Baby Care

One of the most important baby care items you have to keep an eye out for is SIDS. SIDS stands for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and is causing by accidental loss of oxygen and suffocation while the baby sleeps at night. Many of the SIDS cases happen for babies between the ages of 2-6 months and babies that are on their stomach. However, there are cases of SIDS when the Baby is not sleeping on their stomach. Proper Baby Care recommendations by doctors and hospitals are to put babies to sleep in their cribs with nothing else, so no blankets, baby bumpers, and more!

With many parents we’ve talked to, we’ve seen tons of cases of babies hitting their heads on the crib rails and also getting their feet stuck in the crib railings. While there is definitely some risk to babies getting injured by getting stuck in the crib rails or banging their heads. Most parents think it’s not worth the risk of having bumpers, heavy blankets, and would rather limit the risk of SIDS.

Baby Bumpers can be thick pads that protect the baby from banging their heads or getting stuck in the railings. We would recommend the Breathable Baby Bumpers first to test to see if they work for your needs as they are made of a mesh Baby Bumpers and more breathable than the thick pad Baby Bumpers. Still there is an increased risk with bumpers, however, getting breathable bumpers is a good option if your baby is turning all the way around, banging their head or getting stuck in the crib rails. These breathable bumpers are very cheap and may make a good option to try out before putting heavily padded bumpers into the crib with your baby at night.

It’s also a good option to invest in a Summer baby monitor with video so you can check on your baby once in a while in their crib to make sure they are not stuck in the corner of the crib in a position that they may not be able to get themselves out of.

In Children’s book stores, you’ll find books with sturdy materials that are developed for babies and for children up to and including the preschool and kindergarten age years. Toy books can been made of heavy cloth, fabric, and cardboard which is sometimes padded. They are called Toy Books. These books are to be read but also to be played with by babies or toddlers.

These books are the first intro to written books and are very important for child development and care. Many Toy Books have a familiar story or nursery rhyme theme. Almost always the books have big images or bright colors. You can also find toy books that “pop up” images as you skip from one page to the next.

The can learn to turn the page, an important emergent literacy step, and hear language as it is also read to them. The books are meant to be shared, as an adult or older child can read it to them. The familiarity of this book then often lends itself to a child actually “reading” the book from memory (again, another important step in the reading process). In this way, the child learns language. In addition, many children’s books repeat words. This leads to forming a memory trace within the child of the letters and the sound of the word(s) as it is heard and viewed frequently. This then leads to the book being read by the child and the book becoming the child’s favorite.

The next time, then, you as a parent, friend, or relative of a baby or child pass an aisle containing these colorful, playful books that look indeed enticing for children, don’t pass them up. They make great gifts! It is highly likely that your intended little one will enjoy these books both in play and as a learning tool. The early books will lead a child to a love of shared reading as you or someone reads the book to the child and models the reading process for and with them. The baby or child will love touching or feeling the book, and, again, three of the senses are involved in the process (seeing, hearing, and the kinesthetic experience of touching). The Toy Book will, most importantly, instill in the child a love of books as a pleasurable, fun experience. This will lay the foundation for a lifetime of the enjoyment of reading.

Your child’s feet will continue to develop right up until their mid to late teens. Newborn babies’ feet don’t even have the full complement of bones they will have in later life (26), and the arch of the foot won’t develop until around the age of 2. It is essential that you ensure that their feet get the right support and protection throughout childhood to enable them to grow and develop in a healthy way.

Choosing footwear

New babies: Until your baby starts to crawl and move around, experts recommend bare feet to ensure healthy development. Socks and booties are fine for protecting against the cold when you are outside, but make sure that they don’t restrict your baby’s feet. Even jumpsuits that are too short can result in claw, retracted or hammer toes, so you may decide to opt for ones without feet.

Crawling babies: Soft, slip-on “pre-walking” shoes help protect the feet of crawling babies, and you may want to invest in at least one pair with a rubber toe-protector. However, make sure you continue to give your baby the chance, where safe, to practice crawling and standing on bare feet.

