When the baby turns 1 year old, the very time comes when the child needs to be taught something, only one thing is asked: “How?”. In fact, everything is simple, you need to learn it - by playing! It is unlikely that the baby will refuse to play with you.

But at the same time, one cannot scold a child, much less punish or beat; pronounce the words correctly, do not distort them, because the child remembers exactly your pronunciation of words, and then you definitely will not need a speech therapist. And most importantly, do not try to force the child to play the game that he this moment do not like it, but on the contrary, adjust to his mood and wedge into his game, but play for the good of the cause. Even if you offer the kid to play the game that he always loves to play, but this time he categorically refuses to do it, it may be that he is tired of it and is no longer interesting. Considering all the listed nuances, you will definitely achieve the desired result.

Developing creative skills games for children from 1 year old

1. If you are somewhere in nature or in the country, you can put a large cardboard, approximately A1 size, on the ground or on the grass, and place a basin or any other suitable vessel nearby and dilute paints in this basin, then invite the child to stand with their feet in basin. Accordingly, the paints will be on their feet and resemble this cardboard, that is, draw with their feet. If it's summer - you can bare feet, if it's cold outside - you will need rubber boots. This game will be exciting not only for the child, but also for you.


2. Sculpt with a child from plasticine, of course, at this age the baby will not be able to mold something sensible, but this is normal. Sculpt and you, show what you can mold, give the finished figures to the child, let him look at them, play with them or take them apart. Help the child to mold, preferably with his hands, something elementary, for example: a ball, a cube or something like that. This procedure also helps to develop motor skills, which are very necessary for the child. Do not be afraid to get dirty, because plasticine stains can be removed even from clothes if you follow.


3. Draw with your baby with pencils, felt-tip pens, crayons, or all of these in turn, as you see fit. As in the previous game, do not expect your child to draw a masterpiece, at first it will be just "cartoons", the main thing is that the child has an interest in drawing and try to express something of his own in the "drawings". Take yourself a separate sheet for drawing and give a separate one to the baby. First, draw on your sheet, tell and show the baby everything that you draw, and at this time, numerous multi-colored lines will appear on the sheet of the baby. After that, try to draw something elementary with the child’s hand in his leaflet, he will quickly get tired of it. Ask him to help you, because you cannot cope with this on your own. As a rule, the child really wants to supplement your drawing with something of his own, so to speak, to put his final touch. If you draw with felt-tip pens, then this will contribute to the development of not only the creative abilities of the baby, but also the motor skills of the baby’s pens, because each felt-tip pen must be closed after drawing, that is, with a thin object to get into a fairly thin hole.


4. Color with your baby coloring pages, the rules are almost the same as with drawing, the only thing is that this is a more delicate work, where you can not go beyond the edges. After making the final touch to your baby, he will look at this colorful masterpiece with great pleasure, tell him everything that you painted, tell him what color you did it, ask the baby to show the colors that he already knows, maybe it will be just 1 or 2 colors. Ask the child to show the objects that the child already knows in the picture. Such a game, plus everything, will develop the memory of the baby, which is also not unimportant.


5. Make an application with the baby, take a landscape sheet white color, cut out simple shapes, for example: a sun, a tree, a flower, something that can be quickly cut out and not abuse your baby's patience. Smear these figures with glue stick and stick, you need to involve the baby in all these actions, but be very careful with scissors and make sure that the glue does not end up in the baby's mouth, otherwise your own inattention will lead to unpleasant consequences.


6. Build a Lego castle with your child. Despite the fact that it is believed that this constructor is intended for children from three years old, in this case this warning can be neglected, the only thing is that every detail of this constructor must be of a large size. Most likely, the baby will want to help you in this lesson, but even if in your understanding this is not help, still do not neglect it and be sure to praise the baby for helping to create the castle, which will also serve as an exercise in fine motor skills.

Fine motor skills games for children from 1 year old

1. When you go for a walk outside, take one empty 0.5-liter water bottle with you without a cap, and invite your child to collect small pebbles and try to put them in this bottle.


