The game designer is the best assistant in the development of the baby.

A game for a child is not just entertainment, but the main way to communicate with the outside world. And one of the most important toys in the first years of the baby's life is the designers. Why?

First, they help develop fine motor handles and hand-eye coordination. Experts say that productive games with designers allow you to "customize" logical thinking and arouse in your child an interest in the exact sciences in the future. Secondly, models from multi-colored details well contribute to the formation of figurative thinking, and even help to improve speech skills.

With designers, you can easily switch from simple games to the “towers” ​​in a year and a half to interesting role-playing games for children from two years old and older.

Starting to play the designer with a half-year old baby is gradually. Be prepared for the fact that he does not immediately show interest and willingness to build something. Build in front of a tiny turret or snake. Most likely, he immediately destroy the figure. These actions also have their own benefit: he learns to control his body and at the same time he begins to realize his power over objects and to feel himself a creator. Build a few more towers - let the child watch the process, and then everything breaks.

Gradually, the interest of the child to the multi-colored cubes will become more sustainable, and he wants to create something on his own. Help him put a few details on each other or put them in a row. During such games, it will be possible to easily acquaint the crumbs with the relative concepts of “higher / lower”, “longer / shorter”. For example, put the cubes of red and blue in two piles, and then build two towers from them. Which one is longer?

When such exercises become too easy, go to the imitative games. Build a construction more difficult and ask the child to repeat it. Or ask him to reproduce the house from the picture. Trying to recreate the figures, the child will improve spatial thinking and hand-eye coordination.

So gradually you will start using the constructor for role-playing games. This is not only a good way to develop imagination, but also an indispensable tool in the development of socialization skills.

By reproducing scenes from real life, you can demonstrate to your child how he should act in ordinary situations with which he will encounter. For example, along with a set of Lego® DUPLO "Day on the farm" (art. 10869), you will be able to prepare the child for a trip to the country or in the village to the grandmother. Using cute minifigures, explain that a goat or a cow should be approached only when accompanied by an adult, and the rabbit does not need to be pulled by the ears.

Using the minifigures of a boy and a girl, show how you need to get acquainted with your peers and what words you need to say. Teach your baby to respond to stressful situations: Let your characters quarrel, and you will reconcile them. After a while, ask the crumbs to reconcile the heroes themselves. But if he comes up with some kind of scenario that does not correspond to reality, there is no need to correct him.It will be much more effective to show in practice with the help of toys that this method will not work.

At the same time, let your baby dream. Let him invent his own stories and develop his characters. All parents need to do during such games is to ask questions. If a cow got behind the wheel of a tractor and took the children to school, then so be it! Needless to say, this is impossible. Better ask: where's dad? Where does a cow's driver's license come from? How does she manage to hold the steering wheel with her hooves? Believe me, the baby will have the answers to these and many other questions! In the meantime, he will invent them, learn to think logically and form causal relationships.

No less important is the fact that with the help of such exercises the baby will develop his speech, replenish the lexicon and learn to answer the questions correctly.
