Until the age of one, most parents celebrate every past month. And the semiannual line is celebrated by absolutely everything. As a rule, this occurs in a rather narrow circle. Usually invited close relatives and godparents of the child. Enough 5-6 people, as a large number of strangers can scare the baby. The main problem for guests is to choose a gift.
Due to age and developmental features, there is a certain set of things that can be presented to a baby for six months.
Boy Gift Ideas
If the gift is intended to the godson, nephew or younger brother, it is better to opt for a toy. All accessories for six months must meet certain requirements:
- availability of quality certificates for all materials;
- smooth and smooth edges;
- hygiene and the possibility of repeated washing, as children at that age pull many things in their mouths;
- the absence of small, loose parts;
- reliable battery protection.
In order for a child to wake up interest, toys with sound and light effects are preferable. The sound should be pleasant. The ability to adjust the volume will be another plus.
Consider what kind of gifts you can give a six-month old boy.
- The ball is a universal gift. First, you can throw and roll, and then - toss and transfer to another. Balls can be several - small or large, elastic or soft, smooth or with massage pimples. For kids, an important parameter of toys is weight - the toy should be light.
In particular demand are rattling or translucent models with a toy and a light inside.
- Cubes - soft or hard. To begin with, the baby will put them on top of each other, and then build walls or towers of them. They will be useful even at an older age - for the construction of fortresses or roads. You can learn colors, letters or numbers from the pictures on them. Watch the quality of the material - the cubes should be stable.
- Pyramids They can be completely different in their design - in the form of rings, which are put on the stick, or molds placed on each other. Establishing the details, the baby will develop dexterity and coordination.
Thanks to them, you can learn colors, figures, compare sizes.
- Knocking knocks. With this game, the child learns to hit the balls. At this age, he will be interested in individual hammers with squeakers.
- A small game center. For development we need toys with buttons, switches and levers. Each action will be accompanied by funny sounds and flashing colored lights. Such a toy can quickly distract the crumb, if he is naughty.
In addition to toys, young boys often give clothes. But in this case it is very difficult to guess the size. If in doubt, it’s better to take a bigger size.. At the age of six months, boys already have almost the entire adult range of clothing - from jeans to stylish shirts and sweaters.
What to hand the girl?
Toys for girls and boys in their first year of life are almost the same. Rather, this issue will be more worrying adults. Accessories for girls are full of shades of pink and purple, and you can also find corresponding pictures on them. Simple, but bright objects will be suitable for a gift.
- Tumbler - a kind of first doll. Like children thanks to the unusual movements and sounds that it makes.Will encourage the child to reach out and move toward her.
- Yula - can be simple or multilevel (with figures moving inside). First yula will entertain the baby. A little later, she herself will be able to master the launch of this mechanism.
- Toy interactive animals. They can move around the room, talk and execute commands. Such a robot is able to attract the attention of a child for a long time. When choosing, it is necessary to evaluate the fragility of the toy, as the kids have little control over their efforts. An ordinary animal toy that can sing songs or tell fairy tales after pressing a button will also work.
- Pendants. Since the girl spends a lot of time in a stroller, crib or playpen, special textile toys are hung from their sides. They can be grabbed and pulled, having fun with hidden rustling elements and vibration when returning back.
- Rattles. Depending on the level of development of the child, there are more simple or complex models. In addition to the parts that emit noise, they can be mobile elements in the form of figures. The main thing in rattles is a good handle, for which it will be comfortable to hold.
- Musical instruments. Already in 6 months the child can get acquainted with the maracas, tambourine or drum. The real find will be a toy piano with big keys. It will be interesting if, in addition to the usual sounds, the piano will play short melodies or emit animal voices.
- Air balloons - attractive to children of all ages. Since the crumb can hold the rope only for a short time, they are best tied to the crib or stroller.
The choice of clothes for girls is much wider. On the first anniversary of the goddaughter or niece you can give a beautiful dress. Actual and dressings for hair, even if they are very short. As an ornament for bandages use flowers from ribbons or plastic figures. In the summer, beautiful panama women, hats or kerchiefs will suit as a gift - even little girls like to dress up.
Since it is at this age children become more active, you can organize a family photo session.

Parents know their child better, so they can pick up the really necessary and useful things. Moreover, at 6 months, many children begin to sit and get ready to crawl. This stage of development of the child requires new accessories.

When buying a child different mashed potatoes, it is necessary to clarify - what products have already been introduced into the diet, as well as what brand parents prefer.
Useful toys for swimming - rubber or plastic. There are varieties with clockwork mechanisms that can move through the water. Together with funny little animals skins, gels and shampoos can enter the bathing set. To decorate the daily procedures will help baby towel with a bright print.
