New Year! How much joy, happiness, childish laughter and magic in this word! Who among us does not keep memories of the first winter holidays, about Grandfather Frost, Snow Maiden, gifts?
New Year in the family - this is an incontestable plus of such a holiday. But the very first notes of the triumph affect the children already in the kindergarten, on the matinees. Organization of fun, script writing and the invitation of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the administration of the kindergarten and tutors almost always take upon themselves. But the gifts that are in the midst of the holiday will be removed from the bag, it is worth thinking about the parents.
Assemble the parent committee and discuss the most important issues.
First, the amount that you will count on when choosing gifts. Of course, allindividual, but almost always a gift for kids can be put in 300-500 rubles. After all, a small child is not important for the cost of a doll or a typewriter, an understanding and the very fact of a presentation. And you can give the child a home at an automatic railway or a car. Again, clarifying that Ded Moroz came to him again. Your child behaved so well this whole year!
But the most important question arises. What to give to kids?
It is desirable that all gifts are the same, in order to avoid fights, quarrels and isles. After all, no one wants to spoil the holiday to a child just because he liked the gift of a neighbor more than his own.
You can make an exception and give different gifts to boys and girls. But again, if the children are very small, then the cars and dolls will be equally interesting for both.
For children from 4 years of age, it is not difficult to choose presents. At this age they are defined with sympathies, preferences and hobbies. At the age of 4 to 7 years, almost everything is interesting for children. A gift half or even more can consist of sweets and sweets.
But what to choose for toddlers and junior groups?
For the youngest children from 2 to 3 years of gifts should carry several functions.
emotional. It should be something bright, interesting, colorful. What immediately attracts the attention of the baby and will charge it with a positive mood.
developmental. Young children only know the world, and therefore, the toys should serve not just for games, but also for the parallel development of the child. Mental, logical or even physical.
toys, with which you can arrange a role-playing game with the child. To teach to eat, feed, water, determine your place in society.
So, what kind of toys are these?
Various large puzzles (wooden or thick cardboard), designers (who among us did not dream of becoming a builder in childhood?), Cubes (soft, plastic or large wooden sets), toys where you need something to put in, use colors, sizes, shapes .
A very successful gift will be an educational game, for example, according to Montessori techniques. Such toys develop imagination, logic, coordination.
The book is always the best gift! But let it be a big book with large pictures and simple, Russian fairy tales. It's even more interesting if it's a music book or a book with 3D pictures.
You can follow the classics - dolls and cars. But then a little complicate the task, and attach a set of clothes to the doll (pushers, locks very develop the fine motor skills of children's handles!), A comb, a plate and a spoon. And let the machine be dismountable, consisting of simple large parts. A screwdriver and a wrench can also be attached to it.
Sweet gifts to kids is better not to give, because not everyone in such an early age is already accustomed to sweets and chocolate. And to receive a note from a mother's daughter or to take a candy from a crying child will not at all benefit the festive atmosphere.
Let it be better fruits, nuts, juices. For interest, all this can be turned into a bright wrapper, which will create a feeling of something new and unusual in the child.
It is worth noting that it is worth thinking about group gifts well in advance. After all, you imagine how difficult it will be to find 15-20 identical toys in the middle of December, when there is a fuss in the shops and crowds of buyers. Consult your parents and save the right amount, pick your presents slowly and arrange with the store the number you need for a certain date. Such training can be done in the first days of November. By the way, this approach can help you save money! After all, when there is no abundant demand, sellers are willing to make discounts on large quantities of purchases.
The main thing, remember, New Year, and even more so the first (conscious) should remain in the memory of your baby by all means a bright and positive spot!
