Children's toys are an important part of the world of childhood, which forms the perception of the surrounding world of a child from the first days of life. Choosing a toy for a baby is not an easy task. This issue must be approached with all responsibility.
Instructions
Step 1
If you want the kid not only to have fun, but also to learn while playing, choose educational toys for him. Buy them in specialty stores, and avoid stalls and toy displays in walkways or markets. Otherwise, you run the risk of purchasing a poor quality product from an unknown manufacturer who hardly cares about the safety of its products.
Step 2
Each toy is designed for a specific age. Please read the relevant information on the packaging before purchasing. For babies under two years old, choose toys made from natural materials, as they taste everything. Try to avoid bright colors - such paints are not always safe for babies, although they really like them.
Step 3
Wooden toys are still relevant. If you have a choice - a wooden or plastic toy, choose a natural material. As a rule, these items are well sanded, so don't worry about splinters.
Step 4
Before buying a soft toy, pat it against the grain. If villi remain in the palm of your hand, it is better to refuse such an acquisition. Try all the details for strength; eyes and nose should hold well. If a toy with musical accompaniment, listen to all the tunes before buying. Make sure your baby is not intimidated.
Step 5
For babies up to one year old, buy rattles, small plush toys, medium-sized cubes and pyramids of rings. For children from one to three years old - toy dishes, plasticine, mosaics and washable paints. After three years, children need to buy a board and crayons, paints and felt-tip pens, a children's computer, mosaics and various sets. Girls will be interested in dolls with accessories, and boys - in the "young mechanic" set.
Step 6
When buying toys, choose those models that look like real animals or people so that the child can draw an analogy. And of course, try to protect your child from playing monsters and incomprehensible creatures until the age of five. At this age, the child's psyche is easily vulnerable, and the consequences of exposure to such toys are difficult to predict.
