Christmas is approaching and we are looking for the most suitable toy for children, according to their age, and of course, the one we know that will make them more excited. But we do not want that in less than 24 hours the toy will end up parked in a corner or forgotten at the bottom of the toy chest.
Therefore if you are tired of toys that last one day and you are looking for something more enduring, we suggest 13 gifts for children with no expiration date with which children will love to play.
Bicycle, scooter, skates or tricycle
Ideal to encourage the practice of outdoor activities, and that if you propose, children can use them a lot. If possible to make daily trips such as going to school or at least for family walks on weekends.
But of course, if you buy the skates and do not take the children to skate, hardly use them, but not because they do not want to. The skates last less for a matter of foot growth, but a bike can last three or four years perfectly.
Block games
One of the toys my daughters have used the most throughout their childhood. Moreover, we have had to renew them a couple of times because with three girls you will tell me ... And they are still playing with them, especially the smallest, the six.
Construction toys have great benefits for children. Buy some appropriate to the child's age, but with the possibility of go adding new as it grows. The range of Lego is ideal, they already have everything designed to evolve with the child.
In Babies and more Blocks are still the best gift you can buy for a child for ChristmasBalls
An infallible in the childhood of our children with whom they will spend hours and hours playing. They can have hundreds of toys but A ball is always a guarantee of fun. In addition, just like the bike, it encourages the practice of outdoor sports: football, basketball, volleyball… everything goes!
Kitchens
They may not play every day, but if you have a kitchenette at home or decide to make one yourself, it is great entertainment for the little ones. It fosters the symbolic game, the quintessential children's game in which the little ones imitate situations that they see in real life, and introduces them to the fantastic world of fire pits, although without fire, of course.
They prepare meals, do experiments, organize the pots. My daughters have spent many hours "cooking."
Puzzles
Something that is never missing at home because I love them and I have infected my daughters are the puzzles. They promote concentration, exercise visual memory and there are them for all ages, depending on the stage of development of the child.
They can be assembled again and again and form a beautiful collection. Of course, you have to be very careful when saving them so you don't miss any parts.
Costumes
A gift that surely does not fail. What kid doesn't like to play a superhero, a princess, a cop, a cowboy, etc.? Costumes motivate kids to live all kinds of adventures, fantastic stories that transport you to an imaginary world. In the end, childhood consists in that, in having fun without limits.
In Babies and more, what to give to children for Christmas? Follow the four gift ruleModeling clay or modeling dough
Other Basic Stable Cast Toy at home. The "plasti" has made my daughters spend long hours of fun, and still does, unfortunately for some of my furniture.
If they are of good quality (the best ones, without a doubt the Play Doh) and after using them they are stored in the boats with the lid tightly closed, they do not dry out and can last a long time.
Playing with modeling clay has great benefits for the development of children. They stimulate creativity and manual skills contributing to the development of motor skills. There are toys with parts and accessories so that children can create meals, shapes ... even one year we had a Nativity scene made with modeling clay.
Books
The books They are a perfect gift If you don't want to give away toys We already know how beneficial reading is for children, and not only from an intellectual point of view, but also as an enjoyment. Reading is an adventure. Here we leave you the 25 essential classics for the little ones.
Giving books helps them begin to love reading since they are little.
Table games
The truth is that there are some who feel sorry, and honestly I do not see the fun, but also there are very interesting board games that can last for many years. Even my daughters use a Scrabble (that of the little letters) that was mine and my sister when we were little.
Among some of the good reasons to use board games we find that they are very fun and something very important, that encourage family play.
Like the puzzles, you have to keep them very well to avoid loss of pieces, cards, dice, etc., that if they disappear, the game is meaningless.
Craft Kit
For the little ones, rather than a toy, give items that encourage creativity. Paints, brushes, papers, markers, canvases ... There are children who are much more excited about a box full of colored pencils than a toy. My youngest daughter, for example, her eyes shine.
Toys
There are dolls and dolls that can last for many years and become the children's favorite toy. Who does not remember a doll that he loved in childhood? I still remember one, I had nothing beautiful, but I had a very special affection.
I'm not in favor of having a dozen babies, stuffed animals and dolls, but it's a precious gift that encourages giving love and care to others, and what if there is feeling It will be with you for a long time.
Photo camera
I think it's a great gift to start kids in the art of photography. Of course it depends on the age of the child, I would say that from 8-9 years, there are some quite affordable. I think it is something nice, useful and durable if you know how to take care of it.
Tablets and smartphones
Not all parents are supporters of tablets and smartphones before a certain age, but it is a gift that they will surely use often and will benefit you a lot. Of course, you should always monitor both the time they are in front of the screen and the use they make of them.
