7 games and toys for babies from 0 to 2 years old
Write down our selection of the most suitable games and toys for babies, from birth to 2 years old:
1. Sensory bottles: We start from the basis that the most children learn from sensory stimulation, so all kinds of sounds and textures arouse their curiosity.
They are also very easy to manufacture. Here are some ideas:
- Sensory water and glitter bottle.
We will need:
Small plastic bottle
Water
Glitter
Oil
Silicone (silicone gun)
- Sensory rice bottle.
We will need:
Small plastic bottle
Rice
Silicone (silicone gun)
In any of the cases, we will put the materials that we want inside the bottle and when we have them we will put silicone on the inside of the cap and close it. It is very important that it is well sealed.
2. Sensory books: As for the sensory books, you can find a great variety. There are even books made by hand and adapted to the tastes and needs of each one of the children.
3. Basket of treasures: It consists of a hard wicker basket (or box), flat, without handles and low height, formed by a rich variety of everyday objects: metal objects (spoons, strainer ...), wood (mortar, geometric cubes ...), cardboard (roll kitchen paper, cardboard box ...), rubber (teethers, balls ...) and natural (orange, lemon, feathers ...) chosen one by one to stimulate the five senses of the child and offer a wide range of sensory experiences: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell.
At this age the children begin to be aware of themselves and to recognize the people who are part of their immediate surroundings. That is why the mirrors can give us a lot of play, since they see themselves and we can put different expressions that will call your attention.
4. Soft balls: We must bear in mind that the materials we use are appropriate for this age. In this case we specify that they are soft because they still do not have total control of their movements and can lean on the ball, so this type of toy avoids risks for them. With them we can work all gross psychomotricity, as they move towards it or the oculi-manual coordination by asking them to throw it at us and to take it.
We can not forget that strengthen the muscle tone at these ages is essential (put on your stomach, roll over on your own ...), since this is what will help you to start crawling, to stay seated and then to walk . So ... Everyone on the floor!
For ages a little more advanced, we can also highlight:
5. Soap bubbles: A very good resource also as a birthday gift for children of this age.
6. Flashlights: A very simple game to do and who love to play. It is simply a question of putting colored paper on a flashlight so that the light changes color. They have a great time! Instru 7. Musical instruments:
Maracas, drum, cymbals, triangle ... Esperamos We hope it was of interest to you! Elena García Miranda
