What to give the child for six months?

Before reaching the age of one year, most parents celebrate each past month. And the semi-annual milestone is celebrated by absolutely everyone. As a rule, this happens in a rather narrow circle. Close relatives and godparents are usually invited. 5-6 people are enough, since a large number of strangers can scare the baby. The main problem for invitees is to choose a gift.

If the gift is intended for a godson, nephew or younger brother, it is better to opt for a toy. All accessories for six months must meet certain requirements:

• availability of quality certificates for all materials;
• smooth and smooth edges;
• hygiene and the possibility of multiple washing, as children at this age pull many things in their mouths;
• lack of small, loose parts;
• reliable battery protection.

Consider what gifts you can give a six-month-old boy.

• The ball is a universal gift. At first it can be thrown and rolled, and then - tossed and transferred to another. There can be several balls - small or large, elastic or soft, smooth or with massage pimples. For kids, an important parameter of toys is weight - the toy should be light.

• Cubes are soft or hard. To begin with, the baby will put them on top of each other, and then build walls or towers from them. They will be useful at an older age - for the construction of fortresses or roads. From the drawings on them you can learn colors, letters or numbers. Watch the quality of the material - the cubes must be stable.

• The pyramids. They can be completely different in their design - in the form of rings that are worn on a stick, or mounted on top of each other molds. By setting the details, the baby will develop agility and coordination.

• Knockers. With this game, a child learns to hit balls. At this age, he will be interested in individual hammers with tweeters.

• A small game center. For development, you need toys with buttons, switches and levers. Each action will be accompanied by funny sounds and flashing colored lights. Such a toy can quickly distract the crumbs, if he is naughty.

In addition to toys, little boys are often given clothes. But in this case it is very difficult to guess with the size. If in doubt - it is better to take a larger size. At the age of six months, boys already have almost the entire adult assortment of clothes - from jeans to stylish shirts and sweaters.

Toys for girls and boys in their first year of life are practically the same. Rather, this issue will worry adults more. Accessories for girls are full of shades of pink and purple, and you can also find the corresponding pictures on them. For a gift, simple, but bright objects are suitable.

• Tumbler - a kind of first doll. Children like it because of the unusual movements and sounds that it makes. Will encourage the child to reach out and move toward her.

• Yula - It can be simple or multi-level (with figures moving inside). First, the yule will entertain the baby. And a little later, she herself will be able to master the launch of this mechanism.

• Toy interactive animals. They can move around the room, talk and execute commands. Such a robot is able to attract the attention of a child for a long time. When choosing, you need to evaluate the fragility of the toy, as the kids have poor control over their efforts. An ordinary toy in the form of an animal is also suitable; it can sing songs or tell tales after pressing a button.

• Pendants. Since the girl spends a lot of time in a stroller, crib or playpen, special toys made of textiles are hung from their sides. They can be grabbed and pulled, having fun with hidden rustling elements and vibration when returning back.

• Rattles. Depending on the level of development of the child, there are simpler or more complex models. In addition to parts that make noise, they can also have mobile elements in the form of figures. The main thing in rattles is a good handle, for which it will be convenient to hold it.

• Musical instruments. Already at 6 months the child can get acquainted with maracas, a tambourine or a drum. The real find will be a toy piano with large keys. It will be interesting if, in addition to the usual sounds, the piano will play short tunes or make animal voices.

• Air balloons - attractive to children of all ages. Since the baby can hold the rope only for a short time, it is better to tie them to a crib or stroller.

The choice of outfits for girls is much wider. For the first anniversary of the goddaughter or niece, you can give a beautiful dress. Dressings for hair are also relevant, even if they are very short. As a decoration for dressings use flowers from ribbons or figures made of plastic. In summer, beautiful panama hats or headscarves are suitable as a gift - even little girls like to dress up.

Parents know their child better, so they can choose the really necessary and useful things. Moreover, at 6 months, many children begin to sit and prepare to crawl. This stage of development of the child requires new accessories.

• Chair for babies. All children develop differently. Someone at this time only introduces complementary foods, someone is already actively mastering all new products. To facilitate this process, you need good furniture. Transformer models deserve special attention - they can be used for several years.

• Jumpers - An excellent adaptation for the baby to learn to rely on legs.

• Walkers. From six months you can use models-transformers with rocking function. At first you can swing in them, and after a couple of months - learn to walk.

• High chair. If the baby is sitting confidently, you can make swimming more informative and comfortable.

• Developing mat. It can be used almost from birth. But just from six months the mat is ideal in order to learn how to crawl - because there are so many interesting details in it and they must be studied. It can be beautiful drawings, keys of the built-in piano, convex details unusual to the touch, arcs with toys suspended from them.

• Fitball. If the child is slightly behind peers, strengthening exercises are needed. It’s easy and interesting to do exercises on these large inflatable balls, and then play with them.

• Night light. In order for the baby not to be afraid to sleep in his crib, night lighting is needed. It can be a very simple nightlight, or blinking in different colors. The most interesting are the projectors.

• Humidifier. By maintaining a certain level of humidity in the children's room, you can protect yourself from diseases. If this has already happened, a humidifier will contribute to a quick recovery.

And, of course, parents can give their son or daughter any number of entertaining and developing toys. And at the same time look after a basket or container for them. After all, soon there will be even more toys, and the question of their storage will become especially acute.

Grandparents approach the choice of gifts more consciously. After all, they can apply their experience and combine business with pleasure. A good gift will be a set of children's dishes - plates with dividers, a drinker, a fork, a spoon. Nice design and comfortable shape will help the child quickly learn how to use them on their own. In addition to cutlery, the baby will need beautiful bibs. And the supply of baby food will not be superfluous.

Bathing toys — rubber or plastic — will be useful. There are varieties with clockwork mechanisms that can move through water. Along with funny little animals, foams, gels and shampoos can be included in the bathing kit. Brighten your daily routine with a colorful print baby towel.

After six months, teeth usually begin to be actively cut. To facilitate this period will help high-quality teether. To distract the child, there should be several, so such a present will never be superfluous. If the teether is like toys, rattles and consists of different parts - it will surely please the baby.

Even a six-month crumb can be presented a book. An option made of plastic with voluminous flip pages is more suitable. Paper is better to postpone or give to parents. Even kids need to read fairy tales or poems.
