget option. At the same time, you do not need to spend a lot of money on visiting development centers.
- The time you spend with your child is priceless. All his successes, new knowledge and skills will be the result of your hard work.
All these benefits of practicing at home are undoubtedly very important. However, developing classes with children are also held in kindergarten.
In the garden
The purpose of classes in the garden is the opportunity for teachers to transfer their knowledge, skills and abilities to children. And they must fulfill three tasks: educational, educational and developmental.
All classes are structured according to the preschool educational program, which is determined by the leadership and has a specific structure. This is in contrast to classes at home, where you spend your time in free form and take into account the child's desire to study at a certain moment.
An important point in organizing classes in the garden is that they are conducted by a professional.
The teacher takes into account all the psychological and age characteristics of a child of a certain age and will be able to provide him with information in the form in which the child is able to accept it.
Classes are built taking into account what a child of a certain age should know and be able to do. Teachers try to work out all the necessary material as much as possible in order to every child in the group was able to learn it.
In kindergarten, children can learn skills that are not always worked out by parents at home. For example, the skills of independent research activities. The guys learn to work in a team, which is practically impossible at home.
Activities with a child up to one year old
Early childhood development has become very popular nowadays. It begins in the first months of life. There are many different techniques that can be used with children from birth. Parents should get to know them, but don't strictly follow just one. You can choose from them only what you like and suit your baby.
Children under the age of one are usually guided by feelings, but it is quite possible to study and teach them something. Classes at this age contribute to psychomotor development. It helps your child in physical and intellectual development.
In order for the classes to be useful, you should not overload the baby with them. Do not spend long sessions and do not demand continuation if the crumb refuses.
Your fanatical desire to educate children can be dangerous for them. This should not be forgotten. Consider examples of activities with a baby up to a year.
Learning letters and numbers
You will need to sew large numbers and letters from a textured and bright material (felt, velvet, terry cloth are suitable), the size of which is approximately the size of an adult's palm. They should be in the form of pillows with different fillers: cereals (semolina, rice, beans), cotton wool, paper, sawdust, foam balls.
Offer the child one letter or number at a time, constantly articulating its name clearly. The kid will get acquainted with the counting and the alphabet, fine motor skills of the hands and the perception of various colors (when feeling these letters) will develop.
You can start practicing from the first months of life. At first, you can put study material into the crumbs pen several times throughout the day. When the baby grows up, you can lay it out on the mat, laying out the pads near it. This will serve as a stimulus for the physical development of the baby. In order for him to be able to reach the letter he likes, it will be necessary to reach for it - or even crawl up to it.
Semolina game
You do not need to prepare anything specifically for this activity. You just need to put the baby on the floor and put a tray in front of it or spread oilcloth. Now pour the semolina evenly, and let the baby begin to draw with his fingers. He can draw, feel it, pour it from a pen onto a tray - and even taste it.
Glen Doman Method Cards
Classes with cards do not need to start right from birth, you should wait for 9 or 10 months. The essence of the technique is that the child is shown cards with different specific images (preferably one group - for example, pets, wild animals, dishes, furniture, and so on), in letters, numbers, clearly pronouncing the name of each of them.
Demonstration of one card should take a few seconds. When you show your baby all the cards, invite him to play outdoor games, paying attention to physical development. You can do it several times during the day.
Drawing according to the technique of Maria Gmoshynska
This method requires the child to be able to sit well. To create a masterpiece, you can use your fingers, palms and even crumbs of feet. You will need a large Whatman paper or a roll of old wallpaper, as well as bright, safe paints (it is better to buy those that do not need to be diluted with water), containers for them, oilcloth. It will need to be spread so as not to stain the floor.
Place the baby on an oilcloth spread on the floor, place a Whatman paper in front of him and place containers with paints. You need to show him once what to do. Set an example by dipping your finger in paint and drawing something. Then the baby will act independently.
Do not try to teach your child to draw, do not require him to repeat after you. Give him the opportunity to reproduce what he wants.
Let him use the parts of the body that he wants, choose the colors he likes the most. Such drawing contributes to the creative, sensory and psycho-emotional development of the baby and fine motor skills of the hand.
Fitball lessons
They have a positive effect on the physical development of the baby, improve the functioning of the vestibular apparatus, and contribute to the development of orientation in space. Classes can be held from three months.
To get started, try light swaying on the ball with your baby on his stomach. You can perform the same swaying by putting the baby on the back. In the next exercise, you will need to put the child on the ball and lightly press your hand on the bottom or tummy, depending on how it lies on it. The ball should start to spring.