Toddlers: Once your child is walking confidently, you will need to buy some proper shoes that support and protect their feet. Experts still recommend letting your child walk around without shoes as much as possible, where it is safe to do so, as this promotes healthy foot development.

When buying shoes, it’s always best to go to a good shoe shop where you can have your child’s feet measured by staff on a machine which will accurately measure the length and width of their feet. This will ensure that the shoes you buy will be a proper fit. Outdoor shoes need to be well made and sturdy, preferably made of leather and with a flexible, non-slip sole. The toes of your child’s shoes should be wide and allow the toes inside to spread out, and high enough so that the top of the shoe doesn’t press down on the toenails.

Toddlers generally need to have their feet re-measured every 6-8 weeks, and older children every 3-4 months.

Caring for your child’s feet

Keeping your baby’s feet clean and the nails short is essential to healthy foot development. Remember that babies’ feet tend to sweat more than adults’, and their toenails tend to grow faster too, so it is a good idea to use bath time as an opportunity to check feet on a regular basis. Look out for red patches and blisters, which may indicate that your child’s shoes are not fitting properly. Don’t burst blisters, however tempting this may be, as you run the risk of opening up the irritated patch to infection.

Children can be very sensitive about having their feet inspected or their toenails cut, so it is a good idea to try and do this while they are asleep if you can. For example, if you are taking a long car journey and you suspect your child may fall asleep in the car, remove their shoes and socks before setting off so that you can have a few undisturbed minutes to indulge in a bit of foot-care while they are blissfully unaware.

Some common minor problems

In-toeing and out-toeing: Some children when they start walking exhibit an “in-toed” or “out-toed” gait, meaning that one or both of their feet turn inwards or outwards. This usually corrects itself without any intervention, but if you are concerned, or if the problem persists past toddler hood, consult your doctor or health visitor.

In growing toenails: Red or swollen skin at the side of your child’s toenail may indicate an in growing toenail. To avoid these, cut your child’s toenails straight across and try to file off any sharp edges. If your child is experiencing persistent discomfort from in growing toenails, consult your doctor.

Hand, foot and mouth disease: Not related in any way to the foot and mouth disease that affects livestock, this is a common viral infection which causes blisters in the mouth, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. It is contagious and most nurseries will insist that children stay home as long as they have blisters. Hand, foot and mouth may be accompanied by a light fever, but will generally clear up quickly and without treatment after a few days.

There is no doubt whatsoever that all babies need diapers! How does one go about choosing the best one for the baby?

What are the criterion? Remember; diapers do not come cheap, they can be expensive and they have to be changed any number of times everyday.

No number of diapers can therefore be “too many”!

Here are some tips for choosing baby diapers:

* First, decide whether you want to use disposable diapers, or the cloth ones that can be washed and reused over and over again. Of course, both have their own advantages and disadvantages: while disposable diapers may be hard on your budget, they offer you a convenience that cloth diapers do not.
* Cloth diapers on the other hand are good for your baby, and he will feel more comfortable in them than in the disposable ones, especially if those don’t fit him too well. However, keep the environment in mind: even though disposable diapers pollute the environment, cloth diapers need to be bleached, washed, and dried, and they tend to deplete our precious natural resources.
* Choosing the wrong diaper will leave you with more mess than you can handle, especially during the first few weeks of the baby’s arrival. Of course, disposable diapers come in all sorts of sizes to suit your baby, while cloth diapers can be adjusted according to your baby’s weight and body shape.
* There is a type of diaper called “G-string diaper” that combines environment friendly as well as the convenience of a disposable diaper. It comes with a plastic belt, through which you insert the pad-like diaper. It neither leaks nor messes up the place.
* If you have opted for cloth diapers, be aware that there are several different folds that you can make while making up the nappy to fit your baby. These are prefold, bird’s eye and gauze. Try them all and then decide which one will suit your baby the best. Most of these can be fitted with a strip of absorbent sponge to absorb the liquid. However, if you are using cloth, make sure you have an area where they can be sun dried.
* There are cloth diapers available today known as “PUL”, which means “polyurethane laminated”. This is a soft and stretchable fabric that is water proof, and will provide great comfort to your baby.
* Hemp fibres are used today to make cloth diapers. Hemp is a highly absorbent material, and is more durable than the traditional cotton. It will also not mildew too quickly.
* Make sure the diaper you have chosen has a proper cover. This will prevent leakage.

