Children aged 1 year and 3 months are very active and inquisitive, and mothers have to literally try on the role of an animator so that the child does not get bored and spend time with benefits for development. Fortunately, there are many ways to keep your little one busy.
Walking
At this age, children usually already know how to walk, but they do not do it very confidently. To consolidate this skill, take walks more often. It is advisable to walk not only along the asphalted city streets, but also along forest paths so that the child's foot adapts to overcome irregularities. For the same purpose, it is useful to walk on inclined planes, climb children's ladders and slides. The main thing is to always be there to catch the baby when he loses his balance. Not knowing what to do with your child, always go for a walk, the kid will never be bored on the street. In summer, take a ball and sandpit toys, and in winter, a children's snow shovel. At the same time, do not forget that at 1 year and 3 months, the child quickly gets tired of walking on his own, so for long walks it is still better to take a stroller with you, otherwise you will have to take the baby in your arms.
Developing circles
A child at 1 year old can already attend developmental circles. Fortunately, today there are many development centers, and you will probably find one within walking distance from your home. In such classes, children are taught to draw, sculpt from dough, put puzzles and much more. Here mothers can learn a lot of interesting ideas for home activities with a baby, learn new games for children. In addition, in the children's development center, the child will receive the first communication skills with peers. Thanks to this, it will be easier for the child to adapt to kindergarten in the future.
Home games
Many mothers do not know what to do with their child at home, but there are many ways to usefully spend time. Buy finger paints in the children's store and teach your kid to draw. Usually this activity fascinates the kids for a long time, however, then the mother will have to wash the clothes and wash the furniture from the paints, so think in advance where and in what form it is better for the child to draw.
If a child at 1 year and 3 months has not yet sculpted from dough, it's time to introduce him to this wonderful material. It is best to buy a special baby dough for modeling, it is bright and plastic, but you can do with improvised materials by making the dough from flour and water. The dough perfectly develops fine motor skills, and you can use it in several ways. So, you can sculpt animal figures from the dough, or you can mold a sausage, give the baby a children's knife and show how to cut it into pieces. You can also purchase a special album for the test, where each page will have its own tasks. For example, tear off small pieces of dough, roll balls out of them and glue them onto a drawn apple tree, as if they were apples.
