GAMES AND TOYS FOR CHILDREN 1 TO 4 YEARS

WHERE CHILDREN PLAY REALLY LAST? THIS DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON THE STAGE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT IS. IN ADDITION, EACH CHILD WILL THEN HAVE THEIR OWN PREFERENCES. THE MORE ONE LOVES PLAYING OUTSIDE, RUNNING AND JUMPING, WHILE OTHERS PREFER QUIET ON A NICE CHAIR SITS FIDDLING WITH CLAY OR BLOCKS. AND GIRLS AND BOYS GENERALLY DO SO EACH HAVE THEIR OWN IDEAS ABOUT WHAT IS FUN TOYS!

Below is a list of tips by age. natural Again, what toys at what age is fun depends a little child. One is now once more in his development than the other. Too hard toy is frustrating, too easy toy is boring.Playing with the right toys (and that does not always have to be an expensive thing from the toy!) Is good for the development of your child. But how do you choose now something that exactly fits the age? Often there is a directive on the packaging. But do not be another big problem: Older children often find it too fun to play with toys for babies is provided. Many toys are designed so that children can play a long time.

Note always on safety. Buying especially for children under 3 not toy with loose small parts that can be put in the mouth. Sharp edges and points are dangerous (cheap floppy plastic can sometimes break down quickly so nasty sharp edges occur) and be careful with (confirmation) strings.

Another tip: Your child does not offer too many toys (incentives) simultaneously. If you do that then the chances are that he never really will deepen in all and do not know where to play. Over toys and put some things just get away for a while. If you get later reappeared it is again completely new to your child and he will be happy again playing with it.

Finally, what some parents sometimes overlook, especially for the toddlers or young children, is that the process of playing is more important than the end result. Ask your toddler know if he likes so much even the crafts, and talk about it without judging immediately. Moreover, mistakes can! Rather a time to try a new way of blocks to discover that your tower there is less firmly than ever only on instructions from mom and dad build a beautiful castle. Allow your child to make mistakes, as he learns of deals.

FROM 1 TO 2 YEARS

Children at this age can not only play a long time. They want especially when you are nearby and you imitate or "help". Let them nice a few handkerchiefs fold if you are doing the laundry. Also brush with a cloth is very nice. They want to explore the world and try everything. Let them get their hands in a safe environment. Playing with the ordinary things is still fun, like a bucket with clothespins or a bucket of sand to grab with your fingers.
Fun toys:

• Walk car and walk bikes. To push against when the baby just learning to walk, or just to ride
• As soon as he could walk a dog for a toy can pull on a string behind her or a walking cane with nice figure to push forward very much
• Easy picture books to learn words
• Duplo, big blocks to build a bit already.
• Wooden puzzle with studs
• Doll furniture, highchairs, cribs, tables and more ...
• doll Carriage
• Dolls, eg. Little People, to stimulate the fantasy game
• wooden trains
• slide
• Ball
• An indoor playground, good climbing and scrambling and soft fall
• Sand or sand tray table. Water and sand are also a lot of fun together!
• On hot days, a bath with lukewarm water in the garden with watering little, buckets and strainer.But always keep watch himself. Every year children drown again, even in small layers of water.
• dinnerware set
• A soft cloth or bear now gives real consolation if mom or dad are gone
• Watching television, for example, the Teletubbies and Baby TV . Especially fun too watch and have a say if mom or dad.
• To the petting zoo! Animal petting, naming, sounds imitate

FROM 2 TO 3 YEARS

Children now learn more to deal with others. Though it is sometimes quite difficult to share and to solve disputes with words rather than with physical violence, it is usually still above all very nice to be busy with other kids. Now on the other hand for a while playing alone is also getting better.

• Colored pencils, crayons and washable paint
• Clay
• Duplo blocks with figures
• Playing outside with (walking) cars, balls and wheelbarrows
• A tricycles with or without a push rod
• Cardboard puzzle with a few large pieces
• To the playground for climbing and scrambling. You'll find other kids to play against
• Books to be read out or even browsing
• Baby doll with accessories to provide very good!
• Children over this age find it wonderful to hide or something to make your own spot. Think of a playhouse in the garden. But also a self-built tent of an old sheet on the chairs and the table around doing well.

FROM 3 TO 4 YEARS

Your child will always playing alone or with other children. That does not mean that you do not have to worry if it's not very nice to still occasionally do things together.

• Go and crafts together. You do it yourself not at all for such a creative person. Playing with clay, paper, watercolor is quickly like without you as an adult immediately put a beautiful work of art together.
• The preparation is fun. Go to the forest and collect leaves and chestnuts and make there along with some matchsticks beautiful beasts of
• Crayon, pinking shears and other craft stuff. For outdoors: chalk!
• Books are always fun to read or watch pictures
• Bike with training wheels or a scooter (good for developing the sense of balance)
• Outdoor play !!! What to think of a staircase tractor with loading shovel, a sandbox?
• For hot summer days: put a (swimming) pool in the garden with lukewarm water. Or leave him with a brush the tiles in the garden "paint" with water. Totally party is like children with water and sand (= mud !!) may play as they can for hours with it.
• Toy tool box with screws really firmly and unscrewing
• Booklets to be endlessly read out. Join the library, so get your child for little money as often and as many new books as he wants.
• Costumes, medical kit etc.
• Simple board games, dominoes or memory
• The first simple computer games are also very nice. Online coloring for example, or memory with Hello Kitty .

