Your child is not yet two months old, and you already want to fill his room with many toys? As a rule, at first the baby does not care what toy is in his hands. The main thing is that it should be bright and ring. But, unfortunately, this attitude prevails only in one-year-old children. After some time, they begin to distinguish a good machine from a rattle. And at this stage of life, many parents have a question: what are the best children's toys?
Manufacturers of children's goods are constantly inventing something new, more modern and interesting. Therefore, it can be very difficult for parents to determine which toy to buy for a child. After all, the most important thing is that he would like her, and he would play with her for a long time. Soldiers, a pistol with bullets, plasticine - all this for a short time. In a week, or even less, your baby will hide it in the “old box” and will ask for something new. Therefore, this article contains the best children's toys that will appeal to children of any age.
A lot of toys - not enough space
The child has already begun to walk, but you still do not know how best to store toys in the children's room? This happens quite often, and you need to prepare for this in advance. It is especially hard for those who have two or more children and live in a small apartment. To place all the toys that were given by parents and close relatives is not an easy task. You can still consider a few practical options that many parents use:
- Wardrobe with open shelves. The main advantage of such furniture is low cost and small dimensions. The wardrobe fits perfectly into any modern interior. But before you put things in it, you will need to sort them: books with notebooks - on one shelf; cars and soldiers - to another; pens, pencils and plasticine - on the third.
- An open shelf with baskets. If you have a pair of wide boards, then such shelves are easier to do on their own. Stick labels on each of them, on which the name of the toys will be written. Thus, you will help your baby become more collected and responsible.
- Decorative buckets. This is another original method of storing children's toys. You can use both plastic and iron. But, as practice shows, plastic buckets, although not as durable as iron, are very lightweight and cost-effective. You can decorate them with colorful ribbons and colored paper.
If you do not have the opportunity to purchase children's furniture for storing toys, then use the materials at hand (boards, buckets, baskets) and build a cozy corner for your baby yourself. Now consider the best children's toys that have become very popular lately.
Robotic mechanoid
This robot attracted the attention of not only children but also adults. Due to its unique shape and rich functionality, the robot mechanoid from Star Wars takes pride of place in the ranking of the best children's toys.
You can control this gadget from your smartphone by connecting to it via Bluetooth. Not so long ago, Star Wars updated the model by installing many additional features. And to all this - a special bracelet on hand. Now you can give commands through a laptop computer that is mounted on the wrist. Of course, such a toy will cost parents a round sum, but believe me - it's worth it.
Drone Steady Quad Cam
Second in our ranking is the Revell Quadcopter flying drone. This aircraft is equipped with an HD camera that can shoot video in high resolution and save it to a memory card up to GB. A fully charged battery allows the drone to be in the air for more than 5 minutes. This time is enough to make unique shots. For example, fly up to Niagara Falls or go down to the Goynuk canyon.
Puppy chip
When a child turns 5-6 years old - this means that very soon he will bring a small dog or kitten into the house, picking it up somewhere on the street. To deny him this desire to have a pet is to destroy his first childhood dream. But what if the child’s intention does not coincide with the wishes of the parents? For this case, WowWee invented the mechanical puppy Chip.
This funny pet will be your best friend for your baby. The puppy executes many commands received from your smartphone. An interactive dog never parted with his beloved ball, which was called SmartBall.
Good quality children's toys are usually very expensive. Therefore, not every parent can afford such a purchase.
Action Camera VTech Kidi Zoom
If you want to surprise your child and give him a unique gift, then the Kidi Zoom action camera is one of the best options. The camera shell is made of waterproof material, which makes it possible to shoot video even under water.
The gift is aimed at children aged 4 to 12 years. But not only children use it, but also parents. The camera resolution is not high - 640 x 480 pixels, and this is enough to capture water beauties up to two meters deep. You can use the toy not only underwater, but also on land by attaching the camera to the handlebars of a bicycle, skateboard or bicycle helmet.
Best kids toys for girls
All of the above products are designed for both girls and boys. Therefore, you can be sure that any of these gifts will appeal to your child, regardless of his age or gender. But there is a category of toys that only girls like. For example, a dollhouse or a dance mat.
Dollhouse
The dollhouse is the dream of every girl. The price of such products is always kept at a high level, as the best manufacturers of children's toys are well aware that doll houses are in the top 5 of the most popular entertainment for young princesses.
In addition, such a purchase will not only decorate the interior of your home, making it more modern, but also help your baby develop intelligence and logical thinking. In addition, the dollhouse trains finger motility (since all the objects are quite small), teaches the future housewife to help parents around the house (prepare food, clean up the apartment). And most importantly, it improves relations between sisters or girlfriends who play in the same company.
