We continue a series of articles about educational toys for your baby. The child grows - his toys change. We talk about how to develop a baby in the period from two to three years, and what toys will help him with this.

Of course, one cannot be unfounded when it comes to child development. Therefore, we enlisted the opinion of Evgeny Komarovsky (pediatrician, doctor the highest category, TV presenter of the program "School of Dr. Komarovsky"): "The main thing for an educational toy is safety and realism. The circle should be round, the square should be square, the sky should be blue, and the chicken really looks like a chicken. In educational games, the one who is engaged is much more important than the toy with a child. Calmness, goodwill, availability of time - this is much more important than a specific toy. "

What toys for children from 2 to 3 years old are we talking about today:

Figures of people and animals

Shared Reading Book

Magnetic board with letters

“Mimic” toys

Dolls and bears

Wooden or plastic constructor

The most important thing in any designer is the ease of connecting parts with children's hands. Which constructor to choose - from blocks alone or with plot elements such as little men, trees - it's up to you. However, in the game with any constructor, the child will need an example to follow. Your example, parents! Designers develop three-dimensional thinking, fantasy, fine motor skills, sense of symmetry, mathematical skills and aesthetic perception of the world.

Figures of people and animals

In addition to the fact that the child will remember the names of animals and their sounds, figurine toys will help in role play. The child will be able to feel like a farmer, a calf with a mother-cow at her side, or strong lion. Different roles in the game will help in the future to adapt to society and develop different models behavior in it.

Pencils, markers, coloring books

The first pencils should be soft and bright, felt-tip pens should be inexpensive, and paints should be as simple as possible (for example, honey watercolor). Until the kid learns to draw for real, expensive drawing tools are useless. And let there be some scribbles first - they will be able to give the parent an extra 10 minutes of free time. In addition, with the help of pencils and paints, you can expand your baby's knowledge of colors and shades.

Shared Reading Book

Books for joint reading with the baby - one of the essential toys in the development of the child. You remember how they read to you as a child. Nice memories, Truth? Give your child the same! The works of the good old children's writers - Marshak, Barto, Zakhoder, Chukovsky, Mikhalkov - are always very well received by children.

Books help a child learn to fantasize without the help of toys, develop abstract thinking. In addition, by reading books to a child, you develop him lexicon and connected speech.

Puzzles, lotto, dominoes with pictures

Such toys develop the ability to think, analyze, group and develop visual memory. After the kid has mastered the simplest puzzles or lotto, offer him a toy where you need to dock: by colors, shapes, animals-birds, vegetables-fruits, edible-inedible.

Magnetic board with letters

From two to three - the age when you can already learn the alphabet with your baby, make up syllables and gradually learn to read them. Letters-magnets, which are compiled on a special board or refrigerator, will help well with this. Make it a rule to learn one letter at breakfast every day, tell your baby fascinating story about travel letters, in general, interest him!

Toys for physical development

Such toys include balls, skittles, a basket for mini-basketball. The main requirement for these toys is lightness and minimal trauma. Balls can be inflatable or solid rubber (remember how such a ball rings when you hit it on the ground?), skittles - plastic and light, but stable. Before buying a basketball basket, make sure it is secure and secure.

Plasticine, clay or salt dough

These toys develop motor skills, fantasy, abstract thinking. Plasticine is a unique find. They can sculpt absolutely everything, from cats, and cars, ending with whole paintings. Do you understand what parents can do with ordinary plasticine? It's time to become a real wizard for your child!

Salt dough is another material for creativity, moreover, it is absolutely safe and environmentally friendly. Subsequently, masterpieces fashioned by crumbs can be baked and painted with gouache, or you can immediately make several colors of dough by adding gouache when kneading.

“Mimic” toys

strollers, ironing board, kitchens for girls and tool kits for boys. The parent not only shows by example what needs to be done, but also explains how and why. Putting the doll to sleep in the stroller, tell why sleep is needed, gently cover the doll (so that she is warm and does not get sick). For a boy, the role of a builder up to three years is most often performed by the father, showing what and how. The sons watch this process, as if spellbound.

Dolls and bears

These are the so-called "animate" toys. Toys that take the place of the most beloved and put with you at night. Such toys are simply necessary for a child. Even boys need to play with dolls and soft toys, because, according to psychologists, this is what will help them adapt to society more easily. dolls and Stuffed Toys should be used to practice everyday skills: planting on a potty, dressing, undressing, feeding. Playing with such toys, the baby develops his imagination and learns to communicate.

