What to give a 6 month old baby for the New Year
At this time, rattles are no longer interesting, and it is too early to offer cars and dolls. Give him a musical toy that has buttons. Usually kids are delighted with such surprises.
Pyramid - why not an option for a gift? It develops motor skills and logic, introduces colors. The baby can spend a long time assembling and disassembling it. At first, help him with this.
Many people think that a book at this age is not the best surprise. In fact, there are publications with bright illustrations and thick (washable or rag) pages that a child cannot spoil. The baby will point with his finger at the pictures, and you will answer what is shown on them.
You can purchase a developmental mat on which he will crawl while learning new subjects. It depicts all kinds of tweeters, rustlers, and many manufacturers also offer a mirror. Individual pieces of fabric can be separated from the rug and attached back. During the game, sensorimotor coordination, spatial orientation, and hand motor skills develop.

A good toy does not contain small parts, and its material does not emit any aromas. As for materials, pay attention to wood, as toys made from it are safe. You can also choose a good gift made from plastic, the main thing is that it is certified.
Avoid soft animals - children at that age are not interested in them and will simply gather dust on the shelf

Playing with toys with your baby
At 10 months old, it is especially important for a child to communicate with mom and dad, as well as with other relatives and peers. Therefore, it is important to know what games can already be played using toys.
- The simplest game is playing cars.
I played with my son every day. We took out several cars, from which first the baby chose a toy, and then I. We played differently. Either they drove to meet each other, or they arranged races. And also, when a big truck came into play, my son put his beloved dog Gavchik in the back and rolled the truck by a rope (I brought it to the bumper in advance). It is clear that the son did not yet know how to walk independently and it was not very comfortable and easy for him. I held him by one hand, and with the other he held a rope. When my son got older and learned to walk on his own, he rolled the truck with even greater pleasure.
- Ball games.
This is generally a very exciting game. My son sat on the mat, I sat facing him at a distance of two meters from him. Then we started rolling the ball to each other. You just have to understand that for this game you will need a medium-sized ball. The kid was so happy when he caught the ball.
- You can play on the phone with your child. Children love to imitate adults. Therefore, you can purchase a set of two phones. These can be cell phones or regular phones. You can talk to your baby while you are either in the same room or hiding behind the door. And if the phone supports the remote communication function, then even while in another room.
- You can play a musical instrument. A children's piano is ideal. Show your baby that pressing a button makes a sound. Now let the little one try to press, not necessarily the same key.

What should you buy for your child?
Many new parents wonder what toys a 9-month-old baby needs. Kids of this age are quite active.
They can already sit and stand up. Some begin to pronounce their first words. Selecting toys for nine-month-old children needs to be more targeted.
It is not recommended to buy fragile, expensive items. It is desirable that the toy be bright, multifunctional and practical. Then the baby will study it and play with it for a long time. It is necessary to take into account the gender of the child.
Many babies at the age of nine months strive to copy the actions of their parents. Therefore, it is worth purchasing toys that will instill adult life skills.

Traditionally, it is believed that boys need to buy cars, robot figures, dinosaurs, and balls. But the list of useful items is much wider. Many of them are played by both boys and girls.
Sons, as a rule, strive to be like their father. They are interested in construction tools. The guys like to assemble and design things. Naturally, at 9 months, they don’t do this very well.

For girl
For girls, you should choose toys that will instill in her feelings of goodness, beauty, love, and aesthetics. It is believed that babies should buy dolls and baby dolls. But the list of toys should be longer and more varied. Many girls strive to be like their mother. Therefore, a children's set of kitchen utensils will be very useful.

Developing fine motor skills
- Give your baby two jars. Pour beads or buttons and dried peas into one. Show your little one that small objects can be poured from one container to another. It's important to be present. After all, a baby can pull something into his mouth.
- Show your child that you can lay out a certain shape using small objects.
I printed out a picture on a printer (from a coloring book, so that there was only a clear outline). And she set an example for her son. She took small buttons and laid them along the line. My son first watched carefully, and then began to lay it out himself, and tried very hard.
- Let the little one take the lids off the jars; it’s better to take twist jars.
- Playing in the sandbox, which includes digging with a shovel, also has a positive effect on the development of fine motor skills.

What games can you play with an 8-month-old toddler?
At this age, it is important to develop children both mentally and physically. Any everyday moments can be turned into games with an 8-month-old baby. It doesn't matter if he crawls or eats, all skills must be used correctly. Children love to play with their mother, so do not leave your child alone with toys for a long time. Try to play in such a way that the baby can remember and repeat your actions. Help him explore the new world with you.
At this age, children like tactile games (“The Thieving Magpie”, “Ladushki”), games with balls, and pyramids. Read books to your child, look at pictures and photographs - these moments will definitely affect his mental development.
Educational games for an eight month old baby
We list active games for an 8-month-old baby:
- "Hide and Seek";
- "Catch-up";
- "Overcoming obstacles".
For physical development, help your son or daughter sit, crawl, stand on their feet, holding onto support. On the street, be sure to show and pronounce the names of objects (trees, flowers, leaves), animals and birds. This will develop their sensory perception.
Children need to start reading books from early childhood. For your first books, choose those that are not afraid of water. Your child will definitely want to taste them. Also consider options made from thick cardboard with large pictures.
Features of the physical and psychological development of a child at 8 months
At 8 months, the child becomes interested in all the surrounding objects: he just wants to touch and taste them. Considering that children already confidently hold their backs and sit, they try to grab onto something with both hands. Now parents need to be even more careful: safety must come first.
The child distinguishes the intonation of his parents: he understands when he is praised or scolded. When meeting other children, he tries to establish contact: he stretches out his hands, smiles.
The sounds a child makes change every day. Watch him while he plays: if you listen, you can recognize the child’s speech. You will not hear clear words yet, but this is a preparatory stage for the fact that the child will soon utter his first words. Many children are wary of loud noises, so it’s best to avoid using electrical appliances for now.
The child is still inextricably linked with his mother: a long absence of the closest person can upset him. Despite the curiosity and restlessness of children at this age, parents should still hold them in their arms: this is extremely important for psychological development.
While awake, the baby spends a lot of time playing: he can entertain himself for 10-15 minutes. At the same time, it is important to provide the child with those games that will contribute to his proper upbringing.
Educational games for children aged 8 months should:
- develop fine motor skills of the hands;
- train sitting and crawling skills;
- help to learn new sounds;
- develop active speech;
- expand knowledge about the world around us.
What can a baby do at this age?
Having reached the 8 month mark, many children can already:
- crawl on all fours;
- sit down from any position;
- stand up with the help of support (they can even take several steps independently);
- hold objects with two fingers;
- transfer things from one hand to another;
- distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar faces;
- open your mouth wide while feeding (some children are able to hold a spoon independently);
- play “Okay” and wave goodbye.