2. Give your baby unnecessary printed matter: newspapers, magazines or something else - and let the baby tear the leaves, the smaller the pieces he tears off, the more he will develop fine motor skills hands


3. For the next game, you will need an empty water bottle of any volume with a lid, screw the lid on, and offer the child to unscrew it, then, on the contrary, unscrew the lid, and offer the child to screw it on.


4. Scatter some small objects and ask the baby to collect them, he is unlikely to collect them, but while he is trying to pick up a small thing, fine motor skills will again develop.


5. Ask the kid to assemble the pyramid, at first you will do it yourself, and the child will be an outside observer, and in the future the roles will change, and you will become an outside observer, and already your baby will independently collect this pyramid. When collecting a pyramid, name the colors, ask the baby to show one or another color, which will also help develop the child's memory.


6. Take a landscape sheet, you will also need buttons, they can be anything, but there should be a lot of them. Invite the baby to lay out some kind of picture with the help of these buttons, for example: an apple, but when practicing with buttons, do not step away from the baby and do not turn away for a second so that he does not pull it into his mouth. You can also give the child toy dishes and ask him to cook dinner from these buttons, in this case you can use pasta, but only large ones.

Games designed to develop attention and memory in a child from a year old

1. Ask the baby: “Where is the nose?”, Answer: “Here it is”, while gently touching the tip of the baby’s nose, at first all these actions will only cause your little one to smile, and then in response to this question, he himself will show you the nose, the same can be done with any other part of the body.


2. Show your child how you cook, take a pot, cover it with a lid, then open it, take a spoon and stir the contents of the pot, invite the kid to repeat all this and you will make sure that your child will do it all with pleasure.


3. Show your baby pictures of various animals, and then ask them to show these animals, pronouncing their names.


4. Show the baby a toy, then ask him to close his eyes, put this toy in a prominent place, then ask the baby to open his eyes and find the toy.


5. Take three glasses, turn them upside down, hide a candy under one of them and swap the glasses, do all this with the baby, and then ask the baby to guess where the candy is.

Thus, it will turn out that a contented and joyful baby who will delight calm and happy parents with his successes.

Good afternoon, dear readers! I recently wrote about what to do if . And now we will analyze in more detail - how to prevent such a situation? How to teach a child to play? And you need to start it at 1 year old!

Of course, we lay in the child independence and up to a year. We give you as much freedom as possible. We allow you to study a variety of subjects. We organize for him ... But the conscious elements of the game appear only closer to the year.

And today we will talk about the game. Let's move away from the topic of separation from the mother, carrying in the arms and attachment to the breast ... How to play with a child at 1 year old?

Simplicity of games

Scientists believe that at this age the baby is most receptive to everything that happens. That he can be told about the structure of the world, read "Onegin" - and all this will be deposited somewhere inside him.

I don’t know how true this is, but it’s better to play games that are appropriate for his age. Only in what he can understand... And repeat.

The most striking example: I played rather strangely with my eldest daughter at this age. It seemed to me that the child was not yet able to play. In my understanding, the game was a whole performance of toys.

This game would be good for a 4-5 year old child. But not in a year! My daughter could not repeat my actions for a year. She sat and watched with pleasure how the toys “talk” among themselves, solve some problems ...

I was constantly coming up with new stories. It seemed to me that the child would be bored watching the same "play". And so it went on for up to 2-3 years, until the child began to join the game. However, by this time, the daughter was already used to being entertained all day long. And we ran into a number of problems.

All of this could have been avoided if I had done the right thing. In one year, the little one is able to perceive only the simplest actions. For example:

• spoon feed toys;
• put the doll to sleep, rocking;
• comb the doll;
• roll cars;
• collect something in a box;
• “vacuuming”, sweeping, washing something with a rag and imitating simple household chores;
• "talking on the phone";
• roll a stroller with a doll;
• "stomp" with a doll, etc.