Our educational toys for children from 1 to 2 years old in a detailed review.

Starting from the age of one, the child actively masters vertical life. That is why, along with intellectual toys, he now simply needs those that contribute to the development motor activity. It is with them that the review will begin.

Toys that promote the development of motor activity

Toys that contribute to the formation of everyday skills

Toys that contribute to the intellectual development of the child

As at a younger age, at 1-2 years old it is important to take care of intellectual development child.

1. Development tables. We have double-sided chicco and elc with balls. We play with chicco from 6 months to this day.
   

   

2. The first thing that should appear in the baby's gaming arsenal is the simplest puzzles of 2-4 parts . Ideally, if these are thematic sets - flowers, vegetables and fruits, animals. So the child will learn not only to add pictures, but also understand the meaning of such a thing as a "category".
   When the child learns to put together the simplest 2-piece puzzles, you can trust him to choose something more interesting in the store.
   
3. Closer to 2 years, the child begins to understand the charm of not only puzzles, but also cubes. He may try to put pictures together, look for familiar letters, or simply build towers. It is ideal to have, as in the previous case, several thematic sets.
   
4. In the game, of course, there must be a place cards and books . If only earlier baby it was possible to simply show objects, now you can switch to more complex, again thematically, sets - an account, clothes, who eats what, mothers and children, comparisons, and so on. When studying with a child, it is important to “dose” the daily amount of information that he receives - every day just showing everything and at once you are unlikely to succeed.

   

5. Fundamentally new toys that the baby has yet to master - a variety of lacing and figures that are worn on laces. In stores, their choice is very large - from universal to themed, designed for boys and girls.
   
6. Boards of Segen. Very detailed in the material Segen's Boards: methodology and practical exercises at home.
   
7. Sorters closer to 2 years for children become very interesting. The variant of our house sorter Ks kids is suitable for children from 1 year old.
   
8. All kinds of constructors and mosaics closer to 2 years.

   

9. Mushrooms. Sort, size, color, more-less, etc.
   
10. Another great educational toy for a child 1-2 years old is called "Magnetic Stories" (although the box says 3+, but it is quite suitable for more younger age). It is a set of several pictures-fields, a magnetic box into which they are inserted, and directly magnets. Using all this, you can create your own own stories- of course, the baby will not be able to do this right away, but it is quite possible to help him. There are quite a lot of options for sets - there are thematic ones (for example, dedicated to the seasons), there are dedicated to some cartoons (for example, Masha and the Bear), there is a so-called starter one.

They are well aware that at 2 months a child cannot yet consciously play with objects that fall into his hands. He won't play the way we imagine. The kid now only looks and listens, watching adults. Therefore, the little one needs bright and shiny trinkets, but at 2 years old everything is changing rapidly.

Everyone is well aware that in young age children like different unusual things. However, it is worth making sure that games with them can also teach something, broaden their horizons. little man, after all modern norms child development invented for a reason!

good option educational toys for children at 2 years old will become, the main thing is that they interest the little one himself, and it would be interesting for you to play with the child, intelligibly explaining and showing new things.

After two years, the game naturally becomes more complicated, because the child seeks not just to jingle with objects, but to get a very specific result of his game, and with it the approval of adults. During this period, children, mastering goal-setting, become very independent, and the task of parents, as before, is to provide the kids with an environment for proper development.

Children's play corner

In the period from 2 to 3 years, the child develops the so-called "childish pedantry", outwardly manifested in the desire to act in accordance with the regime and established rules.

In order to support the child in his desire to do everything neatly and clearly, you need to organize his own place- a corner in the room or, if possible, your own separate room. In this children's territory, everything should be orderly, there should be a place for everything. To systematize the "children's household" will help:

• rack with various shelves and drawers;
• boxes, containers, baskets;
• children's fabric frame house or arena;
• children's furniture (table, chair) for drawing, modeling and others;

Ideally, the child's room should be clearly zoned and have a separate space for each type of activity and play:

• a place for playing dolls, where there are doll houses, furniture, transport;

The earliest known doll houses began to be made in the 16th century in Europe and were not at all child's play. These were several times reduced copies of an ideal home with all the attributes rich life- miniature paintings on the walls, carved furniture and silk curtains on the windows.

• children's "kitchen", where the stove, dishes, plastic fruits and vegetables, etc. are located;

• territory, including a table, a chair, a rack with paints and plasticine;
• free space for ball games and others outdoor games etc.

