What to give the boy for one year?

The very first birthday is a memorable page of family history. The baby himself still does not understand why there are so many smiling people around him on this day. But after years he will be happy to view photos and videos from this holiday.

I want to make this day unforgettable to all parents. In the course of preparation, which usually begins in advance, many questions arise, the main of which is what to give to the toddler. In this article we will try to answer it.

For a year crumb went a very long way. He met his relatives, learned to pronounce the first sounds and even syllables, crawl, sit, and some even walk. In a year a new, no less interesting stage begins. Now the child will be aware of himself as a person, master the speech, every day to comprehend and try something new. The brain develops at a very fast pace, and a boy or girl needs new knowledge every day to help them understand the big and complex world around them.

Birthday present at 1 year should satisfy the child’s need for this knowledge. If it was enough for half a year to give the child a bright rattle or doll doll, now the crumb is able to understand more complex processes, and it requires more interesting games. He can already spend quite a long time playing the game alone, without a mother, and this should definitely be used when choosing a present to a one-year birthday man.

Due to age, the child cannot yet choose the gift himself. Because there is no point in bringing one year old toddler to a big toy store and making a choice. It would be better if parents, relatives and family friends choose something as a gift.

Depending on the goals that the donor pursues, gifts may vary:

• Useful and functional. These include clothes, shoes, baby care products, baby food, diapers (if you still need them);
• Developmental. These are games, sets, toys, the main task of which is to develop the child’s intellectual abilities, his memory, attention, speech skills;
• Play and entertain. These are toys that do not themselves have a developmental function, but children like, for example, plush toys;
• Creative. These are sets for the development of creative skills - drawing, sculpting, collecting mosaic, applications;
• Developing physical fitness. These include bikes, swings, walkers, sleds.

The best gift for a child is one that will be of interest to him, and not to his parents. Diapers, suits and T-shirts are a great gift for mom and dad, who can thus save the family budget for buying clothes for the baby. But the toddler himself is unlikely to be delighted with the new T-shirt. Pictures, family photos, decorated in a gift baguette, molds of the legs and arms of a baby are rather memorable gifts for parents again.

Gifts that can please just the birthday can be divided into several groups:

To meet the need of a one-year-old child in development and world outlook, you can give him a designer. The main thing is that there are no small details in it. There are many types of designers for children from the year, which consist of large bright parts, easily interconnected. With this toy, the baby will be able to develop fine motor skills, coordination of movements, and spatial thinking.

Cubes are another universal idea for the "anniversary" of any gender. You should not take sets where it is proposed to fold the picture out of the cubes - it is still quite difficult for the kid, but large and bright cubes made of soft plastic will delight the child for another year and a half for sure.

Children love to lay out everything in hand, sort. Knowing this, we can safely take a sorter for a one-year-old birthday man. This is a toy, which is based on such a principle of sorting, in which the child cannot be mistaken in principle. Figures of a certain color in it are embedded in the grooves of a certain shape and color. The sorter can be simple - in the form of a rectangular platform, and can be a real ship, plane, house. A simpler version of the sorter - inserts, which are a plate with grooves of different shapes, in which the child must pick up objects that match the outlines and colors.

In a year, children, as a rule, are happy to assemble a pyramid. The original toy model can be a great gift. For the development of imagination, imagination and logic, as well as the physical form of the crumbs, you can give rug puzzle. At first you can gather it together with your mom or dad, and then you can have fun jumping and doing gymnastics on it.

Experienced mothers, who have repeatedly re-pasted painted wallpaper and washed the fridge painted with felt-tip pens, know that the craving for beauty begins just closer to a year. This stage of development is very important for the child, even if he does not become a famous artist or sculptor.

It is still a bit early to buy paints and an album as a gift; Give better finger paint. And to them a couple of big paperman. It will be enough to spread the paper on the floor and release the child onto it, supplying it with finger paint cans. He will be able to create his masterpiece with his hands and feet.

Usually, children are still fed up with these paints, but they should not be afraid - they include food dyes that are completely harmless to kids.

If the young artist is already well worth it and walks, you can give him an easel for drawing, which is adjustable in height, as well as a set of paper for creativity.

Very useful for child pens modeling lessons. Therefore, a set of good quality clay will be very appropriate.

For classes, you can use the currently popular kinetic sand. It does not look like an ordinary one, since it does not crumble, it does not stick to hands, and it does not stain. Silicone added to quartz sand prevents it from disintegrating into small particles. From such sand under the control of the mother, the baby will be able to blind any sandy figure, and then break and blind a new one.

A lot of joy will give the child an interesting set of ducks or rubber pirates for swimming. The gift can be tested on the same evening, and believe me, now every time during water procedures the baby will require these toys.

Interactive toys while giving early, but all sorts of gurney will be just right. A child learns to walk, and it is much more fun to do this, if you tie a funny caterpillar or train on wheels with a thread. There are wheelchairs on a plastic handle that the child can push in front of him.

For several centuries, it has not lost its popularity among toddlers from 1 year old rocking horse. Today the choice of such toys is great. It can be a rocking giraffe, a rocking elephant, a rocking camel and anyone else.

Another favorite attraction is swing. Surely, the kid was already riding on them with his mother in the yard on the playground, but he would absolutely not mind if the swings appeared in his apartment. For this, it is not necessary to be owners of a large living space. You can purchase swings that are mounted in the doorway.

A boy, even one who has just turned one, will appreciate his own vehicle.Wheelchair-tolokar is a small car or motorcycle, with a steering wheel, sound effects, opening trunk. The kid will be able to ride on the tolokar, pushing his feet off the floor. If desired, parents will be able to help the young driver, rolling the machine behind the handle.

Leaders practical gifts are sleds and bicycles. You should not buy a child model “for growth”, because the joy of the gift, when the child grows up, will already run out. Children want to enjoy the new toys here and now, and therefore choose small bikes. It is desirable, with a canopy from the sun, that the mother can replace the stroller-cane in the summer with a new vehicle for her son.

Sledge for the one-year-old boy, if the birthday falls in winter, it is better to buy with awning protection from cold and snow (with a special protective cover, which, by analogy with a carriage, is easily fastened on both sides of the sled).

If you give the boy a small table with a chair, he will also be very pleased, especially if it is a development platform with a mass of games, sorters, a place for drawing, modeling, with bills and a button that includes music and colored light bulbs.

Examples of specific gifts and feedback about them:

1. Thematic designer Bristle Blocks with textured elements (needle).

It costs about 1,5 thousand rubles. The feedback on the constructor is positive: mothers note that the children don’t get tired of playing it even months later, because the details are connected in any way, and you can experiment with plenty.