Toddler repeats the game

Once upon a time it seemed to me that two identical toy "performances" should not be shown to a one-year-old. And then it turned out that on the contrary - at this age you need to play the same thing many times. Only then will the baby remember the game and understand what is required of him.

In one year, you can “feed” dolls all day long. And perform some simple actions with toys. The main thing is to teach your child to do it with you.

First, do the game action yourself several times. Then try to repeat it, but with the child. Feed your army of toys with your little one's hand. If he resists, don't be upset. Continue to enthusiastically stick a spoon in the mouth of the dolls.

All children grasp new games differently. Someone immediately connects. And someone needs to see it 20-30 times from the outside. The main thing is not to complicate the task. Choose only the simplest games. We go through them in three stages:

1. Only the mother plays, the child watches.
2. A child plays, but with the help of his mother.
3. Only the child is playing.

And remember that our task is to teach the baby to play independently. At least a few minutes. In my opinion, this is more useful for development than any activity with looking for a spout or smearing plasticine.

How to make the game more interesting?

In one year, it will be enough for a child if you just turn toys in your hands, put them somewhere, constantly “feed” and roll them in a stroller. However, not all mothers can withstand such a test.

With the second baby, I learned the main rule: the game should be interesting for mom! If you don't like the game, then:

• the child does not receive a portion of enthusiasm from you and also does not want to play, preferring to hang on his chest or in his arms;
• motherhood begins to seem like hell to you;
• you seek to isolate yourself from the child, to engage in it less. He feels it - and tries to become stronger attached to you.

But there is good news: you can make the game interesting! However, for this you will have to work a little.

And if you, like me, have no idea what to play... Download yourself a lot of books about games at this age. There are a lot of these books. And different books give different approaches to the game. Download, read and try.

Sooner or later you will find something that inspires you. Some people like games with handicraft elements... Some people are more interested in something that develops. I like playing with poetry more.

I will give an example of our favorite game... I already wrote about it on my Vkontakte page, but I will duplicate it.

We pick up any large toy and “walk” with it, repeating the words:

"Get out of the way cat,
Our Hare (Doll, Girl, etc.) is coming!
Top-top-top-top
Top-top-top-top.
Our Zainka is coming
It won't fall for anything.
Top-top-top-top
Top-top-top-top.”

And then we say: "Wow! Fell!" and with these words we drop the doll. Then we continue to stomp again.

The theme of the first steps for the year-old is very relevant. And our son enthusiastically joined the game. Moreover, this game forms a calm attitude towards falls in the child. which are unavoidable in this period.

The subtext of the game is this: if you fall, get up and move on. Falls are normal.

In addition, the son tries to repeat simple words- "top" and "bow". In this case, they are not in vain included in the text. This is how it is easier for a yearling to start talking.

You may not be inspired by our game. This is fine. But believe me, there are millions of the most different games. Look for them. In books, on Internet sites, in educational programs... You will definitely find "your" games. You just need to be patient.

Here is a video - one of the game options:

When a child turns one year old, parents can breathe a sigh of relief - the hardest part is left behind. The most interesting thing is ahead: time rapid development, knowledge of the world and the acquisition of new skills.

Lessons for a one-year-old child with mom

One-year-olds are always on the move: they explore the far corners of the apartment with curiosity, open cabinet doors, check the contents of drawers, pots and flower pots.

At one year old, babies need someone to help them make new discoveries and make it safe. Children carefully listen to everything that their parents say, and even answer in their own language, they understand a lot. With pleasure they support any game offered by adults. It will not be difficult for mom to figure out what to do with a child at 1 year old. Takes everything: cotton buds, napkins, boxes with lids, cloths, kitchen utensils.

At this age, kids are happy soap bubbles, musical instruments. They easily memorize and repeat those actions with objects that adults do: they depict how mom blows bubbles, picks guitar strings after dad, confidently wields drumsticks and even makes sounds of music from a pipe.

Children love to observe both their actions and the consequences of these actions. They tear cotton wool, scatter clothes that they pulled out of the closet, spill water from a cup. It is worth providing a surface that can be painted with finger paints and you can forget about the problem than to take a one-year-old child at home.