Each play area can, among other things, be separated by a rug of your own color or a movable screen - all this the baby will be very happy with, and thanks to this, he will even more strive to maintain order in his room.

The beginning of a child's play

During this period, the child learns the process of the game - some actions that will subsequently form a real plot, a story, the heroes of which will be himself and his favorite toys. The adult's task this stage- show the baby how to play, and for this you need to purchase (if this has not been done before) several realistic toys:

• dolls from different materials and different type, for example, dressed in rag and plastic with a set of clothes that can be taken off and put on;
• doll utensils, furniture, hygiene and personal care items, as well as food - everything must match the size of the doll for ease of play;
• toy animals that are as similar to real ones as possible;

All these toys should be very simple and without additional features, such as singing songs, crying, because this inhibits the development of the baby's imagination, does not allow him to decide for himself what the toy will do. Also, for most dolls and animals, legs and arms should bend and unbend, it should be easy to seat them on a chair and put them in a crib. The face or muzzle of the toy, all the details (eyes, nose, etc.) should be clear and recognizable, not confusing the baby with their pretentiousness.

Dolls in their modern representation were made back in Ancient Egypt 4.5 thousand years ago, and even then they had hair, bending and unbending legs and arms, several sets of clothes and their own miniature furniture.

• various items that do not have a specific meaning and purpose, but which may be needed during the game. These items can be pyramid rings, cubes, balls, etc. - in general, everything that remains from toys bought for a child at an earlier age.

There should not be a lot of toys, but with the help of them, the child must learn the basic actions of an adult: comb, wash, go to bed (lay down the doll), cook porridge, eat (feed the baby doll), etc. First, the baby will perform all these “rituals without any logic, but over time, the skills acquired during this period will help him play for a long time and with interest.

First stories for the game

• : cook soup or porridge, arrange the dishes on the table before dinner, put the dolls on chairs, feed the dolls from a spoon, pour juice into cups, give the dolls a drink. It is not necessary that all items should be at hand for the baby (spoons can be ice cream sticks, and compote can be poured pretend from the kettle), the correct action according to the situation is important.
• It's time to sleep: put the doll in the crib, cover with a blanket, straighten the pillow, sing a song, pat on the head or back.
• Morning procedures: bathe the doll, wash her, brush her teeth, comb her hair, etc.
• : ride a car, play ball, etc.
• We meet guests, celebrate or New Year (last holiday, which the baby remembered): we set the table with a festive tablecloth, put beautiful dishes, put fruits and vegetables in a vase, meet guests, seat them at the table, treat them.

When giving a story to a child, especially not for the first time, there is no need to control and correct his every action. Fantasizing and improvising, he will gradually mature for his own completely story game.

Toys for a child 2-3 years old

Wheelchairs

If earlier the kid mostly just dragged cars on a string, now he is interested in rolling his favorite dolls and animals on it. Therefore, cars must be either with a seat at the top, or with an open body. The task of an adult is to suggest a plot to a child, for example, toys are going to visit, for a birthday, etc.

Blocks with large parts and dice sets

The child does not yet need more complex designers or consisting of smaller parts than those that were already bought to him in the period from one to two years. But now it is important to show the baby how the details of the designer can interact with the space around. For example, by putting the rings from the pyramid to a chair, one can imagine that this is a typewriter, and by placing a few more chairs at the back, that this is a train car. Also, from the constructor, you can build, say, a computer and “work” on it, as dad does. You can also build houses and furniture for dolls from cubes, transforming and improving your children's world.

Parents should not have the task of buying absolutely all the tools for their child to play, they should explain and show the baby how to make the device he needs today from the toys he already has.

In St. Petersburg, the Toy Museum was opened in 1997 and became the second such institution in Russia after the museum in Sergiev Posad near Moscow. Despite the fact that the St. Petersburg museum is quite young, its collection already includes more than 10 thousand exhibits and is constantly replenished with new copies of Russian and foreign-made toys of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Various balls

Balls, contrary to the idea of ​​​​adults about them, provide an opportunity not only for the baby, they serve as an indispensable simulator for the development of speech and communication. When teaching a child to throw and catch a ball, you can also teach him to answer a question and quickly ask an adult a question himself.

