What toys does a child need for a walk: scooter, stroller, pistols
Finally, the time has come for bubbles, windmills, boomerangs, bouncing bouncers, skipping ropes and slimes that have no place in your apartment! In the summer, children simply love to take their favorite toys out into the yard. What to take with you on an exciting trip?
From birth to one and a half years
Inflatable playpen
If the child is so small that he cannot walk, and the sandbox still frightens the mother with its non-sterility, we can recommend her an inflatable arena with high mesh sides and a soft bottom. Lightweight and easy to clean, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Not everyone today welcomes motion sickness before bedtime, and in such an arena, a baby can sleep in the fresh air without a stroller. By the way, this option is perfect for giving.
Electric cars
Kids just love them. Still, after all, sitting behind the wheel, you can feel like a real chauffeur! And nothing that dad drives the vehicle, who, by the way, also gets a lot of pleasure from the process. The only drawback of such toys is their high cost. And you also have to think about where to store them, because they take up a lot of space. But if finances allow, and the apartment has a spacious storage room (or a garage in the yard), then feel free to buy electric cars for your child, regardless of gender. By the way, then these bulky cars can be successfully resold.
Scoop, bucket, watering can, rake
In our well-fed years, gardening work for city dwellers is almost always a hobby. If you suddenly enjoy tinkering with the ground, be sure to let your child try it. He will probably find it curious how flowers or vegetables are made from ordinary-looking seeds! Perhaps he could even grow a real sunflower under the entrance windows, like Elvis Karlsson in the book by Maria Gripe. All these peasant-farm accessories will come in handy in the sandbox along with fashionable millers and sand rollers. A nice bonus – when you enter the first grade, you will find out that the child is fine with fine motor skills, because, digging in the ground, he is actively working with his fingers.
Musical Instruments
In winter, many mothers hide children’s musical instruments in the closet so that the neighbors do not go crazy. Summer is another matter. Feel free to take all your drums, guitars and pipes out into the yard! It’s never quiet on the playground, so a percussion instrument, along with wind instruments, strings and keyboards, will be appropriate there like nowhere else. And if other mothers support your initiative, then the offspring will be able to assemble their own orchestra. Musical toys will go with a bang both in the country and during a picnic in nature.
Strollers
Has your daughter ceased to be interested in the stroller that was given to her in winter? She just doesn’t have enough space. We take a doll in an armful and run to roll it along the asphalt sidewalks! Your little one will like to feel like a real member of the “mother’s” society with her own daughter in a pink dress and an agile stroller. For the smallest girls, strollers also serve as a distracting support, helping to take the first steps. By the way, baby sling packs for carrying dolls are also produced for children – exactly the same as those of mothers.
Cheerful sonorous ball
Summer is the best time to discover team sports in your child. If the kid still can’t hit the ball deftly, in no case show disappointment, and even less scold him. A few days of training with dad – and your son will become faster, more agile, stronger literally before our eyes. By the way, the father will be happy to play football, volleyball or basketball no less than his child! Especially if the ball is real, sporty, without drawings of Mickey Mouse and other characters.
Books about games
Yes, you didn’t hear it. Today, books are being released with a detailed description of games from our childhood with you, such as “Sabrze” and “Bouncer”. What are they needed for? So that parents remember the simple rules of these fun and tell their children. You have heard more than once how mothers and fathers lament: “In our childhood we played Cossack robbers, blew up carbide and set fire to poplar fluff, and the current generation only knows what to sit in a tablet …” We will postpone gadgets until rainy days, Let’s forget carbide and fluff as a bad dream, and children … Yes, they just need to be taught that we loved so much! As the experience of interested mothers shows, if you gather a company of children and captivate them with good old games, everyone is involved – in the best traditions of Soviet courtyards.
Pistols, bows, swords
All this dangerous-looking weapon that you did not allow to really try out at home, worrying about a laptop, trellis and your own cat, is just made for the street. The boys will quickly find themselves a suitable company for war, and you can calmly watch it from the sidelines. We recommend that you take out plastic glasses like those sold in kits for chemical experiments along with the militaristic arsenal. They do not put as much pressure on the ears as swimming goggles, but they are quite capable of protecting the eyes from a plastic bullet. And, of course, the summer must-have – water pistols. To douse them in the heat is a pleasure.
Controlled helicopter
When we in our childhood flew kites into the sky, we could not even dream that movie helicopters on the control panel would soon be available to everyone. And now we can allow this joy to our children. Controlled helicopters are such a fascinating thing that not only children, but also adults dream of playing with it. An important point: do not repeat the mistake of many parents – do not go to the park to experience the miracle of technology! The helicopter can get entangled in the dense crowns of trees, and this is where its free flight ends. And dad will have to climb the tree, remembering his reckless childhood.
Rollers, skateboards, hoverboards
All these means of transportation, together with ageless bicycles, scooters and balance bikes, can hardly even be classified as toys, as they are so useful for physical development. But when buying inventory, do not forget about knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet. Many parents ignore these basic remedies, but in vain. The child will fall on the asphalt a hundred times before he masters the bike, and will thank you the same number of times for the whole knees.