THINGS TO DO

Of course it is fun for both adult and child to go somewhere. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and babysitter, do yourself and your child (ren) a favor and go for an hour or a day at step and make it a real party for the small of. With a baby walk easily a round outside in the park. Your toddler can all that petting bunnies at the petting zoo and your toddler you might even want to go to the ball room, the library or the railway?

How Toys Help Children of All Ages

Babies and Toys  

Babies are eager to learn about the world around them of which they have much to learn.  Every new shape, color, texture, taste and sound is a learning experience for them.  Giving your baby toys that are safe and stimulating will help him discover and experience their senses. Rattles and toys that make music are usually favorites of infants and make them attentive to hearing.  Toys with contrasting colors are fascinating to babies and stimulate their developing vision.  As they grow, infants can use toys to explore object permanence and cause and effect relationships.  They also need objects such as blocks to help them build motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Toddlers and Toys

Toddlers can play with a wider variety of toys than they did when they were smaller or babies. They might still enjoy some of the toys they played with as babies, which is perfectly normal.  The same blocks they played with a year or two ago can provide them with new and different educational opportunities as their knowledge expands.  But they also need toys that are designed with kids their age in mind. Shape sorters are great for toddlers to boost learning.  They teach them how to match similar items and provide parents the opportunity to teach them the names of the shapes, so they can then match shapes to their names and even know how they feel.  Lego blocks provide an opportunity to learn more about colors and symmetry while they develop their motor skills.

Preschool, School-Aged Children and Toys

When children reach preschool age, this is the point at which they start learning about letters, numbers and language skills.  Many toys encourage this type of learning, from simple alphabet puzzles to high-tech electronic gadgets. These can give your child a head start by introducing him/her to the things she will be learning in school. Kids who are in school can supplement their learning with fun and educational toys. Giving them the opportunity to have fun while practicing the things they are learning in school will increase their retention of those things and also increase the amount of time dedicated towards learning.  And when your child finds an educational toy they really like, they will be more likely to play with it, reinforcing the things she has learned. Children can learn a lot from playing with toys or even just playing in general. When you give your child educational toys and play with the toy with them, it gives her a chance to bond with you, learn, and have fun at the same time.  And making education enjoyable will help your child retain the things she learns and develop a very positive attitude toward learning.

Benefits of Toys

Newborn babies gather information about their surroundings through their senses. Babies begin to develop by hearing sounds, grab objects and even placing what is in the range in their mouths. Giving your child will help educational toys to stimulate the senses.

Music

Premature babies are at risk of developing health problems. In January 2010, the American Friends of Tel Aviv University reported on a study conducted by Dr. Dror Mandel and Dr. Ronit Lubetzky where they were born premature babies are exposed had more weight gain than premature babies not exposed to Mozart's music for 30 minutes of classical music. It is not known why the music has positive effects on premature babies, but the introduction of the music is a useful tool in the development of your baby. Even if they do not need to gain weight, music can be beneficial for an infant by calm her down, teaching her rhythm and raising her memory - helping your baby's cognitive development.

Toys

Educational toys for babies are tools that help you recognize your baby objects, words and sounds. A receptive child is open to help different types of toys to stimulate his brains. Toys that light can teach your child to understand that every  action is a reaction. Toys that real words to say are essential tools in helping your baby to learn new words. Hiding a toy that plays sounds can help him locate the toy by crawling towards it. This can teach him how to find and reach for things that he wants. Toys that can manipulate a child with his hands can develop his sense of touch, sight and taste. Infants should be supervised when playing with toys, to prevent any injuries.

Walk 

After some time, your baby must be able to crawl and explore the area where she lives develop. Infants can start with the mechanics of walking upright understand using a walker. Some models come with bright toys attached and make some sounds that provide entertainment. However, the older models walker with wheels increase the risk of child injury. They do not meet the new standards for today's walkers. Models approved by the Consumer Products Safety Commission will have a label that reads, have "Meets New Standard." New models too broad to go through door openings and functions to stop the running of babies are over the edge of a staircase.

Books 

Reading a book to your child will increase his listening skills as well as help boost his eyes. Hold your baby close enough so he could see the words and pictures. Click on a picture and name it. Encouraging your child to talk will trust him. Besides promoting his books are essential learning tools for the success of your baby's speech and literacy.

The 10 most expensive Star Wars Collectibles! STAR WARS

Meanwhile, we all know why May 4 is STAR WARS - day each year. But beyond the many movies, series, spin-offs, animation, etc. there is still a huge STAR WARS -money machine:. Merchandise! Since this is often on higher quality products, it is often talked about collectibles. Figurines of all the characters, some clothing, accessories, etc. All of the films is replicated to sell only the spacecraft in original large one has ventured.