Exercise "Bouncers" should be performed by holding the ball between the legs. Place the child on the ball and, holding him by the back, teach him to jump on it. These activities are usually very fun and like babies. Many other exercises can be done.
Exercises with different balls
For the development of hearing, balls with various bells inside are suitable. Balls with spikes stimulate the development of fine motor skills of the hand, and they can also be used to make a light massage of the baby's feet. Cloth balls will help build your grasping skill.
Bottle games
To play this game, fill one bottle half with water and the other with some cereal. You can use rice, peas or buckwheat. Now close the plugs tightly and give them to the baby. Let him shake them, turn them over, do whatever he wants. Such games contribute to the development of hearing, vision, attentiveness.
Use clothespins, musical toys, pyramids, cubes, rattles in games with a child under one year old. All of them have a positive impact on the development of your child.
Developing activities for children
From the moment the child turns 1 year old, you can already begin to complicate the tasks for him. Developmental activities should be aimed at developing the child's speech, hearing, vision and memory, his ability to think logically, be very attentive, get acquainted with the world around him, and develop fine motor skills. You can contribute to the physical and intellectual development of the baby.
1 to 2 years
The following options can be distinguished.
Drawing with your fingers
This drawing method is suitable for very young children. He provides development assistance fine motor skills, sensory sensitivity, artistic thinking, instills a love for the fine arts. A one-year-old baby draws short lines, curls, and dots on the sheet. It is already quite possible to start drawing real pictures with the child. For example, by painting white dots on a piece of blue cardboard, you will get an evening snowfall.
In the same way, you can draw raindrops that fall from a cloud to the ground, flowers on a green field, stars in the sky. Gradually, the baby's drawings will become more complex, houses, the sun, plants, animals, family portraits will appear on them. An important rule: use only finger paints, since they will not harm the baby, even if he decides to taste them.
Kinetic and living sand
Nowadays, such games are becoming more and more popular. Kinetic and live sand are very similar in tactile perception, but their color and composition are different. Both types of sand are safe and non-toxic.
Sand is called kinetic, which is 98% natural sand, and 2% silicone are its components. Such sand is moisture resistant, it can be washed and stored almost anywhere.
Living sand differs from kinetic sand in composition and properties. It consists of coquina, essential oils and a small amount of binding components. It must be protected from moisture and direct sunlight. It will dissolve if it gets into water. Be sure to store it in a container without closing the lid. It is necessary to give him the opportunity to "breathe".
Children really like to tinker with sand, from it they sculpt Easter cakes and cakes for their toys, build fortresses and various figures. Use a child-friendly container as a sandbox. It should be wide enough and have fairly high sides so that you do not have to remove it from the floor in large quantities later.
Tunnels
For developmental activities, you can also use waste material. For this game, you will need cardboard tubes from toilet paper, balls that will freely pass into these tubes, and a sheet of thick cardboard.
Fasten the tubes together and make a long tunnel out of them - with turns and zigzags. Make a stable stand out of two sheets of thick cardboard, you will need to attach your tunnel to it. Now ask the kid to lower the ball into the tunnel from above. Let him watch the ball appear from below. Such a game can take a one-year-old baby for a long time.
Clothespin Games
Such exercises perfectly develop fine motor skills of the hands. You can think of a lot of options for games with them. First you need to explain and show the baby how to hold, how to attach to something. After that, you can start the game.
You can offer your child various blanks made of cardboard and ask him to complete the image with clothespins. For example, it can be the silhouette of a hedgehog to which the child attaches needles. In the same way, you can make a Christmas tree, a sun and many other interesting crafts.
You can massage your baby's fingers lightly by covering the clothespins on his toes. Be careful not to hurt children with clothespins.
You can offer to present the clothespin to some animals that really want to eat. When the clothespin opens, the animal will open its mouth. Feed your dog, tiger or fish. Use dry beans, pasta, buttons, or any other small items as feed. Be careful not to pull them into your baby's mouth.
Stamps for drawing
From one to two years of age, you can already show your child how to create a masterpiece using stamps. To make them, you can use a variety of objects, vegetables and fruits.
You can use potatoes for these purposes by cutting them in half, carrots, spools of thread, curly lids from jars - your imagination will help you choose what you need. The paints must be diluted with water - to the consistency of sour cream. Show your toddler how to dip a stamp in paint and print on a piece of paper. Children will be carried away by such an interesting activity for a long time.