When you think for babies bedding at first you have to choose a perfect room. Your baby’s room must be hygienic and ensure day light is available. The room should be a center place where everyone can monitor the room easily for your baby’s security. Safety is the most important part when you plan to decorate babies room with different sorts of furniture, various essential accessories and other home equipment. You should buy the best one for babies as your budget to ensure the baby feels more comfortable.

When you design or decorate baby’s room you cannot think imagine it without a crib. You may also purchase easy chair, table, dressers, diaper holder, toy boxes, wastebaskets, clocks, nightlights, clothes hamper etc. when you decorate any baby’s room, put the crib in the center of the room and other furniture set up all around it so baby can easily get all set-up around it.

Babies spend most of their time sleeping. Therefore bedding play more vital role than toys and other furniture. For baby’s bedding  it is better to choose cotton material or fabric because cotton is helpful for human skin and body as well as its comfortable for babies. Cotton beddings are easy to wash and comfortable to carrying and its durability is longer than others. You may use mattress, which should be firm not hard and it should fit in the crib tightly. It must be adjustable to pick up your baby easily. You may use special water proof cover to protect bedding. On the other hand, always keep in your mind that all the furniture, walls, and bed sheet must be in same color combination because it gives babies more pleasure and comfort but you may use different type of color combination as your requirement.

Delusion N1: Rely on the taste of the child

Parents sometimes are mistaken and wrong. For example, in fashion at the time of the emancipation of women they were mistaken about the need for infant feeding with breast milk. It was believed that this process would spoil the body and can be painlessly replaced by artificial feeding. As a result, pediatricians had to convince the careless mothers that bare necessity for their children during the first months of life is mother’s milk and no artificial substitutes can fully replace it.

Today, pediatricians have to convince women to a lack or absence of their own milk (but this problem is very crucial – almost 70% of Russian women suffer from reduced secretion of milk. So they try to refute another common parental mistake: “In order to feed a child can be used any children products. After all, this is not so. If you can not feed the child with breast milk, the replacement would be by the best food in the form of an adapted liquid infant formula.

Delusion N2: Feeding the child with different mixtures

Most parents feed their kids with a mixture of non-adapted cow’s milk. It’s a serious mistake to feed babies with cow’s milk, because it is rich in natural and useful substances. In fact, proteins in this milk are “too heavy” for the body of the child. Any pediatrician will tell you that when artificial feeding should be used only adapted milk formulas, as by their composition and properties they are closer to human milk. Such mixtures can be used from the earliest days of baby’s life. We, following the recommendations of the Professional Institute of Nutrition RAMS, will advise the mixture “Agusha”. They are proved to be the best; many modern parents know and prefer to use this mixture.

Delusion N3: the mixture does not have a healthy effect

“Agusha” – is a mixture of two types: unsalted and sour-milk. By the way, pediatricians recommend unsalted mixture. Sour-milk mixture from “Agusha” is a unique product, which contains live lacto- elements that suppresses the growth of pathogenic flora and is an excellent preventive of dysbacteriosis. Doctors recommend the sour-milk mixture in case of functional disorders of the digestive tract among babies – colic, constipation, and depressed immunity and high risk of respiratory and intestinal infections. Moreover, its inclusion in the diet reduces the manifestations atonic dermatitis among children, often occurring with the introduction of complementary food.