Although such toys are not cheap, you can buy them at almost any children's store. As for the variety of models, parents cannot do without the help of a child. It is better that the daughter herself choose which house she likes the most.
Mat for dancing
If the daughter is a mobile cheerful girl, she will like this gift very much. This entertainment will give your child a lot of positive emotions and provide physical activity for the whole day.
Interactive rugs are designed not only for children, but also for adults, so you can dance on them with the whole family. They are made of anti-slip material and touch sensors that respond to touch. The dance mat can be connected to a computer, TV, and even a game console.
With each connection, the program provides a choice of levels: from easy to very difficult. At first, it is recommended to choose an easy level of movement for the child, so that the baby does not get her legs tangled, and she is not disappointed in the gift. After some time, the difficulty of dancing can be increased. It will be fun to call friends and arrange a competition by testing everyone’s dancing abilities.
Toys for boys
What is the difference between toys for boys and toys for girls? The difference is small, but still there. This is not only the appearance and design. One of the main differences is the appointment. If toys for girls develop such qualities as accuracy, patience, etc., then toys for boys help develop male character traits.
It is also worth noting that the best firms of children's toys, as a rule, produce a lot of goods intended for boys. Some of the most popular are: the railway, the Lego constructor, a radio-controlled car and interactive robots. The cost of such modern gifts is very high, but children with their parents can play these toys. They will give you lots of fun unforgettable moments of communication. Let's look at the best children's toys for boys.
Lego constructors
Lego designers are able to improve the fine motor skills of fingers and develop the thinking of the child. Such toys are produced in series, so each parent can let the kid choose which storyline he will collect: a pirate bay with large galleons, a fire brigade with burning buildings or valiant knights guarding high castles.
From Lego, the young builder will be able to build a huge city with a variety of infrastructure and attractions. Each box has step-by-step instructions, but if the child has a well-developed imagination, then you can create your own skyscrapers, relying only on your imagination and the help of parents.
Lego constructors are the best children's educational toys. The cost of each series depends on the size of the structure. Therefore, if you do not have the opportunity to buy a large pirate ship or the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, you can pay attention to more budget options, for example: a train, a fire brigade or a small bulldozer.
Radio-controlled car
Cars on the control panel are unique and at the same time traditional. This gift is optimal for restless boys aged 6 years and above. Small racing sports cars or huge trucks with trailers will appeal to both quiet and calm kids, and energetic tomboys.
Almost every six-year-old child will be able to independently understand the mechanics of a radio-controlled car. Therefore, such a gift will cause him many violent emotions and delight. In addition, machines equipped with remote control, develop response speed, coordination of movements and children's thinking.
Many do not recommend buying such products through an online store. In the specialized "Children's World" you can check the model you are interested in, understand which one drives faster, turns and so on. Moreover, if your young racer chooses a toy, such a gift will bring him even more joy, since only he knows which particular car he likes the most.
The better to wash children's toys
Regardless of where your child plays, on a clean carpet or outside in a sandbox, you must constantly ensure that all his toys are always clean. Even the best children's toy companies recommend washing them thoroughly and regularly. Why is this necessary?
Dipping a bunny in the toilet, spilling jam or compote on it, dropping it in a puddle, and then putting the toy in his mouth is a common thing for every baby. In addition to constant cleaning in the apartment, it is also necessary to wash and clean children's treasures. There is no escape from this.
A few practical tips to help parents keep children's equipment clean:
- Soft toys, teddy bears, clothes for dolls are washed in an automatic machine. If they have “tweeters” or other electrical parts, then don’t be afraid to tear the toy apart. The cleanliness and safety of a child is more important than the appearance of a teddy bear.
- Plastic dolls and rubber balls can be washed right in the shower or in a small basin. The most important thing is to completely immerse them in water, as dirt can be in hard-to-reach places.
- Bath toys or Lego constructor can be safely washed in the dishwasher.
As a rule, the best children's toys are made of durable material, so do not be afraid to wash them in water. Do not forget to pull out electrical parts from soft toys, and then your child will not be tempted if his bunny no longer beeps. You can use almost any detergent. It is sometimes recommended to add a few drops of potassium permanganate as a disinfectant. But with a high concentration of this substance in water, you can spoil the color of the toy.
Conclusion
The article provides an overview of the best children's toys that can be presented to boys and girls. Also considered are several options for storing children's things. It is worth recalling once again that children's cabinets or shelves can be made independently using improvised materials.