Applications
At the age of one, you can begin to make the simplest applications with the baby. Show your baby how to take small pieces off the napkin and apply them to a piece of cardboard that has been greased with glue. You can draw an object or animal in advance on cardboard. Stick napkins on it.
Games and sand painting
For this game, mix sand and some kind of cereal, you can take rice or buckwheat. Lay an oilcloth on the floor and put your baby on it. Place a tray of mixture in front of it and show how you can paint on it.
In the future, the crumbs should have complete freedom of action. He can draw, pour, pour into molds, sprinkle with water. Such games develop sensory sensitivity well and help develop fine motor skills.
Busyboard
A toy that children really like. Helps in the development of fine motor skills.
Songs and games according to the Zheleznov method
With the help of these music games, you can develop your baby's ear for music, a sense of rhythm. These songs are of great help in the emotional and intellectual development of the child, and contribute to the development of speech. They help develop self-confidence and contribute to the formation of the skill to instantly respond to the situation and the words that the adult says.
Choosing 3-4 songs for classes every day, you can please and amuse your child, while successfully developing him.
2-3 years old
At the age of 2-3 years, it is necessary to pay great attention not only to the development of the intelligence of the baby, but also to its physical development. Classes with the baby can be carried out not only at home, but also on a walk. Do not forget that all the information that you want to present to the baby should be given in the form of a game.
You can't force a child to study if he does not want to. Better think about how to conduct a developmental lesson in a playful way, which will be of interest to him.

For children of primary school age
At the primary school age, there is an intensive development of intelligence. During this age period, the development of basic mental functions occurs. These are, for example, attention, logical thinking, memory, perception, imagination. Their awareness is being developed. This is an important factor to consider when preparing student development classes.
It is necessary to help the child in mastering basic school subjects, preparing for them, to form a positive attitude towards the learning process. Pay attention to expanding the child's horizons, develop speech.
At primary school age, the leading type of activity changes from play to study, but you should still pay a lot of attention to activities in a playful way. This is how the guys assimilate information most fully.
Primary school children will love it if you use a computer for class. Now you can find many different educational games online. Most importantly, do not forget about limiting the time spent playing computer games.
Responsibly choose toys for primary school students. Try to avoid buying scary monsters, mutants, robots. Instead, it will be very useful to purchase a variety of construction sets, puzzles, mosaics, kits for children's creativity.
A good choice would be board games that the whole family can play: checkers, chess.

These games help develop memory, teach to generalize and carry out calculations. With their help, the children will increase their working capacity, develop perseverance, perseverance, self-discipline, the ability to perform actions in the mind will be formed, as well as the will to win.
Developing classes of a psychologist with children
A psychologist can be of great help to parents in the upbringing and development of their children. There are classes that are held in a group. As a rule, parents choose individual work of a psychologist with a child.
The development of the baby begins with a comprehensive diagnosis and a detailed conversation with the mother. With the help of this, the teacher receives information about the level of development of the crumbs at a given moment in time, builds his work taking into account the characteristics of a particular child, draws up an individual program.
The psychologist helps in the development of basic cognitive mental processes in children. These are, for example, memory, thinking, attention, perception and imagination. It is the high level of development that contributes to the successful learning of the child. In their classes, psychologists pay attention to the emotional development of children, which is very relevant at the present time.
Educational psychologists teach the child to manage and cope with their emotions, correct the manifestations of aggression and anger. They help in the development of communication skills of children, without which their interaction with adults and peers is impossible.
Specialists can help parents find the right way out of a difficult situation, suggest how to respond correctly to a child's actions in a given situation.
In their work, psychologists can use a variety of methods and techniques of work. Sometimes they are very unexpected for parents. Let's take a look at some of them:
- The method is very often practiced play therapywhere the child plays real life situations with toys or adults.
- Fairytale therapy - a method of work that allows you to express in words the same situations and moments as in the game. It differs from the previous one in that there is a fairy-tale hero or some wise assistant-advisor who prompts the kid to get out of this difficult situation.
- Art therapy Are drawings. Most often, kids are asked to draw a non-existent animal and talk about it. Parents should not try to interpret such drawings on their own, since only a psychologist can determine exactly where the child is just fantasizing, and where there are real problems.
All of these methods of work can be used with young children. For schoolchildren, other techniques are already being used, which are most often aimed at characterizing and identifying problems in a child's interpersonal relationships with friends, classmates, parents, teachers and other people. At this age, the choice of methods and techniques of work is very wide.