Delusion N4: the mixture can be prepared “by eye”

Liquid mixtures “Agusha” are very convenient for parents. The process of its

preparation can be expressed literally in a nutshell: warm up – and feed! Believe me, this is much better and more useful than to feed the baby with dry mixture diluted “by eye”. Moreover, not every mother uses required boiled water. And how much harmful can be water from the tap, we keep silent.

Delusion N5: “adult” products can be used

Curds or yogurt, parents must eat these themselves – for them it will be much more useful than for their child. For children are invented and developed their own, children yoghurt, cheese, cream and juice. And they are all sold under the brand name familiar to us “Agusha”.

From six months children need an additional source of protein, calcium and phosphorus. Thanks to the latest technologies, “Agusha” contains basically the valuable whey proteins, rather than crude casein, as in “adult” curd, which is poorly digested in the stomach of the child.

From eight months to the diet can be added no less useful for children yogurt “Agusha”. Children yogurt is enriched with vitamins and minerals. It also adds natural fruit and berry fillings.

Fruit juices can be added to babies diet from three months. They are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and their range is also very diverse.

In ancient Rome there was a custom to begin each meal with eggs, and it was so widespread that the phrase “from egg” has acquired a new meaning; it became a proverb with meaning “to start something again.”
So, it’s very good to start your day with eggs. You may say – every day an egg – hard boiled, scrambled, fried, finally – it is monotonous and boring. But let us remember the following: an egg contains 6 grams protein, 15 g fat, 85 mg phosphorus, 25 mg calcium, 1, 2 mg iron, as well as a set of valuable vitamins.
For example – one egg contains a fifth of the daily human need for vitamin A. Egg-white has a high value. Two eggs satisfy a significant part of the daily protein requirements. But that’s not all. The most unique piece of egg is an egg shell, which composition strikingly coincides with the composition of bones and teeth of man. Moreover, it stimulates red blood cells, which are especially valuable after radiation injury.
Hungarian Medical Research showed that the shell contains everything necessary for the organism micronutrients, including copper, fluoride, iron, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, zinc, etc – about 27 elements!
But especially I’d like to mention calcium. As you know, its lack, especially in the bones, is one of the most common metabolics today. As a result – rickets and incorrect growth of teeth among children, the curvature of the spine, bad teeth, brittle bones among adults.
The disorder of ring exchange is often accompanied by anemia, susceptibility to colds, allergies, herpes on the lips,lowering resistance to the action of radiation. In women, this list is complementary to various aches and weakness when giving birth, agony of uterus muscles. But they especially feel the lack of calcium during pregnancy. How many women have lost their teeth, while breastfeeding their child!
The drugs – calcium chloride, gypsum, chalk – are ineffective because they are poorly digested by the body. But the egg shell by 90 per cent consists of calcium carbonate, which is easily digested. So the conclusion arises: to try to make the shell of medical product. However, in pharmacies of western countries the powder of egg shell has been sold since 1970.
Meanwhile, the recipe is simple. Fresh chicken eggs should be pre-washed with warm soapy water, thoroughly rinsed. In most cases, the shell does not require additional sterilization. However, for young children they must be put for 5 minutes in boiling water. Next, carefully remove the lining of the film and dry a little, removing a dark ventilated place. Usually within a few hours it is well dried.
Now you need to crush in a porcelain bowl making it powder. It is noticed that when using the grinder or metal utensils; it is less active.
A child from 6 months to a year should use a dose of powder; that is, with the tip of a knife, from one year to two years – twice as much. By 5.7 years you can give your child half of the shell of one egg, and child over 14 years (as well as adults), not more than one.
It’s very important to note that before you give a child this powder, add a few drops of lemon juice. Lemon juice makes an instant chemical reaction – you can hear the characteristic hissing. As the shell contains calcium salts, lemon juice helps to turn them into a form that is well absorbed by the body.
The use of this drug is shown primarily in the skin lesions on the type of eczema, which is observed among many children affected by exidative diathesis. I want to warn: the effect appears not earlier than 3-4 weeks, but sometimes takes two or three months. So be patient.
The parents very often ask this question: when to take this powder – on an empty stomach or after meal? In this case it does not matter. It is possible to add it to food.
Egg shell has a positive effect in rickets and anemia. It helps to enhance hematopoiesis in bone tissue, accelerates healing in orthopedic disorders such as congenital hip dislocation, osteoporosis (softening of bones). Both children and adults should use egg shell powder in order to avoid having brittle nails and hair, bleeding gums, constipation, irritability, insomnia, hay fever, asthma, urticaria.