The child should have several completely different balls at his disposal:

• a large inflatable ball as tall as him;
• soccer ball or similar;
• a light ball the size of a football;
• Arabic ball;
• ping pong ball;
• small rubber ball, etc.

dynamic toys

Dynamic is the toy that the child is able to put into action and understand why it performs a particular movement. That is, a battery-powered toy that, after pressing a button, starts to sing, bark or walk, is not dynamic and in no way develops the imagination and thinking of the baby.

Parents should purchase the following dynamic toys:

• wheelchairs - those that, after the start of movement, perform some actions, for example, a drummer bear;
• rotating - after pressing, they begin to ride, for example, a spinning top and a spinning top;
• rocking, such as roly-poly doll, rocking horse, etc.

First picture books

From the first months of life, a child likes to examine and study everything with his eyes, so books with bright pictures it is simply necessary and at this stage of development too.

• pictures should be good quality, clear, with well-drawn details;
• they should depict easily recognizable animals and other characters;
• pictures should be not only plot, but also with the image of objects;
• sets of pictures where the same bear or bunny is in different situations, space and time will serve good help for the development of the child.

A child can not just look at books and cards, adults need to come up with different ones using the child’s favorite images. For example, you can cut several cards in half and ask the child to connect the parts together, or ask them to connect the objects in the pictures with their owners on another group of cards.

How to choose a safe toy for a child (video)

Thus, from two to three years, as it turns out, the child does not need to buy a lot of new things, especially in comparison. Now it is important to create conditions for a good organization and systematization of the arsenal of toys that he already has, and also to show him the first plots for the game, how toys can interact with the space around, modifying it depending on the desires and needs of the child for a specific today's game situation.

It is difficult for inexperienced parents to determine which toys are interesting for a child at 2 years old to gain playing skills with peers, develop logic and fine motor skills. From the outside, it seems that give a kid of this age anything, and he will play. For example, FAQ: "What to give a girl, and a boy"? Again, you need to understand that any toys, first of all, should be of interest to a child of 2 summer age. That's what my article is about.

I have met many families where the nursery is littered with toys that the baby is supposed to play with, but this does not happen. This happens because all children are different, with different temperaments and the character traits already embedded in them. One toddler can play for hours with a designer, puzzles, while the other is less assiduous, he is not able to sit quietly for a minute. Mini-basketball nets with balls, cars and various outdoor games are suitable for such children.

There are toys for children 2-3 years old, which parents, older sisters, brothers should play with. These are educational games. There are also games with which you can develop in a toddler specific model future behavior - educational games. What toys are interesting for a child at 2 years old?

Educational games for children 2 years old at home

I want to immediately advise parents not to get hung up on only “developers”. A 2-3 year old toddler should have various toys from the 3 categories listed below.
Educational (lotto, puzzles, paints, mosaic)
Educational (lacing, strollers, kitchens, ironing boards)
For active games (balls, railways, parking lots, mini bowling alleys)

Monotony can tire and provoke whims with an unwillingness to continue playing with any kid, so games, of course, need to be alternated.

EDUCATIONAL TOYS THAT KIDS NEED AT 2 YEARS

Plasticine and dough for children 2-3 years old for development

The choice of these materials should be approached very selectively. Plasticine of "Soviet" quality is subsequently problematic to wash out from under the nails of children. Modern materials For children's creativity softer, more elastic and do not stain the hands.
Plasticine is a unique find. They can sculpt absolutely everything, from cats, and cars, ending with whole paintings. My daughter, for example, loves it very much when I sculpt "aunt" with her. Head, eyes, hair, arms, legs, shoes, and there must certainly be sisi, and of course a handbag. Do you understand what parents can do with ordinary plasticine? Roll sausages and make a rainbow, make not just a dog, but a spotted one of a certain breed. Plasticine is an ideal educational game for children 2 years old at home.

Let the baby even just pinch it off - these will be the petals of the future flower. It seems to adults - nonsense, and the baby, kneading it in his hands, masters new things, his imagination develops and the first attempts to reproduce what he sees.
Regarding the test for me personally, this is wonderful way keep my daughter busy for an hour. Give the little one a piece of real kneaded dough (so that it doesn’t stick to your hands) and let him swarm around, sculpt turtles, knead, grunt and try. We continue to list what toys are interesting for a child of 2 years.

Dice games for kids

Cubes of different sizes, and different material work wonders in skillful hands parents. Large, soft, cloth-covered foam cubes are usually patterned (girl, boy, circle, square) and can serve as the first teaching aids in learning colors and shapes. Young children do not know how to catch a ball until a certain age, but such cubes can be thrown to them, teaching them to catch and correctly place the handles.