Joint activities with the mother contribute to the development of the child in different directions:

• Development of speech;
• Development of sensory and fine motor skills;
• Creative development;
• General development;
• Development of self-service skills;
• Physical development.

All classes are held in a playful way and bring only joy.

Why does a one-year-old child need a regimen

The daily routine creates a sense of stability. It is easier for mom if she knows what time the child wakes up, when he goes to sleep during the day and at night. This helps to intelligently allocate and plan time for housework, cooking for the baby, walking, playing and activities with the child.

The daily routine is based on the knowledge of the rhythms of the child: when he usually wakes up, when he is alert and ready to play, and when he wants to eat or ready to sleep. This knowledge allows you to predict the desires of the baby and correctly respond to his behavior. One-year-olds are not yet able to communicate their desires, so capricious behavior indicates the need for rest or that it is time to eat.

The mode helps to create for the little one comfortable conditions: put to bed and feed so as to avoid unwanted behavior. During the daytime nap, mom has the opportunity to decide what to do with her one-year-old baby when he wakes up and prepare for it.

The daily routine has a positive effect on children. Periods of rest and rest are replaced by periods of activity, after outdoor games, walks on fresh air and eating children want to sleep. Order and stability form a sense of security; without it, it is more difficult for a child to develop correctly.

Educational games for one year olds

Any game that parents can entertain children at this age becomes educational. Babies, like sponges, absorb everything new that adults show them. The most effective development is the one that brings pleasure. This is achieved in a playful way. In order to achieve the best result, you need to know how to develop a child at 1 year old, and which games are more suitable for this:

Interesting ideas for practicing at home

There is no need to protect the child from doing household chores. This will help the baby develop faster, and bring up an assistant to the delight of parents. Let your child:

• Wipe the table with a cloth. You can moisten a cloth with water, which is usually used to wipe a dining table or a children's table, show what movements the surface is wiped with, and give it to the baby. He will gladly repeat the actions. Don't let everything go perfect the first time. The more often parents give the child the opportunity to prove himself by performing simple tasks and praise him, the faster baby learn to do everything right, see the value of his own work, learn to appreciate the work of others and understand that his parents trust him.

• Sweep the floor with a brush. This work is best done in pairs. For this it is worth buying children's set brushes and owl. The kid will watch the parents and try to repeat. The feeling of importance and need will play a role, the child will be happy to participate.
• load laundry into washing machine. Children love to imitate adults: they help carry laundry from the basket to the washing machine or pull clean laundry out of the machine, helping their mother hang it up.

Active pastime for toddlers

The mental and physical development of children are connected with each other, therefore, at the age of one, it is necessary to encourage the baby to move more. Many already walk and need daily training and exercises to improve the skill. You can start doing simple gymnastics, exercises in the morning. After a couple of months - jump.

It becomes possible to play outdoor games. This can be chasing and hiding behind a closet door or curtains, playing ball or with a car, involving rolling on the floor or a built road. You can throw and catch the ball with your mother, roll it.

Climbing up and down the steps of a stepladder under the supervision of an adult will be a good activity. Stacks of books stacked in the form of steps will do. If there is a Swedish wall, you can work out on it. Sofas, chairs and armchairs can be used to get on and off.

Note! During active games, adults should always be near the baby.

Stand alone games

In addition to playing with the baby, mom needs free time dedicated to doing household chores. It is convenient to do some part of the work while the child is sleeping, but in this case, noisy types of work should be excluded. They will have to be postponed while the baby is awake. In order for the baby to give mom the opportunity to do business, he should be taught to play on his own.

Can be alternated stand-alone games and joint. As soon as the baby's attention is occupied by the toy, the mother should go about her business while being nearby so that the child feels her presence.

Of course, it will not work to distract a one-year-old child for 3 hours without the participation of another adult, but it is quite possible to organize this for 15-20 minutes.

