WHAT TOYS A NEWBORN NEEDS - WHAT TOYS A BABY NEEDS IN 1 MONTH

Psychologists say: the sooner you start playing with your baby, the smarter it will grow.

Talk to your baby from birth. Sing him songs, talk about the surrounding objects. Calm intonations calm the child, he develops attention and the ability to concentrate. Draw the baby's attention to each new object.

  1. In the first month, the child does not focus his vision. Teach him to concentrate with the crib pendant.
  2. Already from 2-3 weeks you can shake the rattle near the baby. After a while, he will look for the source of the sound with his eyes.
  3. And if you put the trinket in the palm of his hand, he will learn to grab it. Buy soft and rough toys, put warm and cold toys (for example, a spoon) in the handle so that he understands the difference.

Children quickly get used to it and stop paying attention to a familiar thing. It is advisable to change toys from time to time so that it is interesting for them to observe. Let's take a closer look at what toys are needed for newborns.

Crib carousel (mobile)

Singing to a child about the "gray top" does not always work. Helps out the mobile, which gives out electronic melodies. On it toys are smoothly spinning in a circle. It entertains the baby, develops his eyesight and attention.

  • Choose a pendant with figurines that face the child. He will see the whole image, not the ends.
  • If you do not know how to hang toys over the bed correctly, then ophthalmologists recommend placing them at a distance of at least 30 cm for the prevention of strabismus.
  • It's good if the trinkets are removable (they are easier to care for), and the sound of the music is adjustable. The best sedative is relaxing classics and gentle sounds of nature.
  • It is worth paying attention to the rotation mechanism: the clockwork will have to be tightened up every 5 minutes, the electric one will work for up to half an hour, but you will have to fork out for batteries.

Do not rush to turn on the carousel, let the baby get used to it and learn to observe the movement of objects. Make sure that he is not overexcited: the baby cannot yet turn away when the toy gets bored or tired of him. Change toys on your mobile periodically.

Stroller rattle

A hanging toy or garland is an additional exercise machine for visual and physical activity. It stimulates color perception. Babies do not see all colors, but only a few. They perceive yellow and red first, then green and blue. Therefore, choose the first toys with this feature in mind.

  • The harness is attached with a convenient clip. It can combine materials and elements of various textures: plastic rings, teethers, tweeters, bells, rustling inserts. As they grow up, the baby will reach for them to twitch.
  • A garland of toys is attached to the sides of the stroller. Plastic or soft figures attract with brightness and rattling.

Hand rattle

A newborn's movements can be stiff, so help him to loosen up. Hook a rattle-bracelet on the handle, lay the baby naked on a soft blanket or terry towel to massage the little body. With gentle touches, you will relieve muscle tone, and the child will soon "discover" that he has arms and legs. He will be fascinated by them.

Developing book

It is useful for a child to consider contrasting black and white pictures - circles, lines, zigzags. They will teach you how to focus your gaze.

The double-sided developmental book is easily attached to the sides of the crib or stroller using plastic clips or Velcro straps.Both sides with images are designed for several stages of development - from birth and from three months.

  • One side features contrasting colors and large shapes, a safety mirror and pictures of animals. Such drawings develop sensory perception and emotional intelligence.
  • On the other side there are funny illustrations with inserts of fabrics of various textures, rustling details and teethers. They help develop imagination and fine motor skills.

Rattle for newborns

The first rattles for babies should be comfortable to grip. This convention has a perspective for the future. And buy very little one not too loud, so as not to scare.

Shake it in front of the baby, move it from side to side faster and slower. The child will turn to the source of the sound and follow it with his eyes. Thus, hearing, vision and concentration of attention develop.

Ideal rattles:

  • lightweight, comfortable for the handle;
  • fabric or silicone, so that the baby does not hit himself, since coordination is not yet developed and the movements are chaotic;
  • without smell.
