What to give a girl for 2 years?

When a person chooses a birthday present for his loved one, he wants to not only please him with his attention, but also to give something truly useful and necessary. As a rule, he represents what a particular relative or friend would like. If the recipient of the gift is a two-year-old baby, then the presentation options become much more. They will be discussed in this article.

Before you start a conversation about what is useful to a girl at 2 years old, you should familiarize yourself with the features of this age.

Two year old child:

• completes the development of the pot;
• collects toys, for example, a pyramid or nesting doll;
• learning to draw;
• learns to recognize colors;
• begins to play the “mother-daughter” game with dolls: dresses them, feeds them, cradles them;
• builds houses from cubes;
• can load something with a typewriter and carry it;
• Learning to eat on their own;
• Learns to dress independently.

As you can see, two years of age is the time to master many skills, so the toy should not only be bright and beautiful, but also bear some practical benefit, teach something. So, you should choose a baby gift based on just such considerations.

There are cases and there are many of them when relatives gave the baby a toy that was too complicated for his age, for example, a prefabricated railway, an interactive doll with many functions, a tricky board game. The child could not figure it out on his own and lost interest in her.As a result, the toy was either removed “until better times”, or redistributed, or the parents played it themselves.

Parents, as a rule, know the personal characteristics of their child better than others, because it will be a mistake to think that all children at this age are similar to each other and are carried away by the same thing. Of course, they have common features and hobbies inherent in sex and age, but someone likes to draw more, and someone likes to sculpt; some girls enjoy playing in “kindergarten”, “mother-daughter” or “beauty salon”, while others build houses, ride cars, put puzzles.

However, the development of the child should be comprehensive, therefore, even if the parents see that the baby is crazy about drawing, you should not give her gifts only in this area. It’s better to buy her a book in which you can not only colorize the pictures, but also read a fascinating story, get to know the characters. It is also worthwhile to offer her to mold these heroes or buy soft toys similar to them.

You can play a scene from a book with your daughter. After some time, parents will see that the baby herself will begin to come up with new stories and fantastic characters, and then embody them through modeling and drawing.

Below is a list of the most useful educational toys for two years old.

• Constructor. It is advisable to present something similar to “Lego”, so that there are large bright blocks from which the baby could build not only a house for her beloved doll, but also a garage for a car, a boat, a turret and much more.
• Dough or kinetic sand for modeling. Do not give plasticine to a baby at this age - the fact is that at 2 years, the child’s hands are still too weak and will not be able to properly stretch a solid plasticine mass. A special dough for modeling, like kinetic sand, has a soft, pliable structure, it is nice to knead it in the hands, which, by the way, is very useful for the development of motor skills.
• Cubes. You can buy ordinary wood or, for example, with images of animals, fruits, household items, in order to learn to remember their names during the game. Cubes with letters and numbers will also be useful.
• Ball. Everyone likes to play the ball - both girls and boys. You can take it outside and have fun with your peers or parents. And if there is a dog at home, then she will not mind playing a ball with a young mistress.
• A set of children's dishes and products. The baby, looking at how mom cooks dinner, will want to try to do it herself. But it is still too small to be allowed to reach the stove or to trust a sharp kitchen knife for cutting food. In this case, a toy set will come to the rescue, which includes pots, plates and mugs with spoons - all that is needed for a little cook. The hostess herself will be able to "cook" a hearty dinner and invite her mother and father. However, in this case, it is important to ensure that the kit does not contain too small elements that the child could inhale or swallow.
• Books. Here there are a great many options: from simple coloring books to colorful anthologies of fairy tales. You can also give a cognitive encyclopedia about dinosaurs or other animals - this will allow the baby to significantly expand her horizons.
• Wooden "labyrinths" for the development of fine motor skills. The child moves bright wooden figures along the wire frame, thereby developing finger motility. "Labyrinth" is more of a toy simulator than entertainment.
• Pyramid, matryoshka and other similar toys, where you need to put a ring or other geometric figure on the column or insert a smaller figure into a larger one. One of the variations of the learning pyramid is a plate with three columns, on one of which you need to string red rings, on the other - yellow, on the third - green. This variant of the pyramid can also be found: on one column - squares, on the second - triangles, on the third - circles.
• Table games. Boards are very popular now, in which figures should be inserted along the cut out contours. There are thematic games - "pets", "fruits", "transport" and other variations.
• Dolls. For two years of age, the best doll will be a baby doll, which you can bathe, feed, swaddle, lull. Barbie, Bratz and other "adult" dolls are still difficult for the baby to perceive - she simply won’t know how to play with them correctly. In addition, such dolls often have small parts or accessories that a small child can choke on.
• Sets "zoo", "farm", "dinosaurs", "insects" and others. They carry both a game and a learning function. You can tell your daughter about each character: what he can do, what sounds he makes, what he eats, what his children are called. The child will be able to invent stories with these heroes and play them.
• All for drawing: albums, paints, crayons, wax pencils. Through the drawing, the baby will be able to open her inner world, realize fantasies. You just need to remember that you should choose safe products that do not contain toxic substances. Ordinary honey watercolor is ideal. It is best to give pencils from wax - they are not as sharp as wooden, do not require sharpening, while they are very bright, and drawing with them is a pleasure.
• Puzzles. The best options from this category are wooden, with bright large fragments. One of the interesting options is a puzzle of the type “Dress Fashionista”. It has a set of clothes and a doll on which these clothes need to be fixed. This game resembles dressing paper dolls.
• Transport. Contrary to opinion, the game “in cars” is not the prerogative of the boys. Some girls are happy to ride their toy friends, carry "loads" in the back. If the parents noticed that the daughter is such a “car enthusiast”, then it’s better to give her a truck with a folding body or a convertible so that you can roll dolls and animals.

