What toys should I buy for children? DIY tips for toy storage

Children are born with an indescribable love for toys. When parents choose toys for their children, how should they choose the right ones? And how should they store too many toys?

Smart toys and "dumb" toys

Faced with a wide variety of toys, parents sometimes spend a long time carefully selecting but still cannot find a toy that their children like; sometimes they reluctantly buy an expensive toy, but the toy is put into the cold palace after just two plays... If you want to hit the mark and get the toys that your children like, you have to learn to distinguish between "smart" toys and "stupid" toys.

(1) “Smart” toys are open-ended

It allows children to think from different perspectives, and by changing the way they play each time, they will never get bored no matter how long they play.

(2) “Smart” toys can provide sensory stimulation to babies and cultivate their imagination.

For example, with building blocks, babies may just grab the blocks and chew them at first, which is their initial way of exploring and understanding the world. When they grow up, they can let the blocks collide to hear the sound and understand the cause and effect relationship. When they grow up again, they can recognize colors and shapes through building blocks. When they grow up again, they can also use building blocks to build houses and cars of various shapes. Isn't it really a new way to play with them?

(3) “Smart” toys are age-appropriate

"Smart" toys must allow children to take the lead and give them a sense of accomplishment through active operation. They should not be too difficult to make them feel frustrated, nor too simple to make them feel bored.

(4) “Smart” toys can provide children with high-quality parent-child companionship

"Smart" toys must allow children to play with friends of the same age or parents, thereby enhancing the interactive relationship between parents and children.

Some toys that make loud noises or flash very brightly are not suitable for children. Some "semi-structured" or locally made toys, such as discarded bottles, cans, cartons, mineral water bottles, toilet paper, etc., are children's favorites.

Basic points for choosing toys--educational toys

Educational toys are what every parent likes to buy for their children. Because in the process of playing with "toys", it can exercise the baby's intelligence, skills and abilities. So what kind of toys are educational?

1. This toy can play a big role in the baby, for example, it can give the baby a lot of imagination and some space for creating fantasy. This can attract the baby's attention for a longer time. Educational toys must be displayed, controlled, and changed in different ways to be good for the baby's creativity. Therefore, an educational toy must contain a variety of methods.

2. The colors of toys can be more colorful. Children are very curious about things in the outside world. Especially beautiful and novel things are the most attractive to them. A fun and educational toy must have colorful colors.

3. Choose educational toys according to the age of your baby. Children tend to get tired of old toys and love new ones, so when buying educational toys, try to choose toys that are more age-appropriate. This can also increase your baby's curiosity about toys.

Toy Storage Tips

Sort toys into categories

Regardless of whether they are bought by themselves or given by relatives or friends, basically every home with children has all kinds of toys, big and small. Faced with these gadgets, mothers may wish to classify them, put the toys that the baby cannot play with and use together and do not take them out for the time being; put some small items such as cars and building blocks into a box and label them; collect plush toys in a bag or place them at the head of the bed as decoration, etc. With good classification, not only will the home become tidy, but it will also be much easier to find things.

Put your baby’s favorite things in a prominent place

Most children have a toy that they cannot put down every day when they are young. It is recommended that mothers place their baby’s favorite toys within easy reach. On the one hand, this can prevent the baby from searching everywhere and destroying the cleanliness of the room; on the other hand, it can also allow children to find a sense of security from their favorite toys.

Keep toys fresh

Babies have one thing in common when it comes to toys: they like new things but dislike old ones. In fact, there are already the same toys at home, but when the baby sees another toy of the same model, he still wants it. In this case, mothers don’t have to buy toys for their children blindly. They just need to temporarily store the existing toys, and then take them out every once in a while, and let the baby play with them alternately. This way, the child can keep the toys fresh.

Throw away unusable toys

For toys that are no longer suitable for children as they grow older, parents should promptly put them on the disposal list and give them to children of the appropriate age to play with again. However, if they are broken or really useless, they must be thrown away without hesitation. Don't be reluctant to throw them away!