Mosaic for children 3 years old

This is exactly what the manufacturers write, but it is quite possible for a child to buy the first mosaic somewhere at the age of 2.5 years. It is worth choosing large elements with large holes:
1. So that the baby does not swallow them
2. To make it easier to get into the hole
Attention! When giving such a game, or any other with small details, it is worth being in close proximity to the crumbs to prevent punk1, although my daughter hasn't put anything in her mouth since about a year and a half.
Working with a mosaic gives the idea that many things are made up of smaller particles, develops such important character traits as perseverance and perseverance.

Educational games for children puzzles and lotto

This is exactly what gradually develops the ability to think, analyze, group and develop visual memory. There are enough educational puzzles on sale, but I recommend buying large and very simple ones at this age, so that when answering the question: “What toys are interesting for a child at 2 years old”, you answer: “Funny and interesting.” We noticed that children love to play what do they get? Here are the puzzles in the photo, ideal for the age of 2 years.
You just need to pick up a couple, where, whose mother. When the baby has mastered pairing, it is enough to give, for example, a calf and ask where its mother is. The baby answers the found puzzle: “Mom is a cow.” Having mastered these very simple ones, you can acquire more complex and larger ones. Change direction, your child has mastered animals, offer him a loto where you need to dock:
by flowers
by figures
animals - birds
vegetables fruits
edible - not edible

Complicated puzzles can be considered a good option for developing games for children 2 years old at home. On these they draw on one side the animal itself with a letter, and on the other what it eats and where it lives. Seems simple? We take a cow. But the puzzle with a barn and hay is only suitable for her. The point is that there is a similar puzzle for a horse, it also has hay on it, but a stable with a paddock instead of a barn. The chicken also lives in the barn, but eats corn and wheat.

Soft puzzles - rugs for children's rooms with the image of cartoon characters are very popular as a gift to a child.

Fridge magnets with numbers

Such magnets are not expensive, but they really help purposeful and persistent parents to train their child as quickly as possible. Perfect option for a gift for no reason.

educational music posters

They are usually sold in bookstores. This is a 100% hit when answering the question: "What toys are needed and interesting for children at 2 years old." Get ready for the fact that you have to buy more than one such poster. My 2 year old loved the animal poster. There were functions:
A story about each animal (name, color, sound, where it lives)
Guess the animal (yellow, red, blue, red, Brown)
Guess which animal makes this sound?
What animal lives on the farm?
Who lives in the lake?
Who lives in the jungle and savanna?
Poems about animals
Songs about animals
On initial stage you will, of course, need to sit with the baby, play and press the buttons. In a matter of days, your little one will understand what's what and will press the mugs with might and main. Hearing the answer: "Well done, right" will clap their hands and squeak with delight.
In order for educational posters to live up to their name, they need to be stored in a box and taken out periodically for 1-2 hours. Then the interest will not disappear. For children who are already 2.5 years old, feel free to mount a poster with letters and numbers on the wall according to their height.

puzzles and other toys for children 2 years old

There are posters with geometric shapes is a find. Thanks to this poster, the child in game form recognizes both the trapezoid and the ellipse. There are drawings consisting of multi-colored geometric shapes:
1.House
2.Lake
3.Flower
4.2 bridges (semicircle and trapezium)
5. Machine
6.Washing machine
7. Helicopter
8.Boat
9.Cow
Clicking on a figure tells about it:
Color (if the figure is the same color)
Which part of the drawing consists of which figure (for example, a house consists of several multi-colored figures)
What color is each element of the composite figure.
Particularly advanced parents can buy such a developmental rug in English.

Various talking toys, children's tablets

This section includes all toys that have a lot of buttons, starting from the piano (pictured

photo of a musical piano with buttons with vegetables in English

one where vegetables are pronounced in English) and ending with toys externally designed in the form of computers, tablets and other “stuffed with electronics” products. Usually this expensive toys which really contribute to the development of babies. What to look for when choosing an educational toy?

photo of children playing

1. To match the price and quality. There are phones in the form of a Masha doll (from the cartoon Masha and the Bear), but the price for such a toy is clearly too high. What are the functions there? Sings 12 songs, says some phrases Machines and all? The price is so high for the box and Masha's brand itself.
2. The toy must not "stink" with plastic or glue.
3. The presence of a volume control.
4. If it's a large flat toy with speakers inside, shake it lightly to make sure the speakers are secure. Otherwise, such pleasure will quickly break down (they will simply come off inside the dynamics).