The shell is used in all cases when a lack of calcium in the body is noticed, as well as for prophylactic treatment:
- In pregnancy;
- Children from 1 year to 6 years;
- Preferably in adolescence and early adulthood (up to 19-20 years);
- Prophylactically twice a year egg shell powder treatment is useful for adults to prevent diseases of the spine, tooth decay, osteoporosis;
- As a means of deducing radionuclides in ground contaminated with strontium-90 (using 2 to 6 grams a day);
- Receiving the powder from the shell is especially useful in the beginning of the year, when the calcium metabolism slows down.

Each stage of the child’s development has its own peculiarities. In the first six months of life are developed their reflexes and skills. At this time the child should motor activity. The development of muscles, coordination of movements, skills form the foundation for the intellectual leap into the future.
Newborn baby can not play in a meaningful way yet. All its actions with rattles are spontaneous, but it does not mean that toys should be postponed “until better times.” You can start exercising with a baby since the first days of his life. It’s important to keep in mind that children from birth to six months develop very quickly. How to deal with a baby from birth to six months we will tell you now.

From 0 to 2 months
In order to develop movements, the child will not need plastic rattles. Sew some balls from fabric scraps of different textures (knitted, flannel, silk, wool). The size of these balls should be small.

You can fill the ball with synthetic padding, foam rubber and wool threads. The details should be well secured.

Games with rattles in the period up to two months should not be frequent and active. It’s enough to show them.

From 2 to 4 months
During this period child’s feelings, emotions and will are fused together. His/her perception of the world is based on the collective image of who appears before him/her. That is why the baby likes to allocate from an object a toy, mother and brother.

At this time, a great toy for the baby may become even an ordinary handkerchief!
For the development of hearing, vision, tactile sensations you can play hide and seek with your child. This game also helps him/her to distinguish himself/herself from the surrounding (mother, father).

Put a sheet onto the floor, put on it the child, and lie nearby. For a while talk with the child. Then show him/her the handkerchief and cover your face with it saying: “Cuckoo! Where are you?” Remove the handkerchief from your face and cheerfully say:” Oh, and here you are!” Touch the baby so that he/she realized that you talk to him/her. After a few days, you can change the rules of the game. Cover his/her face with a handkerchief, and then rapidly rejoice that he/she is “found”. Do not forget to hug and kiss the baby at this moment!

Another useful toy for 2-4-month-old kids is a ball. Put your baby on his/her stomach, lie nearby. Put the toy in front of him/her, and then roll the ball. Your task is to encourage the baby to make a simple action. The child sooner or later will try to get the ball with hands. Help him/her: creating a support for his/her legs with your arm. This game develops the baby’s neck.

From 4 to 6 months
At this age, coordination of movements is actively developing. Emotional and psychological relationship with their parents is also formed at this period. Finally – the time has come for active use of rattles and rubber toys! And you can play with them in the following way:

Put the colorful toys of different sizes in a box. In advance, make sure that there were no items that baby can insert into the nose or ear, swallow.

Sit on the floor with the child. Shake the box in front of him/her. After the child starts showing interest to it, ask him/her to look inside. Most likely, the kid tries to get the toys out of the box. Help him/her along the way telling what kind of object it is, what color and shape it has, etc. When all the toys will be outside, begin to collect them back.

For convenience, keep a notebook of observations. You can record all changes with the child. These records will help you in studies. Let your baby grows clever and healthy!

