What toys should a child need to buy

The toy market today is as endless as the universe. And even if your baby only a year, you probably already have nowhere to put them at home.

Are all these toys good for the baby? They are bright, colorful, sounding - but the child quickly loses interest. Or fluffy, pleasant to the touch - but collect a lot of dust. Or very smart and interactive - but the kid quickly breaks them against the wall.

So, although the favorite toys of children 1-3 years old will still be items like a plunger, a ladle and a saucepan, here is a small list of what his childhood should not pass without.

1. Sorter

There are a lot of them, and you don't need all of them at once. They come in all shapes, plastic and wood, with or without music. It's good if the sorter is not heavy: kids can throw them in frustrated feelings when something doesn't work out. The main function of the sorter is to teach the child to distinguish colors and shapes. Therefore, too complex a toy is useless here.

2. Musical toy

The main thing is to choose one in which the sound is muted. Or at least the volume is adjustable. Of course, this cannot be done in a tambourine or drums, but toy musical instruments perfectly develop coordination, memory, motor skills in a child. Also, kids love microphones, toy synthesizers with images and sounds of animals. Music is always development.

3. Constructor

This is simply an irreplaceable thing for a child's development. It may not be expensive: the less detail and similarity with real objects, the more the child's imagination will develop, who will play with this constructor. Such a game can serve until adolescence.

4. Plasticine

Modeling from plasticine or similar materials is an excellent blurring of motor skills, imagination, as well as a strong soothing effect for a child. It works very well on hyperactive children.

5. Jigsaw puzzles

For the smallest, they can be large and consist of only two parts: for example, a figure and animals in an appropriate amount; the animal and the house where it lives, etc., the older the children, the less details and the more of them in the set. Puzzles calm, develop thinking, logic, associations, can. To captivate the child for a long time.