Another option for such a gift is transport for the birthday girl herself: sledges, scooters, tricycles.

Godparents - this is the "second family" for the baby, for this reason they are chosen especially carefully, trusting only the closest people. Naturally, they want to please their little goddaughter with something unusual. Below are some gift ideas for goddaughter.

• Set of a young doctor. Such a present is not just paraphernalia for the game “to the hospital”, because when “nursing” toy animals, dolls, the child learns to care and compassion. Therefore, such a set will be a very useful gift.
• Educational tablet or smartphone. This attribute is a novelty in recent years. It is inexpensive and has several functions: it reproduces animal sounds when you click on the corresponding image, sings children's songs, tells poems and fairy tales.
• Set "Shop". Such a gift will really please a young lady. The set has a cash register, toy money, a basket of goods. This set is good in that you can play the “store” alone, as well as with peers and relatives.
• Toy household appliances, furniture. The child will happily furnish the dollhouse or just a corner in the apartment, “invite” the dolls, animals, and cook for them to eat. In this case, communication skills, socialization are formed.

Grandparents always associate in babies with something kind, warm, understanding, therefore, a gift from them in the name day should be appropriate.

• Colorful book with stickers. These can be characters of your favorite cartoon, animals, dinosaurs, insects and other images. Stickers must be pasted in a certain order (along the contours), which also forms attentiveness.
• Kigurumi pajamas. Even some adults are delighted with these colorful thematic pajamas - what can we say about children. A cute pajamas in the form of a panda, a kitten or a dragon will really like a two-year-old baby, therefore, she will be happy to sleep in it.
• Luminous sneakers. Some children begin to act up when they are dressed for a walk. But to put on bright sneakers, on the sole of which a light flashes at every step, not a single fashionista will refuse. Every walk for her will be a joy.

The little daughter of a sister or brother always causes special emotion. Naturally, I want to please my niece with something special, especially on such a significant day.

• Beautiful dress and shoes. The little princess needs a “royal” outfit. To do this, you need to learn from her parents the height and length of the foot, and then pick up the festive “ensemble”. And let the baby put it on just a couple of times in her life (after all, the children grow up quickly), but she can feel like a princess from her favorite fairy tale and remember that her beloved uncle or aunt gave her this tale.
• Diadem. This can be a complement to the previous version, or a completely independent gift. The baby will be able to wear it not only for games, but also for a walk. Some guys even go to kindergarten with her.
• Children's cosmetics. You can please your niece with a set of children's hypoallergenic cosmetics. Such a set, as a rule, includes toilet water, hygienic lipstick (sometimes mother-of-pearl), nail polish. It is better to complete the present with beautiful hair clips, rubber bands, and a bright comb.
• Magnetic slate board. Such a gift is one of the useful ones. On the magnetic side, you can attach letters, numbers, learn to make words and solve examples, and on the slate side it is very convenient to draw with crayons.

Of course, you should not indulge every whim of your beloved child, but you can’t limit it in everything, because the main thing in the gift is attention and its relevance.
