Pyramids for the smallest
It’s worth acquiring a toy for assembling individual elements on the base, as soon as the baby begins to grab the items he is interested in and try to fold them. Specialists in early development argue that in the play area of a six-month-old child, there must be a pyramid, and preferably not one. The classic version of this toy is plastic multi-colored rings strung on a rod and closed with a tip, which is most often made in the form of a cone or ball.
Choosing children's pyramids, make sure that they are made of harmless material, and be prepared for the fact that the child will definitely taste this product. Many mothers do not like the central rods for assembling the rings. If this design doesn’t seem too safe for you, choose pyramids that are assembled with grooves and protruding elements and which do not have a rod. Another interesting proposal for the smallest is the pyramids, consisting of rattle rings. Such a toy can be used from birth: first, the baby will play with individual elements, and then be sure to learn how to assemble them into a whole design.

Many kids also really like children's pyramids from cups. Toys in this category are the most compact, because in a disassembled state all the constituent elements are stacked into each other. Cups for assembly are considered the longest-playing type of the first designer, because interest in them does not wane in many children, even at 3-4 years old. There are other varieties of pyramids, such as toys made specifically for use in the bath - with spray guns and watering cans, or sorters, the rings of which have slots of various shapes and a set of figures for insertion into them.
