Very soon all our sweet Augustans will have birthdays! The question arises: what to give to a 2-year-old baby?

To make it easier for parents to decide on a gift for the birthday boy and to have answers to the question ready in advance: “What should I give you?” Let's try to work together to make a list of the required 2 one year old child gifts!
A gift for a child should be special. Especially if we are talking about the age of 2 years. It is necessary to take into account that the child is experiencing rapid development, and besides, soon, namely at 3 years old, the first child will come crisis age child. The gift should please him and contribute to his development. Let's think about what it could be.
Sets of role-playing games.
A good gift will be a themed set. This could be “Kitchen”, “Hairdresser”, “Tools”, “Shop”, etc. The choice of such a toy will be prompted by the baby’s hobbies.
Set of animals (wild, domestic).
While playing with them, you can teach your baby how to imitate the voices of animals, talk about their babies, their habitat (where they live), and what they eat.
Lacing.
This exciting game, which will teach the child to place objects on the background, match holes, lace shoes, the child will acquire design skills. The choice of lacing is great. This is a button with a “needle”, where the baby’s task is to push the lace into the hole and pull it out reverse side. And plot ones: we attach the missing details to the unfinished picture (for the hedgehog - a leaf; for the house - windows, roof; for the Christmas tree - toys). This game will teach your child attentiveness, accuracy, and will become good material for the development of motor skills and speech.
Mosaic.
This is a multifaceted game that helps the child develop a creative vision of the world, teaching him to work according to certain rules. For children under three years old, it is recommended to buy mosaics with large chips that are comfortable to hold in the hand. There is a mosaic set that consists of multi-colored nail chips with hemispherical caps and a rectangular white field. Such parts are easily attached and easily removed from the field. There is a mosaic in which the parts are connected to each other by slots and protrusions. Such chips can be laid out on any horizontal surface: floor, table. By connecting them together, the baby can build a path, a house, a sun and other interesting compositions.
Puzzles.
Beginning players need pictures cut along straight lines. The number of pieces in such a puzzle should be no more than four. When choosing puzzles for your little one, pay attention to the pictures, which should be clear and recognizable. Start the game with the simplest images - a house, a car, a butterfly. By assembling a car from parts, the child develops visual imaginative thinking, forms a holistic idea of ​​the subject.
The first board games.
Board games include lotto, where you need to match identical pairs of cards. With this game baby game form gets acquainted with the world around him: learns the names of fruits, vegetables, geometric shapes etc. There are also themed board games. Usually they are large cardboard cards, divided into two elements using Puzzle technology. Each element depicting objects has its own pair that must be found. These are the sets “Whose House”, “Professions”, “Who is Whose Cub”, “Clothing”, etc. Board games develop the child's memory, thinking and observation skills.
Constructor.
you should focus your attention on a thematic set consisting of large parts. Since elements of story-based play predominate in the play of 2-3 year old children, with the help of a construction set a child will be able to build a house for a doll, a road for a car, or a garage. Also popular are construction block constructors. They help the baby develop imagination, perseverance, imaginative thinking, and motor skills.
Plasticine.
you can choose at your own discretion. But it is better for a beginning sculptor to purchase mass for sculpting or salt dough, since they do not stain hands, they do not need to be “warmed up” and are easy for the baby to mold. Teach your baby to pinch off pieces, roll balls and flatten them with your finger, roll out sausages, and later make simple figures. Games with plasticine develop a child’s sensorimotor skills, improve coordination of movements, and develop thinking and imagination.
Easel, sketchbooks and coloring books.
They are usually given along with paints and pencils. Drawing develops imaginative thinking and imagination. You should not be upset if your child works with coloring in a unique way, for example, paints the sheet solid, as if not seeing the outline - these are the peculiarities of perception at this age. The contour for a two-year-old is not a limiter, but a basis on which he applies his images. Most artists will learn to use coloring for its intended purpose only after three years.
Books.
It is preferable to have specimens made of thick cardboard, since two-year-olds love to tear paper into small pieces. The book should have bright pictures and a small amount of text (with easy-to-understand fairy tales and poems). Two-year-old children love to listen to descriptions of pictures, repeated many times. Later they will become more interested in the content, and when the time comes, they will read the text on their own. Thus, a book given at age 2 will last for a long time.
Toy sets of vegetables and fruits.
Used for learning and play purposes. With the help of the mother, the child will learn to recognize vegetables and fruits, tell what taste is inherent in each of them, and practice identifying color and shape. In the future, it is possible to use the sets in story games.
Children's musical instruments.
Guitars and pianos, accordions, drums, trumpets and rattles will diversify a child’s leisure time and expand his understanding of sounds. It is better to give musical toys with the consent of the parents.
Discs with cartoons.
It can be given as a gift if the parents are not against introducing the child to the blue screen early. “Good” cartoons are recommended, for example, “Luntik”, “Trains from Chuggington”. Dosed showing of cartoons allows the child to expand his vocabulary, has educational value, and brings positive emotions to the child.
Dolls.
Of course, this is an irreplaceable gift for girls. Doll and the sea various accessories for them: strollers, clothes, feeding/bathing/changing kit, etc.
Toy transport.
The boy's gift. Cars, planes, boats of all sizes and colors. Thematic transport is becoming relevant: trucks, tractors, ambulances, police cars, excavators, etc.
