What to give the boy for 4 years?
A four-year-old baby is already a real man, just still very small. He is quite reasonable, and sometimes, in the mood, rather hooligan.
The fourth birthday is very important for him, the kid already knows what this holiday is, and is looking forward to it. In this article we will try to answer the question of what can be given to a boy for his holiday.
Age features
The crisis of three years, as a rule, is over, and by the 4th anniversary, the baby is more calm and noticeably matured. He no longer needs constant care from his mother and father, he knows how to make some decisions himself. Now he is actively forming that sensual side of the psyche, which allows people to show empathy, to understand the emotions of others, to seek an approach to communication.
The greatest pleasure to four-year-olds is provided by role-playing and plot games, in which they themselves invent circumstances, assign themselves to the main role and "heroically" themselves from the heart. This should be considered when choosing a gift for your baby.
Boys at this age are usually very inquisitive. Mothers throughout the day hear dozens of times the question “Why?”, And this should also be used. The ability to learn is at the peak of its heyday in the preschool period, and therefore the gift must provide food for the child’s rapidly developing brain.
What toys and games will please the child?
- Radio controlled models. At the age of 4, boys are already actively trying on the roles of drivers, policemen, firefighters, and therefore a machine or special equipment on the control panel can be a wonderful gift. By controlling a fire engine with flashing lights and sound effects, the child will be able to present himself as a fire hero who is in a hurry to challenge, while piloting a radio-controlled plane - a brave pilot.
- "Cool" weapons. A pistol with suction cups or a laser gun with an interactive target will be a great gift for a child who loves to play war and police. As options, you can buy a lightsaber, a set of military equipment, a sword or a samurai sword (of course, a toy). A great gift is a bow and arrows or a crossbow.
- Robots If the house has adult assistants with engineering abilities, you can take the baby robot, which you need to assemble yourself, and which you can then transform. Four-year-old boys adore interactive robots from the Poly Robokar series, as well as robots that can perform simple action algorithms - walk, shoot, run, fly. Any large children's store will present you a choice of several dozen of the most different models in size, price and function.
- Constructors. Their great variety - from the Lego series to the labyrinths and magnetic constructors. Be careful with Lego - the kits contain many small details. In general, the Lego series will deliver pleasure to the boys. PLAYMOBIL is a well-known manufacturer of magnetic designers, it will definitely have to buy a convenient plastic box for parts.