5. If you are already paying for such a toy, then let it be stuffed as much as possible with the alphabet, rhymes, songs, short stories about animals. Don't just press the duck and it will quack.
6. Ideally, these are equipped with voice recorders for 3-6 minutes. There are two options: either you will dictate fairy tales for the night, or the child will dictate poems under your guidance, and you will endlessly erase the notes.
What other toys are interesting for a child at 2 years old?

Paints, large coloring pages

Let the first pencils be soft, the paints are not gouache in jars, but ordinary honey. You should not expect that at first it will be really correctly painted drawings.

photo of a child drawing

There will be scribbles, but this will always give you 10 minutes of peace. For adults, this may seem pointless, but there are also benefits from coloring. The baby begins to think about what color to take, that it is better to hold the pencils at an angle, not to press hard (yes, the baby needs to learn all this). If an example is attached to the coloring, then he learns to compare. The stickers included in the kit are great for developing fine motor skills of the fingers. Children peel and stick them several times.

Constructors with large details

All designers can be classified as those that can be presented to a child for 2 years. One has only to decide on the number of parts and dimensions. When buying, make sure that the parts are easily connected to each other. No matter how ridiculous it sounds, but you should not overpay for packaging if there are 20-25 more parts in the grid for the price of a set in a box.
Ideal for dads to play with their sons and daughters.
Lego constructors of course more interesting topics that offer immediately a story game with additional elements(palm trees, shops, people, cars), but they are much more expensive. They can be safely classified as toys. interesting to the child at 2-3 years old. The details there are extremely small, such a designer can only be given to children who are more than 2.5 years old and under adult supervision.

EDUCATIONAL TOYS YOUR 2 YEARS NEED

Naturally, educational toys also develop your treasure, but they are more educational.

Take the same lacing. They come in different sizes and are sold in stores everywhere. They are required by educators in kindergartens, so that children train on them at first just to get into the holes, and then learn to lace up. It seems like small things, but it develops perseverance, perseverance and teaches the necessary skills of adult life.

Strollers, ironing boards, kitchens for girls and similar "male" sets. This is your crowning exit. The parent not only shows by example what needs to be done, but also explains how and why.
-Now let's lay out the clothes and iron them so that the doll is neat. The folds look bad, we press the steamer button, like on my mother's adult iron. Only you can’t bring the pen to the steam, you can get burned.

Putting the doll in the stroller to sleep, tell why sleep is needed, gently cover the doll (so that she is warm and does not get sick). A similar situation with a toy kitchen, fry cutlets - turn on the hood, but the chicken can be baked in the oven (so it is more useful). We immediately wipe the hood, wash the dishes.

To educational toys for boys tool kits include:
Construction
Mounting
Constructors, consisting of metal parts, where there are screwdrivers, screws, screws. The role of a builder up to 3 years is most often performed by dad, showing what and how. The sons are watching this process, as if charmed. Then it is already possible for the whole family to ride the assembled fancy car, put the little men on the plane and even catapult them.

WHAT TO BUY A 2-YEAR-OLD CHILD FOR ACTIVE GAMES

We will talk about toys that are played indoors, because the little ones are never bored on the street.

Skittles

Just what a mobile baby needs. Line up, knock down, line up again. They are inexpensive, light, made of plastic. Not traumatic. Solid pluses.

mini basketball

The advantage is the price and the presence of Velcro on the board with a basket. The downside is that few children of this age like to play such basketball alone, but if you screw the board with a throw basket to the level of the baby’s shoulders and sit down to throw the ball into the basket together, the house will be full of fun. In addition, the ball will bounce, and while the baby will bring it to you, it runs pretty much, having spent the accumulated excess energy.

Balls on suction cups with plates

The price here is also miserable, but you definitely need an adult for games, at least an older brother or sister. Concave plastic plates are covered with a rough cloth, and when thrown, a ball covered with suction cups sticks to them. The ball itself, if thrown with force, can injure. It is better to place the children a short distance from each other, this will reduce the force of the throw.

A hit of all times, but, alas, you can’t buy them in the store. We used a water heater box for this purpose. Cut out a window and a door. If desired and large sizes box can be wrapped old cloth, inside even make curtains. I will dispel the myth of fragility. This halabuda has been standing in our house for a month! This idea can be considered the winner when answering the question: "What toys are interesting for a child at 2 years old."
