When choosing an educational toy, a child from 6 months to a year, you need to consider the color, size, material of which it is made, the shape of the toy, preferably that the toy would be musical. When you choose a toy, you need to carefully consider it, and if possible, touch that there are no cracks, hooks, dangerous objects on it, in other words, it should be smooth. It is in this age period that a child begins to get acquainted with inanimate objects that surround him.
At the age from one year to three, we suggest you buy toys in the form of geometric figures, rhombuses, cubes, etc. Nesting doll, typewriter, sand sets, toy dishes, dolls, balls will become very developing and interesting for every child, regardless of gender. Help the child build a pyramid, explaining and showing how it will stabilize and why. Try to collect together a drawing from large puzzles or mosaics.
At the age of three to five years, children begin to think about playing games with toys, they have a fantasy, they build a game scenario. It is very important at such moments that the child does not play alone, it is desirable that you would have peers with him or play with him yourself. Games in the sandbox will be more active than at a younger age, let the child play with water, ride on a swing, on three or four wheeled bicycles. Buy color, plasticine, colored paper and work with the child creativity, let the baby get wet, do not scold him, he should not be afraid to spill water or smudge on the paint table, do not distract the child from the creative process. Buy a railway, boys and girls like it very much, the warmth allows you not only to interest the child, but also develops thinking and knowledge in physics. It would be good pros, at this age to buy a child a toy cash register (as in a supermarket), the baby will sell everything, thereby acquiring the basics in commerce and business.
Of course, at the age of five and up to seven years, the children in the choice of toys begin to be more finicky, their interest grows much. In the games room you have to have a large selection of dolls, necessarily with a variety of outfits, dishes, houses. It becomes interesting for a child to play with a doctor, a dentist, for this, buy sets that imitate surgical instruments, pretend to be sick, let your little doctor save you. Girls at this age have an increased interest in mother's cosmetics, to avoid acts of "vandalism" over the road of adult cosmetics, it is worth buying a baby, unlike adults, it is safe, it has fewer dyes and fragrances. In general, we will not hide the fact that the boys are also interested in cosmetics, they even paint the cilia along the quiet cilia. Developing games at this age are also considered to be transformable toys, children's computer, kites, airplanes on the radio control, scooters, children's table games such as a children's dominoes, manager. Since almost every family currently has a computer, and the child asks to play, set him a game aimed at developing memory, accuracy and logic, such games, as a rule, should not be used more than 20 minutes a day.
