What toy to buy for a boy? The choice in stores is so great that your eyes literally run up. When thinking about buying a gift, you should focus on the child's growing preferences. But there are also versatile options.
Weapons, equipment, designers - tested and reliable
You can purchase a traditional toy in the form of a weapon - cold or firearms. After all, a boy is a future man, and any man is a potential warrior who knows how to handle weapons. Moreover, the choice of such toys is very wide. It is better not to give toy weapons to very young children under the age of 4 years.
It is also advisable to refrain from buying pneumatic weapons: plastic bullets fly at a fairly high speed and, if they get into the eye, can cause serious injury.
Toys in the form of a wide variety of equipment are very popular. There are cars (cars and trucks), all kinds of all-terrain vehicles, planes and helicopters. For kids under the age of 5, simple cars are best suited, for example, trucks, in the back of which you can transport any small items, and after 6 years they can also buy radio-controlled models of equipment. You can also purchase an interesting toy submarine for swimming.
A good toy for a boy is a construction set. At the age of 1, 5 years, he is best suited for a set of several large multi-colored plastic or wooden cubes, as well as a pyramid. They are very useful for developing patience, perseverance, as well as for the development of motor skills, coordination of movements.
Kids are also very fond of sets from the world famous LEGO manufacturer. Beautiful, new, bright, executed at a very high level, they really capture the little "builders". Boys are especially fond of LEGO sets that simulate castles, pirate ships, police buildings, fire brigades, etc.
However, due to the abundance of small parts, such kits should not be given to children under 3 years of age.
What if the boy does not like boy toys?
Some parents, as well as grandparents, become embarrassed (and sometimes in real fear) if suddenly a little boy is indifferent to such traditional toys as weapons, constructors or cars, and prefers to play with soft toys, or even with dolls. It seems to them that this is wrong, that it should not be so. It happens that a child is taken away from his favorite bunnies, bears and dolls and is literally forced to pick up a gun or a truck. But you can't do that! In most cases, the concerns of adults are unfounded. Children are very fond of role-playing games, which is why they are drawn to dolls. Playing with such toys, they try on the role of a father.
