What to give the boy for 1 year?

It would seem that at the age of 1 year the boys are happy with any gift, so long as the object is fundamentally new, and therefore already interesting. But the choice of a gift for a one-year-old baby is a more laborious task than it seems, because you can buy something that will interest the child for only one evening, and then it will be forgotten or forgotten, and you can buy something that will benefit and growing boy and his parents.

Before starting to consider gift ideas for a boy for 1 year, donors should know exactly the peculiarities of this age. After all, they ultimately form the list of possible gifts. Age-related nuances will make an expensive gadget completely useless for a one-year-old baby, and a bright ball will be turned into a useful and even necessary acquisition. For the first year of his life, the toddler achieved a lot and reached: he went to a new stage of development and cannot be ignored. He is unlikely to be interested in rattles and tweeters that were given in the first year of life.

He perceives visual and auditory images in a new way, he forms speech, he is very emotional. And even if the peanut is silent, inside him, you can be sure that there is a constant conversation with himself - outwardly this manifests itself in babble. Year - the age of awareness of their independence and together with the emerging skills to move in space (crawl, sit, stand up and walk), the child begins to actively “win back” his place in this world. He already shows character.

One-year-old children are very restless: they cannot be in one position for a long time, do something alone, they are almost constantly in motion. Already for this reason, it is not necessary to choose gifts for the child, which require perseverance and concentration. The only exception is the motor actions - the kids of this age are already interested in how the lid is twisted, how the drawer or the door opens.

The first imitativeness appears in the year, and the child makes the first attempts to identify himself with the adults around him. This can and should be used when choosing gifts. Also, kids love to listen when they read and sing songs, and they will be happy with a good children's book by age.

If now parents and donors with their gifts will be able to support the desire for independence in their children, then they will certainly grow a very enterprising, decision-making, responsible person. By the year it becomes clear about what really interests the boy more. Some already strive to disassemble the cabinet handle into parts, while others find it much more interesting to draw and sing. Of course, this does not mean that the child has already chosen his life path, but it is imperative to support his current interests.

All mental development at one-year-old age occurs only during the game. And the child plays during the whole time of wakefulness, he is interested in static objects and moving objects, as well as their combinations (that is why, at the age of one year old, children are so sincerely pleased to shove the spoon into the jar or empty the contents from the jar).Many children a year try to drink from a cup on their own, and they do it quite well. Some begin to learn and a plate with a spoon.

Some parents who are chasing high-speed development forcibly impose on the child activities and knowledge that are not of an age, which can have a bad effect on the psyche of the baby, therefore gifts for a year should be appropriate:

• age, mental and emotional development;
• interests and skills of the baby;
• physical abilities of the child;
• experiments, knowledge;
• promoting physical development;
• as well as safe and high quality.

No one knows better than his parents all of the above features of his son. Therefore, it is on them that the greatest responsibility lies in choosing a gift for a year. It is mom and dad who need not only to make their choice, but also to suggest practical ideas for other relatives and friends invited to such a significant celebration as the first birthday.

In principle, to please the baby is still quite easy. He rejoices at everything bright, sounding, rolling, folding, etc. But parents should give the child a gift that will contribute to development, that is, developing.

Here are some popular gift ideas that match the development of a one year old child and requirements for gifts for such babies.

• Children's vehicles, such as tolokar. This is a large plastic machine, which will first be studied by him externally, and then the child will try to ride on it. But since he cannot cope with the control, the tolokar is equipped with a “live engine” - mom, dad or brother, who will push the machine, drag it by the rope along with the baby sitting on it.

If the crumb starts claiming its rights to independence, he will be able to learn how to push his feet off the floor and so move in space. And interesting, and informative, and useful for the development of the legs and spine. You can also buy a running bike for your kid - a small steady bike, which they ride not using their pedals, but pushing off the floor with their feet.

• Jumping devices: this includes gymnastic children's fitball (ball) and rubber animals (donkeys, horses, dogs) in which you can sit on your back and jump with pleasure. You should not explain that karapuz jumping practice should be carefully controlled, and therefore, if you are looking for a gift that will take the child while the mother is busy, this option is not suitable.

• Home sports complex - an excellent gift that will serve more than one year faithfully, useful for the physical development of the baby, but it should be chosen taking into account the dimensions of the apartment. Usually children's sports complexes take up a lot of space. Carefully match your capabilities and your desires. If the house is private, you can buy a street sports complex for the kid, which will include stairs, and slides, and a lot of interesting things. Choosing a home sports complex, give preference to models with mats, because the fall is the best teacher and coach of one-year-old athletes.

