What to give a one and a half year old child?

A gift to a child at any age is not an easy task, especially if the child does not speak and cannot express his wish. If a boy or girl is one and a half years old - this is one of the most difficult periods, since the child is already big and has its own desires, but is not too able to voice them. It is good when parents or relatives know the preferences of a little person, but it happens that you are invited to visit, where there is a completely unfamiliar boy and girl. Giving a present to a child in this case is as difficult as passing a quest.

Of course, it is very important to focus on age, the interests of the baby in 1.5 years. Because of this, there are general tips for choosing a gift to a one and a half year old boy or girl.

• Do not postpone the purchase of a presentation in the closet. Believe me, if you think up this question in advance, save yourself from buying the first nonsense that came across.
• Ask your parents or child if you can. Older children write letters to Santa Claus and order gifts, but one and a half are from the realm of dreams.
• Remember the age and do not buy toys "for growth". Believe me, the kid only scatters the details of a complex designer or puzzles.
• Gender at this age is already important, but not fundamental. A girl can give a doll, a boy typewriter, and vice versa.
• The hobby is of greater importance, books, educational games, pyramids, a mosaic, and a naughty ball are suitable for a prudent kid.
• Before you buy sweets, ask if your child is allergic, and what sweets he is allowed to eat at home.
• At this age, the child still does not understand the meaning of the holiday too much, for him the good mood of the parents and those around him is more important.
• Musical toys are a great choice at this age.
• Remember that curiosity is the main feature of kids, they are interested in everything that is new!
• Security is still of paramount importance - you should not give something that contains small details that you can put in your mouth and choke.
• A good idea is impressions. Bring the kid to the play for the little ones, ride the pony, take a walk in the park - it will be remembered more than any toy.
• The most practical and safe gift option at this age is a soft toy.
• When choosing clothes, be sure to ask mom for advice!
• You can already begin to draw - finger paints, albums, pencils and markers are very popular with children.
• On the New Year, be sure to decorate the Christmas tree! Just pick up toys that do not fight.

Child psychologists are advised to adhere to certain rules that will save from mistakes when choosing a gift for a baby.

• Adults often judge in an adult. And it makes them make the main adult mistake - to buy practical, instead of joyful. Of course, autumn boots are very important, but they are not presented for a birthday or New Year. This should be something that pleases the baby. Magic and fairy tale are very important for children, do not deprive them of this happiness with practicality of an adult.
• Educational toys. This is a stumbling block for many adults, however, if the toy is matched by age, even if the baby is a little too old, it is always relevant and good. It does not have to be a complex constructor. Sorter, mosaic, wooden puzzles, a house for dolls, a set for drawing or sculpting - all these are educational toys, and you definitely need to give them.
• Dear gift is not at all bad, if the parents have the opportunity, and the baby dreams of an expensive toy.
• Disappointment. No parent or adult can be insured against this; you do not have to do tragedy if the child did not like the gift.

When parents think about a gift for a baby, they often think from a practical point of view and consider clothes and shoes in this capacity. If we are talking about parents, everything is simple, otherwise the risk of overshooting is very great. Without the advice of parents here is not enough. If the mother agrees to this development, give her a certificate to the children's supermarket, or go to the store with them. Be sure to come to the court such practical gifts as:

• linens;
• a set of children's towels;
• dishes for children;
• silver cutlery with engraving.

Another win-win option - a certificate for a photo session with a children's photographer. Parents will appreciate this gift option. Moreover, not every family can allocate a fairly serious amount from the budget for this item of expenditure.

If you want to present a gift to the child himself, a completely different approach is needed. At this age, the baby is already well aware that around him a wonderful world, full of surprises. Therefore, the emotions from the gift is quite a doable task. This is a good age period for the development of social skills, so the following options are perfect:

• dollware;
• basket with a variety of items - vegetables, fruits, goods like a supermarket;
• toy knife and objects that they can cut;
• professional sets of doctor, hairdresser, plumber, cook.

If the baby does not show interest in them yet, choose universal ones:

• books for swimming;
• the pyramids;
• sorter;
• toys that get turned on;
• musical instruments - guitars and balalaikas, pipes, drums;
• simple puzzles;
• constructors for kids;
• cubes;
• Railway;
• dolls;
• cars;
• mosaic;
• games with lacing.

Remember that children are individual, each of them develops according to their own scenario. Choosing a gift, you need to take this into account. On the other hand, even if you are a little hurried with the gift, the baby will definitely grow up and appreciate it soon. The main thing is to pay attention to the quality of the toy - the materials should be safe.
