What to present for a child aged 7-11 months?
After six months, children begin to change dramatically. These are no longer helpless babies who do nothing but lie in the crib. Starting at 7 months, they become more curious and active. During this period, it is important to give them not simple, but useful gifts that will help develop basic skills.
What to consider when choosing?
On the eve of a holiday, everyone takes care of buying gifts. Particular attention is paid to the selection of children's gifts. On the one hand, it seems that choosing a present for a baby under one year old is easy. But on the other hand, this is not as easy a task as it seems at first glance. When choosing a present for a child of 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 months, it is important to take into account the peculiarity of age and the changes that occur to them.
Starting from the age of seven months, children already sit steadily, begin to actively crawl and explore the world around them. This feature of babies should be taken into account when choosing a gift.
Children under one year old already skillfully grab various objects, study them, try to chew or take apart. Therefore, if you are choosing a gift for a nine- or ten-month-old baby, then remember that it must be safe.
You cannot choose those toys and objects that have small details. The kid can swallow them, which will lead to negative consequences. Besides, toys must be made exclusively of high quality and safe materials. Children under one year old pull into their mouths all those objects that come across their hand. And if the toy is of poor quality, it can cause serious poisoning. Besides, you should not give soft toys to small children of this age. Especially shaggy bears or bunnies with long hair.
If you are choosing a present for the baby of your relatives or friends, then it is best to consult with the parents in order to make the right choice and purchase the right thing.
You should not buy too expensive toys from well-known world brands for babies of this age. Children at this age break everything very quickly, and it will be a shame if an expensive thing breaks on the very first day.