• Swing - A good option for those who have a home sports complex, whatever one may say, does not fit. There are floor models that require a certain place, and there are suspended ones that are easily mounted in the doorway, and when the child has ridden, they are easy to get out of the way, just throwing it behind a special mount. Choose a reliable swing, from which the baby does not fall out, which is not injured.The options are the most diverse, for any budget.

• Game house - even in a small apartment a baby should have its own place for games and experiments. Such a shelter can be a game tent or a house, which is easy to install, and if desired - easy to remove. Tent - a cheap option, simple. House with labyrinths, toy pockets - a more difficult option, and therefore more expensive.

• Pool - two options: water and dry. In a private house, where there is an opportunity to put an inflatable pool outside in the summer so that the baby can bathe (a great way to harden), it is better to choose a water one. And for residents of high-rise, who do not even have a summer cottage, a dry pool with colored balls of soft and medium hard plastic (a great way to massage and foot development) will be a good alternative. There are double options that are more like an inflatable playground. In the winter, you can play with balls, and in the summer you can pour water and make funny swims and games in the water.

• Sandbox - A great gift idea for residents of a private house or owners of a dacha, where this sandbox can actually be installed. There are sandboxes different in size, design, roominess. There are products of dual purpose, the so-called sandbox-shells, one half of which is filled with sand, the other - with water. There are products with a lid, which can cover the sand from getting wet in the rain and faeces of stray animals who like to defend the need for children's sandboxes.

By the sandbox, you can buy a set of buckets, a scoop, molds for sculpting waders. Such a gift will serve faithfully for many years, because almost to school boys love to play in the sand.

• Cars - under this word lies the mass of all that is interesting and useful. A one-year-old child usually pays attention to cars on the street, and therefore he can be pleased with a small toy car (if it is not very small), as well as a large bright plastic car, in the back of which he can almost fit himself. You should not give an anniversary of expensive models on the radio - such technologies are still too complicated for the crumbs and more suitable for his dad. The main thing is that there are no small parts in the car chosen by you, and the large doors, wheels, trunk opened, spun and at the same time were securely fastened.

Whatever the temptation to give a real electric car to a child, you should wait with this purchase. A machine that requires control (there are pedals and a steering wheel that needs to be rotated, reverse), while for the child it is difficult: it can fall, be injured, get scared.

• Set of colorful cubes - classic educational games for yearling. Cubes can be small and modest or large, from which you can build a whole town; soft and hard, with pictures and without, the child will be equally happy for them, because folding and combining objects between themselves is his favorite activity now. If mom and dad are afraid that the child may be injured on the hard edges of the cube, you can take a set made of cloth, there are such products.

• Sets of vegetables, fruits, animals the child should like it. On the example of animal figures, you can introduce a crumb to the world of nature, and plastic vegetables will be an excellent imitation of real ones, and the kid will be able, imitating his mother, to “cook” lunch. Many of these kits contain vegetables and fruits, which can be divided into halves, and then combine them - this is their developmental function.

• Finger paint - A great option for very young artists. These paints do not fit, because the child still does not know how to hold a brush in their hands and tries to taste everything. Finger paints are safe, if the child decides to try them, they can draw with their fingers, and they can also easily wash off clothes and wash themselves from the artist himself.

• Children's books for the little ones - This gift will please more than one day, because children are asking for their favorite poems and fairy tales to be re-read several times a day for months.The main thing - the pages must be tight so that the child does not tear them. Pictures should be bright and riveting attention. There are special books in the My First Book series. The content of books is simple, uncomplicated, which will be understandable for the kid.

You shouldn’t buy music books: psychologists are sure that at the educational stage of a speech the unimpressive voice of anonymous broadcasters only harms. In addition, the child will not be able to learn something more, to clarify something, because the recorded voice of the announcer is not the mother, he will not repeat the duck twice.

• A set of "male tools" - all the boys are interested in hammering plastic pegs into the holes, banging a hammer on the panel and again imitating, but this time it’s already the pope. Special tools for the smallest representatives of the stronger sex help develop fine motor skills, and also meet the needs of the yearling in experiments.

