It is impossible to imagine a child's birthday without funny laughter, balloons and, of course, gifts. When the baby turns 1 year old, he does not yet realize the importance of the event, but still sincerely rejoices at the holiday. For adults, the first birthday is remarkable in that the choice of gifts for a child of this age is not limited.
By the age of 12 months, most babies are able to sit, crawl, some of them already walk and talk, so the development of gross and fine motor skills, physical activity, speech, and musical abilities should be stimulated. A gift for a one-year-old child should not only bring him joy, but also help to form and consolidate the acquired skills.
For kids, the main way to learn about the world around them is to play, so a child at 1 year old should be given as many toys of different directions as possible: both for home activities and for the street. In particular, during a walk, sets for playing in a sandbox (molds, a bucket, a scoop, an excavator, a mill), rolling toys that can be carried along on a string or in front of you on a stick (a wheel with balls inside, a duck, a butterfly, etc.) etc.), carriages for dolls, cars.
A good gift can be a tricycle with a removable handle for mom or a tolokar - a scooter car, sitting on which, a child rides, pushing off the ground with his feet, or he can walk, holding on to the handle and pushing it in front of him. Thanks to the large assortment of tolokars in stores, you can choose an option for every taste for both a boy and a girl.
To develop a sense of perception of shapes, sizes and colors, you can give your baby pyramids of different heights, with a different number and diameter of rings. Cubes are also always relevant: as a rule, a one-year-old child uses them as a building material, so you can choose any of the commercially available sets. But cubes with pictures are a more advantageous and useful option, because they will also come in handy at an older age as a puzzle.
The child will certainly be delighted to receive as a gift a floor or hanging swing, a rocking horse, a rubber donkey or a large plush dog on which you can sit astride. A great gift for a kid is a dry pool or a tent house with multi-colored plastic balls. In addition, you can always give children balls, dolls, cars, nesting dolls and educational toys, as well as boxes, baskets and chests for storing them - you need to teach kids to order from an early age.
For the development of musical ear, you can choose children's musical instruments as a gift: drum, tambourine, piano, metallophone, etc., the main thing is that their sound is not fake. You can also give a children's educational synthesizer, with which the child can not only play the keys, but also learn the names of animals, flowers, fruits, learn to count to 10, etc. depending on the set program.
Children perceive reading aloud well, so a good choice is a CD with recordings of fairy tales, poems, stories, preferably performed by professional actors. In addition, a one-year-old child will surely like a collection of children's songs, including cartoons.
At any age, a person can be gifted books. For a 2 month old toddler, they should contain vivid color pictures to develop color perception. In stores you can find cardboard books with toys or educational cards inside, clamshell books, etc.
Children grow quickly, so clothes are a real gift, but on condition that they are chosen taking into account the individual characteristics of the child and the season for which they are intended, especially if they are given for growth. In addition, kids always need sketchbooks, pencils, felt-tip pens, paints, crayons, plasticine and various kits for children's creativity. But such gifts must be complemented with a toy, because it will bring joy to the child, and he will not yet be able to appreciate the usefulness and value of wardrobe items or didactic aids.