Although I consider myself especially when it comes to  STAR WARS, a fan, I have not (yet?) had any collectible. It's not that I'm against it, far from it, but I especially not the place to put or hang anything. However, in the summer of 2012 I have never been so close to my first collectible.

I visited Disneyland in Paris. In the second Disney Studios park you learn a lot about how film is made, attractions based on movies, etc. Of course there is also a souvenir shop, a small department full of Star Wars stuff. Besides the standard plush characters, simplistic toys, cheap light sabers and a few cups there were two things that had caught my attention. The first was a STAR WARS chessboard! Leia and Han were the king and queen,Luke with his fighter was the towers, Storm troopers were the ordinary pawns,etc. For only 40 euros -. A reasonably small price for decent souvenirs to expensive Disneyland - it was mine! One problem: there were only three copies! 2 copies had they figurines stolen  and the third box was a little too hard acquainted with the ground. Result? No chessboard full of STAR WARS figures.

Disappointed, I walked on through the store and I seemed to see the holy grail of STAR WARS: A huge beautiful light saber, on a wooden stand, with a certificate of authenticity and batteries included! It seemed like magic, because I wanted it! Here, too, was only one copy, but completely fine, perfect condition! It was therefore up to 2 meters high. Unfortunately, there were also plenty of issues here. Issue 1 was the price. They asked for 184 euros. In my mind it was worth it, but still a serious bite out of your wallet. Issue 2 was transporting. The box that you got was quite large and our car with 4 adults was already quite full. Issue 3, however, was the greatest. My girlfriend did not see somewhere in the house to put the light saber or to hang. Why buy something if I could not show it off? Right, for all I know is that sword still waiting for a new owner!

HOW EXPENSIVE ARE TOYS?

Despite the fact that I have no children myself, I know that a toy is expensive. The price varies, of course, but remarkably, the older children are the more expensive the toys. For each age group, there are brands that their name some additional questions. On the other hand, that the toys they play with the longest. The STAR WARS collectibles bring you a new dimension to expensive toys. "My" expensive light saber? Compared is dirt cheap! You can find countless on the internet, but we show you the 10 most expensive Star Wars collectibles! Of course they are - certainly in my mind - more interesting as the price rises.

QUI-GON LIGHT SABER

At number 10 we see Qui-Gon Jinn Light saber from STAR WARS - EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE. This small artifact was used by actor Liam Neeson.

In 2001 it was sold at auction for UNICEF. Someone gave then $ 55,000.00!

X-WING SUIT

Number 9 is Luke Skywalker X-Wing Suit. For this huge trendy pack a fan paid $ 60,000.00! Who says they know that designer clothing is too expensive for what you buy? Of course this is also not an ordinary replica, but the real deal! The real suit worn by actor Mark Hamill.

DART VADER: PART 1

Darth Vader can be found at number 8 for a piece of his equipment (helmet, mask and shoulder harness) from STAR WARS: EPISODE V - THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was a lover who counted down $ 70,000.00 in 2003.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

One of my personal favorites can be found at number seven. In terms of price is still reasonable from below, but in terms of affordability, we are already way above my budget. I will quietly still should provide a huge limit increase for my Visa card! Here we see the original Obi-Wan Kenobi Mantel. In 2007 it was sold at auction in London for $95,900.00! Completely insane thing I am thinking!

CHEWBACCA

Before we start at the top 5 is purchased as number 6. Fortunately for the actor Peter Mayhew played Chewbacca and the man has not much hair. The character was also a costume. Just for the mask, someone paid exactly $100,000.00 in 2007. This huge sum must have hurt, especially since you have only the mask.

DART VADER: PART 2

Top 5's start with my second fave Hero Darth Vader's light saber from Episode V. This smaller object ratio in 2005 also changed ownership in the amount of $ 100,000.00! Enja dear readers that is the same than number 6! Taking into account the inflation, this is, however, higher.

DARTH VADER: PART 3

My third favorite can be found at number four. The amount of $ 115,000.00 was given in 2003 for Fighting Darth Vader's Helmet, again from Episode V. It could not be otherwise if you're going to feel very malicious with this mask on your face. Breathing problems Father, I can already imitate hassle! So I'm on the right track.

HAN SOLO!

At number 3, we get the first glimpse of Han Solo. In 2007, the Han Solo Blaster from STAR WARS: EPISODE VI - Return of the Jedi no less than $ 180,000.00 commandments! And these actually would work, do I also direct my wallet open!

LUKE SKYWALKER

We are approaching gradually to the most expensive collectible, but first we have number 2 still something of the great hero of the series. For Luke Skywalker Light saber from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope was offered in 2005, $ 170,000.00.

TIE FIGHTER

At number 1, we find the most expensive toy ever. For the astronomical sum of $ 350,000.00 in 2008 was someone to own a miniature TIE fighter from Episode IV. Honestly, I can hardly believe that someone - compared to the rest - has paid such a fortune over a trifle. You hear it all, the most expensive apartment is not my favorite.

SUM

If we just do a sum, we arrive at the astronomical sum of $1,290,000.00 for all these (cool) stuff. It is therefore high time that we win the lottery and buy a house for everything beautiful in its display. Fortunately dreams still free!