• Useful and practical gifts - this includes clothes, bathing goods, bed linen, sets of children's dishes, a bedside lamp in the bedroom, towels, etc. Such gifts are very useful for the child, but pleasant and interesting, alas, only for his parents, and not for the culprit celebrations. Since it was decided to give pants and a jacket for walking, do not forget to supplement the gift with a small, bright and pleasant toy for the child, so that he would also be interested, for example, with a sorter with large details.

Godparents traditionally have a very responsible attitude towards choosing a gift for a godson. Of course, you can expect anything from the godmother, even the fact that parents will ask her for themselves, but usually godmothers look at the distance and give useful gifts that may be useful, if not now, but in a deferred perspective. Here are a few non-standard ideas.

• Savings account or bank savings card in the name of the child - the benefit of the gift from the godmother will be surely appreciated by the child when he grows up and will be able to use the funds accumulated there. An account must be opened for at least 17 years, the first installment depends on the conditions of the bank, there should be a possibility to replenish the account.

A gold bar or a valuable bank coin in a gift box can be a useful gift for a year. They will never lose their value, and if there are several such gifts before coming of age, the child will decide for himself whether to invest them in education or in his own business, for example. For this, he will be grateful to the godfather throughout his life.

• Tree sapling - This is a very symbolic gift, which is associated with ancient traditions. If you plant your first tree with him on his birthday, it will be possible from year to year to see how both grow. This will be his personal tree, the place of his "power". In addition, when a boy becomes a man, he can safely say that he has planted a tree in this life. He will only grow his own son and build a house.

• Bottle of good wine - do not be scared, no one calls to feed the child. This is another tradition. Good wine with a personalized label and a gift inscription is sent for storage until the 18th anniversary of the child or his wedding. Then the bottle will be solemnly opened and poured into glasses for a toast to those who helped the child grow big, strong and healthy.

Traditional gifts from godfathers for a year also include:

• jewelry - a gold cross and chain, a gold bracelet for a boy;
• children's bible with pictures;
• casts of the legs and arms of the baby;
• dishes for a child, possibly with a personal engraving;
• silver spoon in a case.

Taking care not only of the baby’s spirit, but also of his body, godmothers can give an orthopedic massage mat for charging and walking barefoot, balls and rings, children's skittles. To satisfy the passion of the anniversaries to open, turn on and press everything will help the business board (a board with a mass of interesting pieces - from dials to sockets and lugs), which is not difficult to do with your own hands.

Grandparents are usually the most practical of all relatives. They care about the fact that the baby has new clothes, shoes, warm socks and a pair of new pajamas. Let grandma be yourself and make such gifts. Here are a few gift ideas from the grandmother and grandfather to the baby.

• Bed linen, bedding - a bedding set for the baby will never be superfluous, especially if you embroider the name or initials of the baby on it.
• Clothes for the child (you should first check with your parents what exactly the little mod needs for the upcoming season).
• Among the toys the choice is huge: from designers for kids with large details to ducks wheelchairs (children are very interested in wheelchairs a year), you can buy a simple musical toy in which there are several buttons and sounds that are understandable to the child, for example, you press a sheep, it bleats, you press a kitten - it meows . There are not only such toys, but also interactive music mats that do the same thing, but you can roll them on the floor, crawl on them to your liberty and sit on them, and when not needed, roll them up and take them away.

The uncle and aunt of a one-year-old baby can easily afford “serious” ones, but original gifts, for example, an annual subscription to visit a children's group in the pool - swimming is useful and usually very popular with children. Among these useful gifts can be attributed, and the certificate in the center of early development, and paid and ordered a photo session for parents and babies at a professional photographer. It is also unusual, but it would be useful to give a nephew a children's suitcase on wheels if the family travels and takes the child with them.

Among the toys, according to reviews, for nephews often take educational tables, sorter, hamsters, repetitions. Also, nephews are trying to please the abundance of balloons. Just take the balls tight, better - helium, to eliminate the sudden sharp sound from the ball burst on the floor, which the kid can get very scared. Uncles and aunts, as people close to a family, can give money in a beautiful envelope (the gift will be pleasant to parents who themselves will buy the child something they see fit).

One should only warn against gifts for which parents “thank you” will not say for sure:

• livestock - hamsters, kittens, puppies, fish, etc .;
• electronic toys that require certain skills;
• fragile toys with small details that a child can swallow, shove in the ear, nose;
• luxurious mastic cakes to order - the child does not eat this yet, and if he eats, he will not feel the value of the gift, he will not show interest in it.