Now you can rarely meet young parents who, because of superstition, do not buy any items before the birth of a baby. Practice shows that it is better to buy everything in advance, than rush to the shops, pharmacies in search of the necessary.
So what you need to buy for your future crumbs? Before you make a list of things for a newborn you need to answer the following questions:
Where will your baby sleep: with you or separately?
If you are against co-sleeping, one of the first items on the checklist will be a cot. This contains the following:
Mattress;
linens – sheets, pillowcases and duvet cover. It is better to prepare three sets in case one is in the laundry, one – wearing, and the latter will remain on the safe side;
blankets – one shelter, the second wrap at home and on the walk;
large size oilskin;
pillow – newborn doesn’t need it. Instead, put a folded diaper. You can buy a special pillow for a stroller with an indentation for the head. In any case, you can use it not earlier than three months.

Do you plan to use diapers?

I think that this is one of the main important things for the baby. Even if you are opposed to diapers, you may need them in situations where they are simply indispensable. For example, you will not make it in time to wash soiled nappies. When my son was born, I had to change diapers at night every half an hour. After a sleepless week, I realized that the diaper at night is my salvation. We will not argue about the benefits and harms of diapers, let everyone decide for herself.
Someone has to wash 20-30 diapers a day, someone will be convenient to use disposable diapers for a walk, not to disguise the baby on the street.

If you choose the option without the use of diapers, there is a counter-question: Will you swaddle a newborn or just dress him/her in sliders?

Previously, children in compulsory were swaddled up to 2-3 months, but now many babies are dressed in shirts with the sliders. I think it is difficult to decide which option is better. Even if you do not want to swaddle the baby, you can put it under the child, when he/she lies on the changing table, in a stroller, on your bed or sofa.

At what time of year your baby is born?

In the cold season, the portfolio is slightly different (warm jackets, pants, hats).

Clothing:

1) diapers – On average (again, it all depends on the season, from that, will you wash them once or twice a day) you will need 10-15 warm diapers, 10-15 thin and a minimum 20 gauze diapers.
2) vests, shirts – 4 thin, 4 warm. The first one will be comfortable with the closed-sleeved vests for baby not to scratch itself. You might also like T-shirts. They should be fitted with clasp at the shoulder.
3) Romper – 4-6 thin and thick. It’s better to choose the model, fastened on the shoulders with two levels of buttons.
4) cap, hat – I bought 3 cap. When my son was born, I was surprised how quickly they became small. In the first month of each week I had to change the cap. So prepare 2-3 caps of several sizes. Depending on the time of year take warm or thin cap for a walk.
5) socks – a pair of warm and a pair of thin socks will be enough.
6) panties – In summer kids will feel comfortable wearing panties, putting them in gauze diapers. In general, newborns should not use clothing with elastic bands on the tummy, but the 2.3 month kids conveniently record gauze diaper with pants.
8), blouse, pants – thin for summer, warm for winter.
9) bib

Medicine chest:

1) Thermometer – for water.
2) Cotton wool, cotton sticks – to clean the nose and ears.
3) Baby wipes – they are convenient to use during a walk and a visit.
4) Febrifuge – will help not only in the event of illness, but after vaccination, if the temperature of newborns rises. It is better to use this medicine in the form of candles.
5) Medicine from colic, gas formation – Up to three months, babies are often plagued by gas, colic and cramps. Most moms use “Espumizan”, “smectic” or simply dill water.
6) Permanganic acid, hydrogen peroxide, – potassium permanganate is added to water for bathing, and peroxide is applied to navel of the newborn.
7) Baby oil – They are used during the massage.
Pipette

Other accessories:

1) Oilcloth – One big – in bed, a smaller one – in the stroller and changing table.
2) Bottle, brush – for washing.
3) Pacifier – And here opinions vary: someone flatly refuses to teach the crumbs to the nipple, someone successfully uses it to soothe a crying baby and put to bed. In any case, one nipple will not be difficult to buy.
4) Bathroom accessories – bath and towels. You can buy a small tub; you can bathe in a regular bath, with less water. From a small bath baby will grow quickly. But its advantages are that the child can swim in the children’s room, next to the changing table. It is better to have a large towel for swimming (120×120).
5) Baby soap – for bathing.