Babies are very inquisitive, they are interested in everything. Things and objects common to adults are perceived by children in a completely different way. It is worth showing new objects that may interest the child:

1. Packages from the supermarket. They are large, rustling, they can be thrown up, you can walk with them, you can put toys in them. If you show how to use the bags, the kid will play with them.

Important! It is necessary to ensure that the child does not put a bag on his head - suffocation is possible.

1. Bulk items: cereals, pasta. The lesson is useful in that it contributes to the development of fine motor skills. Sprinkling these items in containers, such as pots provided by the mother, will distract the baby. Everything can end up scattering these loose objects throughout the room or even the apartment, but this minor harm to the cleanliness of the house cannot be compared with the benefits of a child playing independently and developing his fine motor skills, on which the speed of development of thinking, coordination and speech depends.
2. Roll of toilet paper. Children like to tear to shreds soft toilet paper. It gives them great joy to watch it unwind when they pull it. When the roll is completely unwound, the child can sit for a long time, wrapped in paper, sorting through it with his fingers and tearing off what is still intact.
3. Busyboard. The construction of the board with hooks, handles, locks, latches, opening doors, wheels, switches, stoppers and other attributes that are usually prohibited is occupied by kids.
4. Box with old toys. Parents are advised not to buy a lot of toys, but to divide already bought into two parts and give them to the child in turn. The child plays in one part of the toys, the other is put in a box and taken out if necessary to occupy the little one. Pulling and looking at all the toys from the box is so exciting.

Indicators of proper development

Useful and interesting activities for a peanut, subject to their regularity, will bear fruit. Any child can:

• find a familiar item that mom will ask you to bring;
• to distinguish a large toy from a small one and show which one is which;
• build a tower of cubes or cups;
• disassemble and assemble a pyramid of rings;
• hide small toys under inverted cups;
• hide by covering your eyes with your hands;
• put the details of the designer on top of each other;
• show how the car drives, how the doll goes to bed;
• hold your hand to your ear, imitating your mother talking on the phone;
• repeat simple words and exclamations that he hears from adults;
• try to imitate familiar sounds, such as a running vacuum cleaner or washing machine.

The development of the child, according to Dr. Komarovsky, always worries parents. It is absolutely not worth worrying for those who give their child a sufficient amount of time. To tell, explain, show and acquaint with everything that surrounds us - The best way develop the child.

Your baby is 1 year old. One of the most important and most difficult stages of a child's life, the period of infancy, has been passed. What experience did the baby manage to accumulate, overcoming 12 months of life? Chances are your child can already stand and walk without assistance. He no longer wants to constantly be in a limited space - in a crib or playpen. It is during this period that the cognitive activity of the baby is activated especially intensively, which means that the young researcher examines all cabinets, boxes and drawers in the house, checks the taste and strength of all objects that fall into his field of vision. Try to make your home as safe as possible for the child, but at the same time, do not overload the baby with overprotection. After all, bruises and falls are also part of the necessary life experience. Do not limit the search activity of the child, let him learn the world by all means and means available to him, if they do not contradict the safety rules. The ability to walk in combination with increased activity requires certain skills from the baby, so try to devote more time physical development child. Conducting classes in a playful way, teach the baby to run, jump, climb. Choose exercises that promote the development of coordination of movements, strengthening the muscles of the body. The development of the arch of the child's foot also requires special classes, since during this period it is usually flattened. Allow the baby to walk barefoot on surfaces with different coatings, at the same time it also contributes to the development of tactile sensations.

What else can a child of the second year of life? It is possible that the grasping function of your baby's hands is already quite developed and he can pick up both large and small objects from the floor using his thumb and forefinger. To improve these skills, promote the development of fine motor skills and tactile sensations: introduce the child to objects of various shapes and sizes, use paper and fabric of different textures in games, organize games with small objects - buttons, cereals, beads, etc. But at the same time, be careful that the objects of the game do not end up in the child's mouth. In the same age period the child masters the basic skills of self-care: during the second year of life, the baby learns to eat independently, drink from a cup, take off some items of clothing.

