"Baby, what do you think dad bought you? The great dinosaur paradise has all kinds of dinosaurs. Can we play together? " Doudou's father came home from a business trip, took out a big toy box and said happily to Doudou.

"Dad, our peas are only two months old. How can he play with such a big toy box? You see, the toys at home have been piled up in the room, but there are not many suitable for the baby to play at this stage. Don't buy it indiscriminately. " Mom Doudou said a little angrily. Doudou's father said unjustly, "I didn't have any toys when I was a child." Now, of course, I want to buy more toys for my baby. Toys can promote children's intellectual development. So why not? "

Many parents around us think that toys can promote children's intelligence. Of course, the more the better. Besides, I had few toys when I was a child. Now I will try my best to make up for my children. However, some parents don't know much about the functions of toys, and they are prone to make mistakes when choosing them.

The toy is too simple, the play is too simple, and the baby may have no sense of accomplishment; If the toy is too difficult, the baby's current ability can't be reached, and it is easy to be frustrated and lose interest. Therefore, choose toys according to the baby's age.

So, what toys should you choose at what age? This is a problem for many parents, especially the parents of small-month-old babies. They are always worried about "what toys should the baby play with so young?" Don't worry, the bookworm mother has compiled a detailed information on how babies aged 0~3 choose toys for parents' reference.

Choice of toys of different ages

Mom and dad should know that each child's brain development level, age and concentration level are different. Therefore, when choosing specific toys for children, we should also choose suitable toys according to the development characteristics of children in different months. The early education teacher suggested that parents can choose toys suitable for their babies according to several age stages, so that the more they play, the smarter they become.

Baby is born ~3 months:

At this stage, the baby's hearing and vision begin to concentrate, and he can look at colorful toys for a short time. When he is 3 months old, he will wave his arms and touch toys.

At this time, parents can provide their babies with toys that can develop audio-visual sense, cultivate attention and exercise all over the body. Parents can use toys with larger size, bright colors and dazzling colors or sounds when teasing their babies, such as blow-molded dolls, colored plastic balls, bells, rings with bells, pinching toys, small mirrors and plastic animals.

Baby 4~6 months:

At this stage, the baby's eyes can follow the moving toys and walking people, and he has a directional response to the sound. The movement of his hands has changed from having no goal and direction to learning to grasp and hang toys, and his hands will consciously play with toys and turn over to reach them. Babies spend all their waking hours watching, listening, scratching and waving.

At this time, parents can provide bright-colored and noisy hard plastic toys for their babies, which can be shaken in their hands and make noise, and they can move or partially move. For example: animal bell, bell, music box, rotating toy, music turntable, toy with music playing, wind-up power toy, etc.

Baby 7~9 months:

At this stage, the baby can sit alone and learn to crawl. He can grasp things, shake and beat toys with his hands and eyes.

At this time, parents can provide their babies with bells, building blocks, dolls, bowls, drums, bells, pianos and other toys. At the same time, at this stage, in order to train the baby to crawl, mothers can choose some movable toys, such as plastic balls, rubber balls and sports toy cars, to attract the baby to crawl behind the ball or car.

Baby 10~ 12 months:

At this stage, the baby can crawl, stand and learn to walk skillfully.

At this time, parents can provide their baby with some noisy electric toys, such as carts, drag toys, balls, animals and cars that can be started, as well as toys that can train children's fingers, such as small animal toys, dolls, cloth books, building blocks, small rings, cups, baskets and various plastic toys.

Baby 1~2 years old:

At this stage, the baby's physical strength and intelligence are further developed, and he likes to imitate the life and movements of adults. After children learn to walk, their range of activities increases and their ability to imitate life increases.

At this time, parents can provide their babies with more toys, such as small baskets, shovels, small furniture, tableware, small buckets and other toys that can play with sand and water, complete sets of house toys, imitation fruits, vegetables, small mobile phones and so on. At the same time, you can also provide some toys for your baby to take outdoors, such as moving cars and big balls.

2~3 years old baby:

At this stage, babies begin to learn some basic concepts, such as size and shape, and their hands are more flexible than before.

At this time, parents can provide their baby with some simple mosaic building blocks, simple figures inlaid with soft plastic, perforated cartons of various shapes, beads, simple puzzles, dolls that can take off their clothes and shoes, traffic and water conservancy toys, etc. This will enable children to learn to recognize concepts such as color and shape, and expand the scope of knowledge. At the same time, mothers can also prepare small tricycles for their children to exercise their coordination ability.