When choosing clothes try to buy the ones made of natural fabrics. Coveralls, t-shirts and blouses are better to be a little bit larger.

You can buy a changing table, and can turn the usual coffee table into a changing table, covering it with an old blanket and oilcloth.

Here is a sample list of things for a newborn. It can be changed depending on your viewpoints. Someone prefers T-shirts, some diapers and vest, someone will actively use children’s cosmetics, soap and baby oil. In any case, the main choice is yours. We wish you and your future baby health!

Nowadays there are many proposals. But in this article you can find all the necessary information. You can of course concede the principle “better, brighter, more expensive.” But this is not always true. Price and size of toys is not an indicator of its quality and benefit to the child.

When choosing a toy for a 2-year-old child, you must remember that in this age all the senses continue to develop. This means that a child should have a variety of toys. If you buy a toy to your child – you should not buy what he/she already has. That is, there is no need to create a “collection” of cars, dolls, horses, etc. If you are going to make a gift not for your baby, try to find out what toys he has. Remember that at this age the child is already beginning to show independence and he/she will be anxious to manipulate the gift toy himself/herself. For example, take off the shoes of the doll or carry something on truck.

At this age the child’s speech is formed, ie word-stock. As you know, the development of small hand movements has a big impact on this. This can be a manipulation of fingers with small and medium-sized objects. For example: doing and undoing zippers, lacing, stringing together different forms and sizes of beads, etc.
Now there are very beautiful wooden toys, lacing, which can serve as a useful gift. In addition, there are toys on thestickers.
After all this, you child learns names of body parts, and puts clothing on them correctly. A very attractive gift can be a doll house. There are enough choices with the sound and light accompaniment. The child will be happy to play with tiny chairs, feed them from toy dishes, and watch with them from a tiny window.

A good gift for a child can be a set for modeling. Now they are made from plant materials that do not stick to hands and clothes, thus not creating unnecessary problems for parents. Modeling allows the child to develop imagination, color perception. In addition, a gift can be a set of finger paints. If you are going to introduce your child to paint for the first time, do not forget to buy cloth and a special apron for a child, as well as a drawing paper. Surely your artist wants to see how the print on hands will look like on clothes. Painting has a positive influence on the mood of the child, helps in the perception of color.
Do not forget to praise the child for his/her drawing. The first experience in drawing is the key to all creative activities of the child.

For the development of the imagination a good gift can be a special set of braces blowing soap bubbles – a very interesting thing, especially important for summer. The game will gather a lot of children around you.

A useful gift can be a doll. Of course, if it is properly selected, ie taking into account the age and capabilities of the child. I have already talked about that all details should be easily removed. 2-year-old children like a medium sized doll, which can be taken into the bathroom, easily put to sleep (better if the eyes are closed), which has a pleasant appearance. With the help of a doll baby learns to express his/her emotions. Help him/her to play with it. Show how the doll cries, laughs, is angry, delighted. By the way, psychologists say that learning to play with dolls is not only for girls but also for boys. For a boy you can buy a doll-boy. You can simply put in a conspicuous place and say that Sam (give the name to the doll) will be your friend. And, you’ll see, your baby will definitely share with it his secrets.

Doll-gloves (ie, a puppet theater) can also be a perfect gift. The child can put his/her into the hands of the hero and play together – be brave or cowardly, happy or sad. The experience of these feelings helps to correct psychological development of children. Through these toys child can share his/her fears with an adult, get rid of negative emotions.

And, finally, the beloved soft toys come. Corresponding to age, they are different. With the help of soft toys we show the child kindness towards others.
Dear Parents, remember, please, that the best gift for your child will still remain your attention, love and care. Give children your time playing with them with these toys!
