What toys a baby needs for a child of seven months
The kid at this age will need small toys - cubes, balls, rings from the pyramid. The kid will take them in their hands, consider, throw, seek, get out of the box. Large beads( cord
or stick with beads strung on them) the child will move, intercept, shift from hand to hand.
Toys, so they can be pulled by a rope.
Toys that start working after pressing a button.
Household items. You can give your child household items of small size, but at the same time such that they can not be shoved into the mouth: lids from cans, strainer with a handle of at least 5 cm in diameter, Khokhloma spoons, bottles, plastic trunks, bowls, etc. The child will take objects from containers, knock them, learn the properties of objects, explore them and act on them in imitation, listen to the sound when they knock each other, etc.
Compare properties. At the disposal of the child there must be objects whose properties are better manifested in comparison. For example, to tighten it is better to give different balls or balls: tight and soft. To get the sound effect - a wooden rattle with a soft tapping of the filler and plastic, which produces a sharper sound.
Novelty and Contrast. For throwing, pick up such toys so that they attract the child with novelty and contrast. So, if the kid throws a plastic ball on the floor, he will make a loud sound and, bouncing, roll;If he throws a large ball, he will only roll;if the inflatable toy - it will stop, two times having jumped;the rattle will fall, making a roar.
How to teach a child about specific actions. To teach the child to get objects, first direct the child's pen to the box, so that he sorted objects on the bottom, grabbed them. Also point the pen with the toy into the box and unclasp the fingers of the child or release the toy from his hand. Then shake the box, drawing the child's attention to the toy left there. So you
form the insertion action. Such actions are called correlative.
What should be your help. Show the child a variety of activities with objects and call your actions, encouraging the child to imitate you: "I'll roll the ball and you roll", "I called the bell and you call."The kid needs help. Parents should open to him the specific properties of objects: a round ball can be rolled, cubes stacked on top of one another, small items stacked in a box, etc. Similar to
actions will help the child to learn things in many ways, he will become more focused, will play for a long time,.It is necessary that the baby kept interest in the game and toys. Do not require him to accurately imitate your actions, this is still beyond his power. Change toys, alternate with them, fantasize and, of course, do not forget to enjoy the child's successes, support and encourage him with praise.
Development of fine motor skills. Given the child's awakening interest in small items, let him collect the bread crumbs from the table. Let him grab them with his fingers, training the accuracy of movements, visual-motor coordination. By 8 months from the capture of the upper third fingers of the child, the child will move to the grip with two fingers - large and index.
The game "Ku-ku". In the second half of the year the game will be useful, in which you need to find a small object hidden in front of the baby's eyes. And an adult, if he wants the kid to remember him, should not just be in the child's field of vision, but also necessarily enter into communication with him.
The toy is under the kerchief, hidden in a box in front of the child, peeks out from behind the screen, which can be made from an old folder.
The child learns the structure of communication at the level of your actions. In the game of the mother with the child, there are several basic rules: initial contact - disappearance - appearance - repetition. By assimilating the rules system of this game, the child
begins to modify them, so does the adult. As a result, there arises an anticipation of each other's behavior, which enriches the game, makes it understandable to both. So in the game with advance in time, an individual communication structure is formed.
