What to give a one and a half year old child?

A gift for a child at any age is not an easy task, especially if the baby does not yet speak and cannot express his wish. If a boy or a year and a half is one of the most difficult periods, since the child is already big and has his own desires, but he does not know how to voice them too much. It is good when parents or relatives know the preferences of a small person, but it happens that you are invited to visit, where there are completely unfamiliar boy and girl. In this case, giving a present to a child is as difficult as completing a quest.

Of course, it is very important to focus on age, the interests of the baby in 1.5 years. Thanks to this, there are general tips for choosing a gift for a one and a half year old boy or girl.

• Do not put off the purchase of a present in a long box. Believe me, if you think over this question in advance, save yourself from buying the first nonsense that comes across.
• Ask the parents or the child if possible. Older children write letters to Santa Claus and order gifts, but one and a half is from the realm of dreams.
• Remember about age and do not buy toys "for growth". Believe me, the kid only scatters the details of a complex constructor or puzzles.
• Gender at this age already matters, but unprincipled. You can give a girl a doll, a boy a typewriter, and vice versa.
• Hobby is more important, books, educational games, pyramids, a mosaic, a minx - a ball are suitable for an assiduous kid.
• Before buying sweets, check if the child has allergies and what sweets he is allowed to eat at home.
• At this age, the child still does not understand the meaning of the holiday too much, for him the good mood of the parents and the people around him is more important.
• Musical toys are a great choice at this age.
• Remember that curiosity is the main feature of kids, they are interested in everything that is new!
• Safety is still of paramount importance - don’t give away something containing small parts that you can put in your mouth and choke.
• Impressions are a good idea. Take your kid to a play for the smallest, ride a pony, take a walk in the park - it will be remembered more than any toy.
• The most practical and safe gift option at this age is a soft toy.
• When choosing clothes, be sure to ask mom for advice!
• You can already start drawing - finger paints, albums, pencils and felt-tip pens are very popular among children.
• For the New Year, be sure to dress up a Christmas tree! Just pick up toys that don't break.

Child psychologists are advised to adhere to certain rules that will protect against mistakes when choosing a gift for the baby.

• Adults are often judged as adults. And this makes them make the main adult mistake - to buy the practical, instead of the joyful. Of course, autumn boots are very important, but they are not presented for a birthday or New Year. This should be what pleases the baby. Magic and fairy tales are very important for children, do not deprive them of this happiness as adult practice.
• Educational toys. This is a stumbling block for many adults, however, if the toy is matched by age, even if the baby is still a little older, it is always relevant and good. This does not have to be a complex constructor. Sorter, mosaic, wooden puzzles, a house for dolls, a set for drawing or modeling - all these are educational toys, and they must be presented.
• An expensive gift is not bad at all, if parents have the opportunity, and the baby dreams of an expensive toy.
• Disappointment. No parent or adult can be insured against this, no need to do tragedy if the child did not like the gift.

When parents think about a gift for a baby, often they think from a practical point of view and consider clothes and shoes in this quality. If we are talking about parents, then everything is simple, otherwise the risk is very high to miss the size. There is no way to do without parental advice. If mom agrees to such a development of events, give her a certificate at the children's supermarket, or go to the store with them. Practical gifts such as:

• linens;
• set of baby towels;
• dishes for children;
• silver cutlery with engraving.

Another win-win option - a certificate for a photo shoot with a child photographer. Parents will definitely appreciate this gift option. Moreover, not every family can allocate a rather serious amount from the budget for this expense item.

If you want to give a gift to the child himself, a completely different approach is needed. At this age, the baby already understands that there is an amazing world around him, full of surprises. Therefore, the emotions of the gift is a doable task. This is a good age for learning social skills, so the following options are great:

• dollware;
• a basket with a variety of items - vegetables, fruits, goods like a supermarket;
• a toy knife and objects that can be cut with it;
• professional sets of a doctor, hairdresser, plumber, cook.

If the baby does not yet show interest in them, choose universal ones:

• books for swimming;
• pyramids;
• sorters;
• toys that start;
• musical instruments - guitars and balalaikas, pipes, drums;
• simple puzzles;
• designers for babies;
• cubes;
• Railway;
• dolls;
• cars;
• mosaic;
• games with lacing.

Remember that children are individual, each of them develops according to its own scenario. Choosing a gift, you need to consider this. On the other hand, even if you hurry up a bit with the present, the baby will certainly grow up to it soon and will definitely appreciate it. The main thing is to pay attention to the quality of the toy - the materials must be safe.