In the same period, the intensive development of the baby's speech begins. If by the first birthday the child operates with several short words- “mom, dad, woman, give,” then by the end of the year he knows how to build simple sentences, formulate his requests, express some feelings and emotions. Help the baby in mastering this difficult science. Talk to the baby as much as possible, ask him questions that require a detailed answer, ask the child's opinion on this or that occasion, encourage him to express his desires in words, not facial expressions. Play as much as possible speech games using nursery rhymes, poems, songs. Read fairy tales, funny stories to your child. Make sure that your speech is understandable to the child, but you should not switch to "childish" language and communicate with the baby, copying his pronunciation.

Be creative with any activity with your child, try to captivate, interest the baby. Invent and create together with the baby, be sincere in all manifestations, because not a single, even the most interesting, game will occupy the child if the mother nearby yawns from boredom.

On the other two sheets, draw large squares (triangles, etc.) and color them by exchanging pencils. Discuss what the figure looks like. In the future, you can involve other family members in the game, not forgetting to pay the child's attention to the number of figures and pencils. Do not insist that the baby paint the figures strictly along the contour. Be sure to participate in the game, looking at you, the child will repeat your actions, acquire useful skills.

Let's think about what it looks like (like an apple, like a sun, like a wheel)." Look around the room for round objects. Explore circles of different colors. After the child has mastered the concept of "circle", you can move on to other geometric shapes, while expanding the range of colors. Compare two identical figures of different colors. Look for associations.

The game teaches to distinguish objects by color and shape.

Let's figure it out!

You will need: 3 circles and 3 squares cut out of cardboard.

Shuffle the circles and squares. Ask your child to help you select all the circles. Then color them in the same color. To color the squares, use pencils of a different color.

So they blew out the first candle with the baby on his birthday. A personality is formed. The second year of life is a serious stage. Already from this age it is necessary to pay due attention to development. The child no longer only eats and sleeps, he actively learns the world around him. How to develop a child at 1 year old in such a way that he is interested, that he listens to you with pleasure, repeats game actions? What at this age the kid will really perceive with enthusiasm? Let's take a closer look.

Features of the development of a child from 1 year

During the first year of his life, the baby has already mastered many lessons, but he still has much more to learn. There are a lot of discoveries, emotions, skills ahead. Parents should be the first helpers along the way. At this age, on the way to everything unknown and new, the child may have certain fears and doubts. The question of how to develop a child at 1 year old is faced by many mothers, fathers, and grandmothers.

In fact, there is nothing complicated about this. Be always there, help the baby, devote more time to developing games and activities. Children at this age have natural wisdom, they have an irrepressible craving for knowledge. In many ways, they simply begin to imitate adults, so set examples that will encourage the baby to learn something new.

Many children by the age of one already begin to walk, after two months they move quite quickly and even run. The growth of the organism during this period slows down a little, all resources are spent on the development of all systems. In this period, it is necessary to focus on sports developmental activities for children 1-2 years old to form dexterity, proper coordination of movements. Exercises on the Swedish wall, ball games, simple gymnastics, exercises, swimming in the pool or bath are suitable. Do not limit physical activity at this age. The kid should run around freely, show a craving for research, get to know the world around him, and communicate with people.

Start with your baby as early as possible

How early should you start developing comprehensive knowledge in a child? The debate on this issue is endless. Someone claims that the baby should gradually learn everything himself, all the necessary knowledge will come to him gradually. Opponents of this point of view object that development should be started from the first year of life, as soon as the baby has an interest in the world around him. Supporting this theory, teachers create books, manuals that develop pictures for children from 1 year old.

The only unequivocal opinion is that children under the age of five are like a blank sheet of paper. Their active brain is ready to memorize huge amounts of information. So why not take advantage of this fact? In addition to self-care skills, help your child to better understand the world around them, teach them to distinguish colors, shapes, and plants. Feed his brain with useful information.

