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.

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.

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.