Development centers for children from 1 year old

Many parents who are interested in early education are familiar with the Montessori system. She reveals the secrets to parents on how to develop a child at 1 year old. This system was created at the beginning of the 20th century by the Italian teacher Maria Montessori. Its supporters appeared in many other countries.

What is this system? At the beginning, Maria Montessori paid more attention to those children who lagged behind in development, but over time, her methods began to be applied in the upbringing of completely healthy children. Psychologists and teachers use this technique to teach a child to make independent decisions, to be independent in actions and judgments, but at the same time to comply with generally accepted norms and rules.

It should be noted that in such groups, children do not have ordinary toys (dolls, cars, guns). But you can see educational toys for children from 1 year old - these are puzzles, cubes, sorters, musical instruments. The Montessori system makes it possible for the child to develop self-service skills, he learns to eat, drink, play, dress.

At home, parents must adhere to these principles, and then there is a guarantee that the baby will become a self-sufficient person. From childhood, he will be instilled with the skills of proper communication in society. Such a child can easily cope with any situations and get out of them with dignity.

In Moscow, there are development centers for children from 1 year old that work according to this method, these are Montessori Garden, Steps, Club early development" and some others.

Games for children 1 year old

It is in the second year of life that the baby begins to settle into social society. Learns to play with mom, sister or brother. Growing up, he finds friends on the playground, the social circle expands. He enjoys looking at new people, listening to them, watching the games of others, trying to participate.

Games for children 1 year old should be quite diverse. Develop motor skills. Under the supervision of adults, set several tasks: sorting something small, you can take large beads, nuts, chestnuts, pompoms. Items can be of different colors, textures. Let the child arrange them in the desired cells or trays.

Oversleeping, transfusion develops spatial thinking in the baby. In the bathroom, give the child the opportunity to play, let him pour water from one container to another. You can also play with kinetic sand or with any grits. This will develop perseverance, concentration. Everyone remembers the "silent kid" who got to the bag of flour.

Buy educational pictures for children from 1 year old. They will allow you to learn to recognize various objects. Draw more often with the baby, give him the opportunity to create on his own. Let him not succeed in a masterpiece, but the process itself will give him great pleasure. Let him draw with anything - pencils, paints, chalk. Do not forget about outdoor games, do physical exercises, show how to walk in place, squat, throw balls.

What to play?

Often, parents cannot understand what kind of toys at this age to buy for a baby, and offer him everything in a row. You don't have to do that. At this age, the child is not able to make an independent choice and does not pay long attention to one thing. It is best to purchase educational toys for children from 1 year old, which will help the baby not only play, but at the same time think, think, make decisions.

These can be cubes, various pyramids, large puzzles, a constructor, sorters with animals, vegetables, fruits, a large magnetic, plastic or wooden mosaic. For general development, different baby dolls, dolls, cars are suitable. Sometimes throw an idea new toy can educational cartoon for children from 1 year old. Toddlers love to play with characters from their favorite stories. At the same time, they develop their imagination and come up with the plots of the game themselves.

Get creative

As soon as the baby learned to sit, took a vertical position, he realized that in front of him was a huge, interesting world. It became even more interesting to him when he took the first steps. A mother must constantly look for sources of knowledge for her child. Creativity can be a great help.

FROM early age Children can do more than just draw. Engage in modeling, make applications, assemble a constructor, learn together to make images from a mosaic, allow him to participate in the process, encourage his impulses of creativity.

Similar classes are practiced in Moscow by developing circles for children from 1 year old. "Mosaic", "Rainbow", "Anthill" are very popular with mothers. A lot of safe material has been created for the unthinking, and this allows them to develop their creative abilities: kinetic sand, finger paints, safe plasticine. Many practice modeling from dough, which is tinted with food paints.

We develop fine motor skills

The nerve endings that are responsible for the coordination of the fingers are located in the brain, in close proximity to the center responsible for speech. Therefore, any finger games will help the baby start talking faster.

How to develop the motor skills of a 1 year old child? Give the baby a light massage of the palms, fingers, while diluting the mechanical strokes with various nursery rhymes, songs. See how he likes it.

You can give assignments. Play with beads. Try to teach your baby to throw them into the neck of a plastic bottle, and then take them out. In no case do not leave him alone with small objects, he may accidentally swallow them.

Make the tasks harder gradually. A curious activity for children will be pushing pasta and other thin objects into the holes of the colander.

Buy a developing table for children from 1 year old, it provides games for fine motor skills.

At this age, children love to play with dough. Let your baby "help" you in the kitchen. Let him play with the dough and sculpt anything out of it, imitating you, roll balls, pancakes. All these entertainments are not only interesting, but also very useful.

Choosing a development table

A developing table for children from 1 year old is usually equipped with a set that will allow the baby to fully develop. The kit includes the following items:

• levers and multi-colored buttons, when pressed, music sounds;
• details reproducing the voices of animals, the sounds of musical instruments;
• light elements;
• moving figurines.

All this diversity allows the child to develop hearing, taste buds, touch (listening, biting, touching beautiful buttons). At first glance, it may seem that the baby does not understand anything. However, at this age, the “accumulative effect” works perfectly, and soon the child will repeat without errors all the actions that the elders showed him.

Since it is easier to develop a child at 1 year old with improvised means, we advise parents to buy such a table. It will allow you to develop fine and gross motor skills, master the size of various objects, distinguish between the voices of animals, develop speech, hearing, have fun and play at the same time.

Cartoons. Communication with peers

In the second year of life, the child is just beginning his acquaintance with the outside world, so watching TV should not take him much time. You can watch cartoons at this age for a very short time, and, of course, the plots must be appropriate. Limit screen time, don't let watching become the only pleasure and entertainment. Choose an educational cartoon for children from 1 year old wisely and right approach. Modern rental offers great amount children's cartoons, both Russian and foreign. Give preference to our "cartoons", their kind and informative stories will interest the baby. The generation of "Pokemon" and "monsters" has already led our society to the fact that children simply moved to live in gaming networks. It's time to stop this. From an early age, begin to limit your baby's views and strictly control his tastes in the future. For children of 1 year old, such educational cartoons as “Leva the Truck”, “Tini Love”, “Aha-Aha Turtle”, “Aunt Owl” are perfect. Useful at this age are displays that will help you remember colors, numbers, letters, names of objects and animals.

Do not forget that harmonious development child can only occur in communication with peers. Do not close the baby in the apartment, do not limit his communication with mom, dad, grandparents. The child should get used to society, the process of learning about the world around him goes much faster this way. Playing with peers, the baby learns something useful and new. Visit playgrounds, development centers, game rooms with him.

Books

Conducting developmental classes for children 1-2 years old, no doubt you need to read books to them, show pictures. At this age, children absorb all the information provided like a sponge. Although their speech is not yet developed, everything new is accumulating in the brain. Soon the acquired knowledge will pour out. You need to tell the kids, show, explain absolutely everything. Toddlers are very interested in looking at books that they have already encountered in their lives. Therefore, they begin to love them at an early age.

Basically, books for one-year-olds are somewhat similar. They do not abound with text, the main thing in them is colorful, beautiful pictures. There is an acquaintance with the outside world: family, toys, animals, seasons, colors, plants. How to choose a specific book? Heed to own opinion. According to the content, based on your artistic taste, you can choose anything. As for the technical points, then:

• Illustrations must be of high quality. The text is as small as possible.
• Preference short rhymes, fairy tales. The child will not be able to listen for a long time if the text is very large, he will quickly lose interest.
• The book must be completely secure. Do not buy dubious publications that have a pungent smell, washed out colors. This can harm the baby's health.

It is difficult to single out the “best” educational books for a child of 1 year old. The modern market is overfilled with this product. You can give preference to our old, well-established fairy tales, which were loved in every family. But not the fact that the same thing should please your baby. Modern children differ in many ways from older generations in their development, so watch your child and note for yourself what he prefers.
